ENS DAO Delegate Applications

💬 General Discussion
#977

ENS name: TheWolfofNft.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I want to explore the possibilities of ENS even more and the work team has done is amazing. I want to support the Core Ethos of ENS which is Decentralisation. I want to be a part of this historical community that puts everything aside to be the Public Good of the Web3.0 and provide us all with decentralised identities. I want to be a delegate to Experience DAO firsthand, as this would be my first DAO and I always wanted to learn more about DAOs. I will always represent Decentralisation.

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:

Studied Master of Data Science but turned into Crypto and NFT Gaming instead. Basic programming and Digital marketing skills.

#978

ENS name: benmercer.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: Strong libertarian, pro-privacy and believer in the sovereign internet. ENS is the identity protocol of the future and we need ensure it that it retains these ideals.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: (Agree/Disagree/Comment) Hard agree
    ENS users control governance, not the other way around.

  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment) Disagree
    Yes, fees are an incentive mechanism, however we’re too early in the Metaverse to start picking winners and losers even in the form of incentives.

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment) Hard Disagree
    Funds need to be allocated only to ENS/Ethereum related projects – “other public goods” opens up the coffers to potential politically motivated causes that are outside the scope of ENS and the mission of sovereign identity.

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment) Disagree
    We need to build ENS from the ground-up, there are too many entrenched powers in traditional DNS that would extend their influence into ENS if given the red carpet. Additionally, this is not a big enough of an issue to be included in the ENS Constitution.

My web3 qualifications / skills:
Fundamental technical understanding of cryptography
Solidity > memes

#981

ENS name: etzmail.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: ENS is a critical infrastructure for Ethereum and web3. As a delegate I pledge to support the long term maintenance and further development of this infrastructure.

**My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution **

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:
I have been involved in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2017. I am coming from a specific angle to this field not as a developer, but active practitioner and project developer. I am a strong believer that web3 can help us create more fair, open and inclusive global infrastructures for science, education and global collaboration. I have been involved in the blockchain for science movement from its early beginnings, that now is increasingly called DeSci. In 2017 I discovered the AKASHA Project and spoke with the team about the potential of decentralised social media as a key component of a future way of science communication. Since 2018 I am working with the AKASHA team in product development and research. Currently I am working with the AKASHA team on ethereum world, a decentralised social media framework that also integrates with ENS:
https://akasha.ethereum.world/

I am also developing sciencefund a web3 based public goods funding initiative for basic scientific research that emerged out of Kernel Block 4.

#984

ENS name: joriab.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I think ENS are maybe the biggest thing on crypto until now. This could become the default identity provider worldwide and so on can become the foundation for a real self sovereign identity. Data is the most valuable asset worldwide and Self Sovereign Identity is the key to redistributing this wealth to the real owners, the data producers.

Crypto, DeFi, DAO´s, NFT´s, etc., are only tools to change the world for the better. Technology itself can be used for good or for bad, that’s why I am always pointing out the good use of these technologies to focus development on solving the real problems that we have in the world nowadays. Since ENS are so important I want to contribute to make sure it will be used for good.

My view on each section of the [proposed ENS Constitution ](Proposed ENS Constitution 24)

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)- Agree
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)- Agree
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)- Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment) - Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills: I was already building a DEFI protocol much earlier than DEFI was the definition for crypto financial protocols. Most importantly, I have shown my deep commitment for a better world.

EthicHub is more than a DeFi protocol operational since june 2018, it may also be the most innovative solution to connect DeFi to the real world, contributing to solve the biggest dysfunction of the traditional financial system: having excluded almost a quarter of the world’s population.

#985

ENS name: she256.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
she256 started almost 4 years ago, with the mission to increase diversity in the crypto space. We fundamentally believe that blockchain technology will shape our future financial and governance structures, and as such it’s crucial that those building these systems are representative of the global, diverse population which they intend to serve.

We are active users of ENS’s core product, and are huge believers of how it unlocks exponential potential for decentralized identity and on-chain reputation. We hope that by delegating your votes to us, we are able to reflect our values, and our community’s mission, to the broader ENS community.

We believe we can be neutral governance participants who will represent the interests of our communities of allies, and underrepresented folks in crypto. By delegating to us, you’ll be an ally to our cause. Thank you!

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree

#987

ENS name: verifyAT.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
We will work hard to help promote and secure the success and growth of web3 as the future of ledger networking, on open, user owned, public goods protocols.

For this reason, protocols need delegates who believe in the merits of the system and its goals, who have the capacity to be involved, and who have the understanding of process and governance to carry the responsibility of those delegated votes.

We represent the overall goals of the ENS system on the basis of its principles rather than any short-term agenda that may be pursued by hostile network takeovers.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution 7

• Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agreed.

Everyone should have the right to buy and use an ENS name and there should not be restrictions ever enacted upon the use and exercise of that domain name, nor any changes that target specific holders. The only exceptions I could see existing would be in the case of anything that creates a risk to the system or stalls the growth of the platform.

• Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Disagree.

While we agree that the primary goal of registrations fees is as an incentive, and that ENS should strictly be a non-profit public good, I do not think that such a harsh stance on income fees should be taken. A critical component of web3 infrastructure the DAO should not simply have the bare minimal revenue to maintain funding, but needs to have sufficient reserve capital for unseen and unexpected circumstances, as well as to remain competitive in attracting and retaining critical talent.

• Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree.

The Sustainability of ENS funds are wholly public goods. They should used to scale the infrastructure and key integrations may be merited when it encourages the adoption of ENS or helps preserve the health, security or longevity of the protocol. In any such case, the specific spending of those funds must solely be allocated to endeavors that represent and reinforce the values of ENS, should be publicly auditable

• ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree.

This is a critical long term component for the broader adoption of the .eth namespace and for web3 in general and that ENS is a valuable asset in the global namespace. We also agree with the view that ENS should not create new namespaces unless granted by DNS naming authorities. However, ENS should directly pursue this authority.

My qualifications / skills:

• I’m a professional python developer who is enthusiastic about Web3, with basic skills in Solidity.
• Experience in Ethereum Dapps policy and Crypto Eco lobbying.

#991

ENS name: angelfish.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

If ENS is to achieve universal adoption, it must be magnitudes cheaper to register a name and use (e.g. to set your reverse record).

To facilitate a fast and safe transition of ENS to Layer 2 and other scaling solutions, ENS DAO needs a delegate that is deeply knowledgeable about not only the mechanics but also the security and decentralization guarantees of the myriad of different scaling and bridge solutions. And secondly, a delegate that possesses the writing skills to clearly communicate the risks and progress of the scaling effort.

My capacity to do both is demonstrated through my role as Product and Ecosystem Lead at Matter Labs, the team building the first EVM-Compatible ZK Rollup: zkSync, and my skills can be verified in the section below.

As projects that seek to extend the Ethereum ethos of fairness, inclusion, and resilience, ENS and Matter Labs share substantial value alignment in our commitment to open source and community ownership.
