ENS DAO Delegate Applications

šŸ’¬ General Discussion
#804

ENS name: nicolo.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

I truly believe in the power of identity in the Web3 ecosystem and the role it will increasingly continue to play as the space comes further into the mainstream.
The social capital we each hold in our online presence will start to be valued and leveraged more and more in the next generation of Web3 apps, and ENS is really well positioned to be the epicentre and point of connection of that digital and decentralized identity.

ENS provides a decentralized identity layer for the Ethereum network with sizeable network effects both in terms of the number of integrations and community of builders always discovering new ways to take advantage of their ENS handles and expand the use cases.

I am an avid user of my ENS name (I have it as my Twitter display name and I often wear a hoodie with my ENS name - shown below :grin:).
I would love to play a more active role in the governance of the ENS community and see it flourish as a fundamental building block for the coming Web3 world.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution:

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree
  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:
Iā€™ve been working in the crypto-space in various capacities since early 2016 where I ran a popular crypto research startup and also spent a bit of time working in various TradFi institutions in IB and doing growth at SaaS startups after my academic background in Economics.

I now lead strategy over at the Aave Companies, where we have recently been spending a lot of time building a set of powerful and flexible protocols not just for the current DeFi space but to act as whole new building blocks for the Web3 world.

In my spare time I spend a lot of time involved in various DAOs, Iā€™m an avid JPEG enjoyer (both in collecting and minting) and I spend a lot of time thinking and brainstorming about the future of Web3 and how we can push the space forward!

ENS name: tobias.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I am a strong believer in this project, and I will do what I can to make ENS the global naming stander of web3. I really like that ENS is a non-profit project and are building a naming standard for the long term future, unlike other naming services that just are made for cash grabs. I think ENS is going to have a bigger impact on web3 than we can imaging right now. DNS is mostly used by businesses who want a website, but I think ENS is going to be used by almost everyone in the world. Normal people are going to have their own ENS for username, businesses are going to have it for their websites and its going to be used for purposes we canā€™t see yet. I am really excited for this adoption and would love to be a delegate. I will ensure that ENS is going to be a public good for everyone and not a service that is made for profit making.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree

  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:

I am 22 year old guy studying cybernetics and robotics at NTNU in Norway at my fourth year. When I am finished studying I will definitely start working in web3. My spare time is mostly used for exploring web3 and I have been in the crypto ecosystem since early 2018. I discovered ENS for about a year ago and have been huge believer of the naming service since. I have been an advocate for ENS and recently got Pixelmap to integrate reverse resolution.
I am not as skilled as the ā€œolder guys/girlsā€ (still relatively young compared to other spaces :wink: ) that are applying for delegate, but I am an active user of web3, and have a decent understanding of different programming languages including solidity learned while studying and on my spare time. I am also a fast learner.

  • My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree

  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

Why do I want to be delegate?

  • I would like to propose .eth to be a real NFT: This is my vision:
    A month ago I suggest brantly about the possibility of adding a button when you register your domain name that make the domain name a real NFT (no expiration date). I agree with people that want to register the domain name for 1/2/3 years but Iā€™d love the idea to pay a fee to upgrade your domain name in order to not expire. This could help the impact of high gas fees for people who want to buy a .eth FOREVER

  • Integrate with NFT communities: I donā€™t believe in subdomains, but thereā€™s a chance for NFT collection that a subdomain could make sense, If a community of 10K can share same domain name would be perfect. IĀ“m an NFT investor, and I think that we can get better connection with NFT projects.
    I own some SEVEN, thatā€™s why I wait to be post 777 (also Jackpot) it was no coincidence :smiley:

  • Escrow Service: To give people the opportunity to sell their .eth domain names through our plattform. Moreover as a .com investor I know many people who would love to integrate their .com domain names in a reliable escrow platform. People could sell their domain names (.eth, .com ā€¦) through our platform.

My web3 qualifications / skills:
Iā€™ve been a domainer since 1998, and I have manage some domain names to get many traffic and now weā€™re upgrading our project to web3 development.

If you agree with my main points: Escrow Service (integrating .com ā€¦) and NonEXP .ETH with a fixed fee, I ask you to delegate on me.

