Proposals
Proposals are how changes are made to the DAO’s status quo. They can be submitted by anyone meeting the required $ENS thresholds and are voted on by delegates based on their token holdings. If a proposal reaches quorum and passes, it is ratified and implemented.
Proposal Thresholds:
- 10k ENS: Required for a social proposal — an agreement of the DAO on matters that cannot be enforced on-chain.
- 100k ENS: Required for an executable proposal — involves smart contract operations executed by DAO-controlled accounts.
Proposal Bulletin
Regularly check the Proposal Bulletin for updates and detailed information on each proposal. For detailed governance information, refer to the Governance Documentation.

Getting Work Done
Requests for Proposal (RFPs) are calls for contributors to perform tasks in exchange for DAO compensation. An overview of the RFP process is outlined as follows:
- Anyone who identifies a need can write and post an RFP on the forum.
- RFPs are managed by the Meta-Governance Working Group.
- Formal assignment and compensation arrangements are mediated by the RFP.
- RFPs that necessitate a change to the status quo will move to a DAO-wide vote.
To view the process at length, please refer to the ENS DAO Governance Documentation.
