The names, an NFT group that mixes pixel art and DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization, are shaking up the market and popping up all over the place. Let’s take a look at how they work and understand brand building.
What are the names
Names are Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and are a good example of a set of profile pictures (PFP) being profile pictures used on social networks.
Likewise, names are part of the Ethereum network, which was created to improve community interaction. DAO names do this by using their treasures to build and maintain this community.

Inspired by a tweet by an anonymous member, punk 4156. After interest in the idea picked up, he followed it up with a series of tweets describing the structure that would always become names.
Then, a group of ten Nounders (what the Nouns call their co-founders), including Vine founder Dom Hofmann, worked through a joint Discord and created a DAO, using Punk 4156’s sketch as their guide.
