Abstract

A space is a Space Cadet’s custom place to share what they want to share with visitors. In social media terminology, it’s equivalent to a profile. Each users’ space is accessible on nounspace.com/[username].

Note: most of the features and feature requirements in this spec are identical to the spec for Homebases. This is intentional.

Spaces are composed of the following customizable elements:

Theme

Themes determine the style and traits of the elements on a user’s space, such as fonts, colors, and music. Users can create, share, and copy themes.

Tabs

Tabs enable users to expand and compartmentalize their space. Users get their first tab on their space for free, and can add additional tabs for 0.011 ETH each. Each tab can fit up to X Fidgets or 1 iframe. Tab ownership is represented by a transferrable or delegate-able NFT, and a user’s tab allowance can be utilized by tabs on either their homebase or space.

Fidgets

Fidgets are everything else. Users can select (or purchase) from a growing library of Fidgets or create their own and add them to an available spot on their space. At launch, the default fidgets on a new user’s space will include the following: Feed (of user’s casts), Suggested Follows, Suggested Channels, Balance? (set to their connected address), Gallery? (set to cycle through their full NFT collection or top NFTs), others?

Revenues

1. Nounspace will earn .011 ETH/tab from power users that want to add more than 1 tab to their space. This is particularly valuable for users or communities who want to either embed their website, application, or relevant websites (ie. forum or governance) in an iFrame and/or configure Fidgets to share something with their audience directly from their space (ie. a calendar of upcoming events or a feed of podcasts)
2. Nounspace Community Treasury will earn 20% of the sales revenues of any paid Fidgets, whether up-front, subscription, or in-app purchase. Nounspace will follow the same guidelines that Apple and Google have defined to determine which offerings are subject to commissions and which are exempt. Proceeds will be allocated by the community to initiatives that the community believes will increase the value of the Treasury and/or SPACE.

Designs

Space customization UX will be the same as Homebase customization UX (rough concept)
