ENS DAO Delegate Applications

ENS name: worse1.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I see ENS becoming much more than it already is and would love to play a role in governance and community contribution. I have educated people across various social media platforms on why ENS is so important, and have also grew up with a web2 developer for a Father. I’ve been involved in DNS and web development for most of my professional life and recently got into Ethereum development in 2019

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree - As long as we stick to an outlined goal for increasing or reducing fees of extension, I believe we can maintain a fair governance and give equal opportunity to new registers and long time holders.

  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree - I agree that fees act as a crowd fund for the DAO and helps improve the network. Fees also deter speculative investors and hoarders of ENS names which helps promote fair ownership of ENS.

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree - Funds should be allocated to community wallet and votes should be taken to ensure priority usage. Funding projects (or giving grants to start ups) unrelated to ENS should be allowed, as they can help advance Web3 as a whole. Development of the network and community ideas should be acted upon first.

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Somewhat disagree - "ENS governance should grant control of a top-level domain to its owner in the DNS system on request."

I don’t really agree with this statement but I get the point behind it as long as we remain community driven and decentralized.

My web3 qualifications / skills:

My name is Worse. I have simple Solidity and JS development skills. I moderate a few discord channels and subreddits. I’ve been involved in the crypto space since 2016 and have taken advanced learning classes on blockchain since 2020. I also am an Electrician but have started to pursue a Web3 career instead.

I’m a community member, a dog daddy, and a passionate learner. Thank you for reading.
