Gnars DAOGnars is a community-owned skateboarding DAO funding skate culture worldwide.

What is Gnars?
Gnars is a skateboarding collective and community-owned skate brand. We support skaters, filmmakers, designers, and DIY projects by voting on proposals and funding them with community resources.
If you care about skateboarding culture and want it funded by the people who live it, you're in the right place.
“I like the proposal. I dont like the treasure moment. I think we need monetizable proposals or relate the proposal to monetizable actions
I support DCOT and I support the nogglesrail idea, but I dont think we have the money to keep doing it to the infinity with the current treasure and business structure. I would no give up on this, i would just put in the backburner for now
suggestion: LilNouns is insterested in making a lilnouns model of the rail (biggers lenses and lils branded) may be try there if you want it immediately”
Noggles Rail #2 in Colombia for Low Park, Bogota, Suba
“DCOT has been a gnars builder for a long time. this would become the first Noggles Rail of 2026, located in the capital of Colombia, with the inaugural event happening on Go Skateboarding Day... cool initiative.
there are a few things I think could still be improved, but not enough for me to vote against it. I would really love to see at least one high quality cinematic video coming out of this, horizontal one, helping contextualize the project across gnars pages, youtube, the website, and the nogglesrail platform.
I’d also like to better understand the event prizes, and I think it would be great to include with that value gnars stickers and maybe 5 pilot shirts for the activation for example: sell 2, give 1 to someone who helped make the event happen, and 2 for the winners. It’s a very small additional cost, but it helps create stronger physical connection to the DAO while making the event and future media output feel more complete and believable, beyond the rail.”
“Voting For. Pod Media keeps the lights on for Gnars visibility and the culture that makes this DAO worth being in. I'd like to see clearer scope boundaries between Operations and Media workstreams (overlap on Discord, branding) next quarter.”
“Nothing against the pod media guys.
Just investment and time vs treasure size.
I will always defend decentralization in Gnars, and I agree with some points made. As I said before, I would like to see more people taking care of pod media. A lot of good creators and media managers in the Gnars community would be a good fit too. Otherwise, we are centralizing everything. Maybe every 4/6month we need to change the media managers.
Obs: Good builders, old and new, would like to build and talk about Gnars in calls, etc., but they feel that Discord has become a place of fighting and disrespect regarding different opinions. If we don't change that mindset, everyone will keep building Gnars alone and not as a community.
That prop already passed. Good luck, guys, make it worth.”
“Will and Zima do a job that not only keeps Gnars social media and media presence alive, they maintain the aesthetics, branding, and awareness for the DAO, and everyone benefits from it.
Keep pushing! ✨”
“Gm gm! appreciate bros. I hadn’t voted yet and wanted to respond Delay properly. Also, thanks to everyone who voted and shared honest feedback.
Bless, it’s a bit sad to see you feeling like this. I remember when we helped you and Bless Skateshop through a tougher moment... but that’s another topic..
On metrics happy to share. But it’s important to note: before this, there wasn’t much beyond X managed by Gami. Farcaster, Instagram, blogs, videos, and activations came from us executing approved proposals. That’s the DAO system working, i think.. in a Gnarly Way.
On decentralization, I agree with the principle. The DAO is open, and anyone can propose and execute. That’s exactly what we did. Regarding votes and the treasury... I stand by my decisions. You can check my voting history, it’s all there. I act with a clear conscience, that im trying to contribute to the DAO within my principles, skills or vibe... so bro, everything is onchain and transparent for anyone to review.
On self-promotion: I don’t fully see it that way. I’d invite you to look at our profiles and see if there’s really self-promotion between me, Zima, Nogenta, and Will, or if we’ve been highlighting different shredder, especially those active through DAO proposals... across pages and newsletters, we’re genuinely trying to build content that actually connects with the DAO. And if there’s room to improve on that, please feel free, brother, to share feedback on Discord, drop it in the channel, or even open a Trello card so we can track it, and when i say we, should be the DAO because this is on Discord.
Also, I’d invite you to show me again any video or production where you reached out for support. I’ve seen you active on other DAOs like Skatehive, and the “zero support” claim doesn’t fully match what I see. I do remember some product proposals.. a board and the Big Shot Kim glasses.. but that was a while ago. More recently, in terms of initiative (like the Gnarly skateshop idea), do you feel it really landed and had strong follow-through with the DAO? I hope this isn’t coming from frustration around the recent Gnars rounds. As you know, the outcome was decided and voted by Nouners.
I do agree Gnars should grow beyond a small circle, bringing in more skaters, shops, and contributors. But for that to happen, it’s important to plug into the flow and system align with the DAO, plan a proposal, get it passed, and deliver it well, or find other ways to contribute consistently beyond proposals. Also bro, gnars it's about Action Sports Onchain, not only Skateboard. Important to say that.
Happy to continue this on Discord...not as an attack, but to better understand this and improve together.”
“INTERESTING MECHANISM FOR REWARDING THE COMMUNITY. I think it risks the investment; it's more of a gift for the community. We need to think of a way to manage it well so that the prizes stay in the hands of different people who participate and do more than just farm dollars and NFTs. I would go for it, but it seems to me that it's something that won't last more than 3 months. These types of programs attract a lot of people but few real ones. Promising less and working more should be what we offer to athletes.”
