Nouns DAO is implementing significant governance changes by transitioning to a Wyoming DUNA (Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association) structure.
Key updates:
- Fork mechanism being replaced as minority protection system
- New streaming model for winning bids
- Owners can exit by canceling streams and withdrawing unvested funds
The new design will undergo audit starting next week, marking a crucial step in the DAO's evolution.
