Ecosystem Meeting - April 27th, 2023

Notes

Gitcoin Grants

  • We had 48 projects apply the ENS gitcoin grants beta round
  • Consider donating to the ENS Gitcoin Grants Beta Round. This is an amazing way to support ENS projects and maximize your impact with fund matching. Link: ENS Ecosystem Round
  • Donation period will close on May 9th

Project highlights

Fileverse | Andreas

  • Fileverse is a decentralized alternative to Notion & Gsuite tools.
  • The UI is stored on IPFS, chat is end-to-end encrypted, and access is filtered at the address level. This means no email or kyc is needed to collaborate and access can be token gated or whitelisted
  • Donate via gitcoin

Unruggable Subname Rentals | @Premm.eth and @clowes.eth

  • Premm and Thomas are looking to make changes around 3 current limitations of subname rentals

    1. There is a single parent level “renewal controller”
    2. Subname’s in the name wrapper can be hard to verify as “unruggable”
    3. Burning the fuse of a wrapped domain carries a high degree of risk for the parent domain holder
  • The project introduces the idea of a renewal controller that manages the price of renewals. An indepedent 3rd party in this case could control the price of renewals and prevent price hikes on current subname holders

  • Donate via gitcoin

Review any upcoming events with ENS involvement

:tada: Birthday Party :tada:

  • ENS turns 6 years old on May 4th, @alisha.eth shared further details on ENS’s birthday party that remain a secret to those outside the ecosystem meetings. However, it is recomended you have your primary name and profile picture set on your domain.
  • Stay tuned to the ENS Twitter account for details.

ENS core updates

  • Next weeks Ecosystem meeting will likely be moved from the traditional Thursday 12:00 pm Eastern time to Wednesday May 3 @ 12:00 pm Eastern time to account for the ENS birthday party.
  • The smart contract audit for Gasless DNS domain imports is almost complete
