Public Nouns (@PublicNouns) — Twitter Score 24 out of 1000

Public Nouns is a decentralized autonomous organization and NFT project built as a fork of Nouns DAO, designed to channel onchain auction proceeds entirely toward public goods funding. Public Nouns's Twitter Score is 24 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #40,296 (top 10%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.

Public Nouns was co-founded by MetaCartel, Panvala, Radicle, Optimism, clr.fund, Gitcoin, and MolochDAO. Rather than replicating Nouns' iconic glasses-wearing characters wholesale, the project replaced the NFT heads with memetic representations of public goods, giving each token a distinct identity tied to the mission. One Public Noun is auctioned every 12 hours, and the full proceeds flow automatically into the Public Nouns DAO treasury, with no founder allocation or platform cut.

Public Nouns launched at the end of September 2022 and has since reported raising over 200 ETH for public-goods experimentation. Governance is built directly into the token: each Public Noun NFT carries one vote, votes can be delegated, and they transfer with the NFT upon sale. Through community-approved proposals, the project has funded more than 50 initiatives spanning both web3 and real-world public goods. Public Nouns has published 18,780 posts and has been mentioned by 51 accounts a total of 159 times, with 3,221 followers as of September 2026 on the platform.

Public Nouns's portfolio includes Geo Web.
