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.

A) Discuss DM3
DM3 is a messaging platform that, “allows you to easily write and sign an encrypted message to another ENS domain owner, such as alice.eth, without having any single point of failure.”
- Q: What is DM3 looking for?
A: The team has been heads down building out dm3 and the key ask is feedback on the project. @hai-ko.eth has been very receptive to feedback and I encourage everyone to continue to provide their perspectives.- Q: Will adoption be hampered by the current design?
A: As of August 2022, there are ~200 million addresses[1] with some activity. ENS has ~400 thousand primary owners. Though the protocol outlined above can handle wallet-to-wallet communication for non-ens address it depends on an alternative delivery services. A concern is the splitting and siloing of the data as result of multiple delivery services.
Above questions adapted from summary posted in DM3 thread.
- Attendees express concern that the DAO should be careful to consider any one protocol to pursue this work; ENS should focus on being involved with projects that have maximum applicability to users.
- @hai-ko.eth affirmed that they want to audit the DM3 platform to ensure it is as secure as possible and stated "This project is supposed to help all of web three and is being built for the web3 community. "
