"We want to provide users a fun, accessible, and simplified experience as a subDAO in NounsDAO," said Tessera's Deeze in a Medium article.
Tessera, formerly Fractional.art, announced a rebrand in August, to focus on creating "unique ownership experiences on a per-NFT collection basis," said founder Andy Chorlian in a message to Lucky Trader back in August.

We will not share links to surprise mints or ask you to sign transactions with your private keys. Please be diligent while interacting with the Nouns ecosystem. Thank you."
Always remember to check your sources before interacting with any links or connecting your wallet to websites.

Users are advised to refrain from interacting with any @nounsdao tweets until @punk4156 gives the final all-clear.
