How to present projects:

  • Audience : The audience are folks who have a high level understanding of technology but are not technical experts. Assume zero knowledge of solidity.

  • User Story : Start with a user story, such as person A wanted censorship resistance storage so we invited IPFS. Then dive into the needed details.

  • Duration : Try to keep the demo / presentation to under 5 minutes

  • Request : Describe the ask early to set the context for the demo or project. Ask can be for funds, feedback problem or project, or to give the project greater awareness.

Call Minutes

A) ENS Project Highlights

ENS-CommunityGrants pod

  • @rocco introduced the SIWE ens-community server pod and started a dialogue on how they should use their budget. He would like to fund hackathons for SIWE and provide retroactive funding for individuals who have worked on projects such as the WordPress plugin for SIWE.
  • Will sync with Ecosystem stewards offline about hackathon ideas and budgetary requests.
  • SIWE is working with gnosis safe to allow for cleaner authentication

Referral Feature Added to ENS

  • Alexando Netto presented his ENS Referral project. This project was one of five winners from the first Small Grants round. - His project enables third-party websites to set a referral fee for minting names on their front-end outside of the official ENS App. Additionally, this implements a bulk registration feature. A Medium article discusses this project at length.
  • This feature would require changes to the registrar controller if implemented.