ā€‹ā€‹I contribute to Other Internet research group and sit on the Board of Regen Foundation. I also write on topics related to web3, with recent essays A Prehistory of DAOs: Cooperatives, gaming guilds, and the networks to come and Inventories, Not Identities. Prior to my endeavors in web3, Iā€™ve worked as a writer, artist, editor, frontend developer, and organizer for distributed cooperatives.

ENS name: daverodman.eth

My reason for wanting to be a delegate: I am a huge proponent of ENS domains and own several dozen. I have actually bought them for all of my friends and family as birthday presents over the last year (its been a fun way to introduce them to web3 and crypto). I am very excited about the ENS DAO and I think that it couldnā€™t come at a more timely moment. I think that the ENS system will need to walk a very fine line between the competing interests of the web3 world and the reality and accountability demanded by the traditional world. I think that all moves must be very careful and extremely well thought out because the decentralized web could easily become a lighting rod for anti-decentralization forces, and I may be an outlier here, but I do think that there are real risks with truly decentralized content given how misinformation has taken root in our society. I donā€™t purport to have all the answers, but as an attorney in the space, I have spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about this issue and advising projects in the space about them. I believe that I would be able to add real value to the team when it comes to thinking about regulatory interface, whatever shape that ends up taking. Again, I am a huge supporter of this but I am a realist and realize that there are several pitfalls that could hinder adoption and that extreme care is necessary when moving things forward.
My view on each or the proposed ENS Constitution:
ā€¢ Name ownership shall not be infringed: In nearly all cases I agree, but I think that there may be outliers that are hard to deal with (basically what do we do if a name somehow causes or endorses real world harm?). I think this needs to be carefully considered. I donā€™t claim to have the right answer
ā€¢ Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree
ā€¢ Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
ā€¢ ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills: Virtually none in the classical sene. That said I am an attorney in the web3 space and have been a Kernel Mentor since Block 2. I think that the web3 space needs competent counsel and I believe that I am well qualified in this area. I believe a platform like ENS will absolutely need to consider how it interacts with real world laws.

ENS name: jalil.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

During some personal research around web3 and decentralised domain names (handshake, unstoppable domains, BTC(.)us domains), i found the ENS project to be the absolute best shot at not only a working decentralised address naming system but as the key to user-owned identity on the web.

That last bit gets me unbelievably excited for the future of the www. By utilising ENS as a protocol layer foundation to build upon (esp. custom TXT records and subdomains) we stand before an ocean of possibility to rethink and reinvent outdated or siloed services - not only for individuals, but public institutions and commercial enterprises.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution:

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree
  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree / Comment
    • If ENS finds itself in a position to extract direct value that is currently accruing to domain squatters while keeping the service accessible to all, it should do so and reinvest the resulting funds into the development of public goods.
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:

I am a software engineer / designer hybrid moving from web2 to web3.

As my introduction to the space i launched an NFT project that plays into decentralised profiles called OneDayPunks and PunkScapes with tight ENS integration and future plans for fully fleshed out web3 profiles all based on ENS txt records and subdomains (here is my current ENS-powered profile as an example: https://punkscape.xyz/cryptopunks/6820).

I open sourced composable ERC721 extensions that are built on the OpenZeppelin base contracts and are already used by various other collections: https://github.com/1001-digital/erc721-extensions.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I thought it would be good to have a few people from the industry side as Delegates. Iā€™ve been considering using ENS on cryptocompare.com but we never seem to get around working on the website. In the future I would like to be more involved and help Nick as much as possible with a project I first saw at the Ethereum London Meetup that I was organizing.

    Agree, a lot of free tools in the ETH ecosystem would do well with more funding. Itā€™s good to get funding from within the community not also VC funds.
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
    Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:
Not much on web3, I sometimes review and write smart contracts in my free time. Iā€™m the co-founder of one of the oldest and most trusted pricing aggregators in the crypto industry (CryptoCompare). Iā€™ve built a few NFTs, Iā€™ve received a lot of NFTs from people, Iā€™ve been on and off involved in ENS since early days mostly talking to Nick about ideas.
