D) Updates on Small Grants
- The ENS Small Grants rounds for the Public Goods and Ecosystem working groups are scheduled to go live on Thursday, September 15th.
- If you are unsure whether or not you should apply for Public Goods or Ecosystem round, consider this question: “Can I go to other DAOs and request funds for the same thing?”
- If the answer is “yes,” it is likely a public good.
- If “no,” it is ENS-specific and would be eligible for the ecosystem category.
- The following improvements were suggested:
- Add description for eligibility.
- Implement an edit feature that is active until voting starts.
E) Open space for additional public goods topics
WAGMI
- gregskril.eth proposed supporting the React hook library, wagmi. Behind ethersJS, wagmi is the second most used library and is foundational to Web3. It is active in GR15 but not in the ENS ecosystem round.
- Wagmi has 271k downloads per month.
- The Public Goods stewards will look into a retroactive grant for this library.
ENS Punks Onboarding Athletes
- ENS Punks has onboarded the Pro MMA fighter, Gamebred and Abraham Kawa .
- He wants to host a Twitter space with more athletes to onboard more professional MMA and footballers to ENS and Web3.
- Since this is specific to ENS, it was suggested that this be brought to the Ecosystem Working Group.

- Spaces are hosted Monday through Friday
