ENS DAO Delegate Applications

ENS name: neiman.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I offer myself as an ENS delegate, focusing on aspects of decentralized websites based on ENS.

I’m co-founder of Esteroids and Almonit. In the last 2 years, I dedicated my life to building a community of ENS+IPFS websites builders and users. A selected collection of my publications is available in neiman.eth.

Since ENS+IPFS websites are the center of my life, I would like to be a delegate to help ENS become the ideal naming service for the dWeb.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution:

  • I. Name ownership is an absolute right. Agree, but with an added exception! Namely, we should add an exception in the case of theft. For example, if someone abuses a hack and steals 100K ENS names.

    Such an exception should be made by a two-thirds majority and at least 5% of all tokens. This will help ENS prevent controversial moments like the arguments following The DAO hack.

  • II. Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism. Agree.

    I may add a section in the style of “ENS goal is to benefit the public” (as opposed to maximizing its revenue). Then the registration fee section is a by-product of that.

  • III. Income funds ENS and other public goods. Agree.

  • IV. ENS Integrates with the global namespace. Agree.

    It also solves the question of integration with other decentralized name services. ENS integrates with them only once they are integrated with DNS.

  • V. Amendments to this constitution by majority vote. Agree.

My web3 qualifications/skills: Co-founder of Esteroids, co-founder of Almonit.

I hold a PhD in mathematics from the Free University of Berlin.

Besides working on Esteroids and Almonit search engine, I co-developed Almonit Extension and Esteroids extension for ENS+IPFS websites. I was also involved (as a outside tester) in the development of .eth.limo.

I gave lectures about Web3 (example), and manage the Esteroids dWeb Discord,

I published many articles about ENS+IPFS websites, a selection of them can be found in neiman.eth.limo. Historically, I published one of the first guides (in Almonit blog) for building ENS+IPFS websites already in March 2019, and in May 2019 published the first list of ENS+IPFS websites.

My life is centered around ENS+IPFS websites in the last two years. I believe this makes me qualified to be an ENS delegate.
