Community Updates
ENS Small Grants Round: A Leap Forward in Community-Driven Innovation
The Small Grants round, which began on October 25th and concluded on October 31st, successfully attracted a diverse array of submissions aimed at enhancing the ENS ecosystem and supporting public goods within the Web3 space. The grants round saw a total distribution of 27 ETH, equivalent to roughly $50,000 USD, across 20 projects.
In an interesting development this year, the voting mechanism was overhauled from $ENS token-weighted voting to a one-person-one-vote system, facilitated by the issuance of a non-transferrable Working Group Grants Card. Between 300 and 600 of these cards were distributed to small grants participants, large delegates, active community members, and other stakeholders within the ENS community.
The top five projects in the ecosystem category, namely ENS Wayback Machine, 1W3, Namespace, NYCMobile.eth, and NameSys, shared a prize pool of 15 ETH, with awards ranging from 5 ETH to 0.7 ETH based on their ranking. The public goods category allocated a total of 13 ETH among its leading projects (Giveth, Ethereum News, dm3, Rotki, and Pairwise), also with a tiered prize structure. — 10.31.23

Ethereum Evolutions, L2 Solutions
Vitalik.eth recently published a thought piece that delves into the dynamic landscape of Ethereum’s layer 2 solutions. He highlights the rapid expansion of the layer 2 ecosystem, featuring projects like Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, Kakarot, Taiko, Celo, Linea, and Zeth, among others. This evolution has led to increasing heterogeneity within the ecosystem, driven by a variety of factors, including the gradual transition of independent layer 1 projects toward closer integration with Ethereum, the quest for enhanced security by certain centralized projects, and the unique needs of non-financial applications like games and social media. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of user fee considerations in the decision-making process, and it provides insights into the trade-offs between rollups, validiums, and other systems. Trustlessly reading Ethereum and ensuring asset security remain central challenges in this evolving landscape, where adaptability and flexibility are key to future success. — 10.31.23

ENS DAO Root-Key Transfer Proposal
Nick.eth has proposed transferring the control of the ENS root-key to the ENS DAO for enhanced decentralization, in an action that strives to grant greater power to the DAO and its community. The ENS DAO already controls the .eth registrar and related functionalities but not the core ENS root, which is governed by a multi-signature system capable of creating and managing TLDs, except for .eth which is fixed. The transfer would also facilitate updates to reverse resolutions and support for domain names on Layer 2 solutions. — 11.02.23

ENS DAO Financial Overview by avsa.eth
Avsa.eth’s reports that the ENS DAO has accrued close to $100 million, majorly from ETH/USDC transactions, with a steady income from the registrar controller amounting to roughly $30,000 daily. Expenditures amount to about $70 million, leaving $16 million in reserves, excluding ENS tokens. Significant payouts include contributions to Endaoment and a $11,500 daily allocation to ENS Labs, as per DAO proposals. Working groups’ budgets are substantial, yet they maintain considerable unspent funds, with the Ecosystem group sitting on over $600,000. The report underscores the importance of robust auditing and transparent accounting for the DAO’s funds, emphasizing the need for better tools to monitor spending and manage unspent funds effectively. — 10.24.23

Steward Compensation Framework
The Meta-Governance Working Group has developed a steward compensation structure. This new framework seeks to establish fair and transparent payment for stewards and lead stewards, addressing previous inconsistencies in compensation. A collective proposal mechanism dictates compensation norms, with no payment permitted outside of this structure.
The proposed compensation table recommends $3,000 monthly for each steward, totaling $18,000 per term, and $4,500 for leads, amounting to $13,500 per term. Additional discretionary funds are allotted based on the working group’s majority decision. Secretaries are set to receive $5,500 monthly, while scribes receive $3,000. In total, the term compensation sums up to $294,000. The group suggests all stewards accept the stipend, retaining the option to redirect it, ensuring transparency and fairness moving forward. This structure will guide current and future compensation, without retroactive changes. — 11.02.23

Large Grants Recepients Q3/Q4 (2023)
In the fourth quarter of 2023, two innovative projects, GasHawk and Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP), were announced as grant recipients. GasHawk, known for its non-custodial service that reduces transaction costs and enhances security on the Ethereum network, has been awarded a 40k USDC grant, adjusted from an initial request of 50k USDC due to budgeting constraints. The grant is milestone-contingent, promising an additional 10k USDC upon successful completion of set goals, including a browser extension and webhook functionality, both expected by Q1 2024.
Similarly, EFP, aiming to establish a social graph protocol for Ethereum accounts to enhance the web3 identity stack, received a matching grant of 40k USDC under the same conditional terms. Their deliverables include the development of EFP smart contracts and an off-chain Indexer, with progress updates scheduled for the working group calls over the next six months.

Invalid Name Refund Proposal
Matoken.eth has issued an update on the Invalid Name Refund process. An error causing a negative refund amount was identified and corrected after a reassessment of the queries. The updated data shows changes in the number of refunds and the amounts, including six individuals who are no longer eligible for a refund and three new individuals who are. Five recipients’ refunds differ by more than 0.01 ETH. A notable correction includes an address previously showing a negative refund, which will now receive 0.04748966914 ETH. The original query failed to consider the ETHRegistrarController4 and transactions within a specific date range, affecting the results. A comprehensive list of affected addresses with old and new total refunds has been provided, with significant differences highlighted. For those interested in transaction details, the updated full dataset is available for download, and queries can be run using tools like jq to examine specific addresses. The refund address list is now revised in the Google Sheet. — 11.03.23

Project Highlights
Fluidkey receives an Ecosystem Grant
Fluidkey is enhancing onchain privacy by allowing users to receive payments into stealth addresses linked to their ENS. They have developed an offchain resolver that generates a new private address each time it is queried, ensuring user custody of the addresses. Fluidkey’s interface consolidates these transactions, offering a familiar wallet management experience. The concept was successfully showcased at ETH Rome, where it garnered recognition from ENS and others. The team is currently preparing for a closed alpha release in Q4 of the current year and a public beta in Q1 of 2024, with considerable interest from the ENS community.In anticipation of its launch, interested users can join a waitlist on fluidkey.com for updates and early access. Additionally, Fluidkey has been granted 10,000 USDC by ENS Ecosystem stewards, who see Fluidkey’s innovation as a valuable addition to the privacy aspect of the ecosystem. — 10.23.23
