Welcome back, everyone! You know how it goes, you're about to get stoked with what's happening in Gnarnia!

Gnars are a new way to fund extreme athletes
We prefer a world where kids aren't sold energy drinks by their heroes. So as a community of action sports enthusiasts, we've formed a DAO to rethink how extreme athletes get sponsored.
Gnars are NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain
Based on Nouns open source and CC0 artwork, they're stored fully on-chain with no external dependencies. Each one gets you a DAO vote and memberships are available at auction, forever.
Gnars are dedicated to supporting the artistry of extreme athletes
News and Updates
Gnars are Extremely Nounish🤘
Our latest proposal to Nouns DAO is live and voting has commenced! Proposal 189 requests 694.20 ETH for Gnars to continue our extreme proliferation through activations like I LOVE XV in Brazil, but all around the world. The proposal has been the center of some contentious debates, but it has sparked a discussion about the future of Nouns that is certainly a critical one. If you haven’t yet, please take the time to read it! It’s definitely one for the history books.

- Gnarsauce Hot Sauce
A proposal asking for 0.69 ETH and Gnar 2767 from the treasury to facilitate the package design and cost of a test batch of “Gnarsauce” - a gnars-themed hot sauce to add flavor to your day. It’s perfect for those on fire trying to keep the flames stoked AND for cheering up those having a participation-trophy-only type of day.
