Researchers used Nouns DAO as a testing ground for AI governance, creating LLM delegates that processed over 500 real proposals with full treasury context.
The experiment revealed key insights:
- AI can be programmed with specific "vibes" and decision-making patterns
- Human bias becomes visible when compared to AI voting patterns
- DAO governance stress-testing shows how automated systems might handle real decisions
The study used steerable AI delegates that could adapt their voting behavior, providing a glimpse into how DAOs might operate with AI participation.
Nouns just got used as an AI governance crash test dummy — 500+ real proposals, full treasury context, and a committee of steerable LLM “delegates” that proved you can program vibes, expose human bias, and stress-test how DAOs will actually run next. ⌐◨-◨ Full paper:
今年4月做过一个实验——让AI大模型扮演DAO决策者去决定2亿美元资金的分配,提案和资金数据都是历史上真实发生的。在实验里GPT4o分配出了3.9万个以太,而DeepSeek V3只分配了2.6个以太。

Key topics: - New era of Nounish clients - Immutable frontend architecture - Decentralized tech stack implementation The session will demonstrate how these technologies work together to create robust, decentralized applications. *Date: July 31, 2025* [Set Reminder Here](reminder-link)
Nouns DAO Funds School Rebuild in Uganda
In a notable example of web3's real-world impact, @davinoyesigye successfully leveraged the Nouns DAO ecosystem to fund the reconstruction of his elementary school in Uganda. This project demonstrates how decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) can facilitate direct community-driven philanthropy and infrastructure development in underserved regions. Key Points: - Local initiative led by community member - Direct funding through Nouns DAO - Educational infrastructure improvement - Successful cross-border implementation This case study shows the practical application of web3 governance for social good.
