1. ENS core updates

@gregskril (ENS | Twitter)

June Monthly Update

• Read the June update from ENS Labs front end team.

Sepolia

• Improving support for Sepolia by deploying more contracts & verifying exising ones.
• Front end support is on hold until thegraph supports Sepolia.
• Github: ens-contracts/deployments/sepolia/
  

Paris Highlights

• Last two weeks have been EthCC & side events:
  • ENS Booth: with ENS Cards, lanyards & POAPs. It was a big success, and we hope to bring it to more events. See the booth & Card stats
  • Dev side: Makoto gave a talk about ENS for multichain to a full house of listeners. The numbers & general interest at EthCC are healthy signals that everyone loves ENS.
  • ENS EthCC Paris Event: If let in by the ENS DAO Steward & Bouncer, you enjoyed an irl evening among frENS, builders, and ENS partners. Those who attended & signed up via luma also received a special ENS POAP.

Insight into what goes on at these types of events

• A big part of these events are productive meetings between Labs and other people.
• It’s important for us to be at these events among new & old integrations partners, infrastructure providers, and to understand where the general ecosystem is going.
  • One of many examples comes from ETHDenver; where a conversation about ENS at the ENS Booth, led to connecting with an individual who later turned out to be from PancakeSwap. This then turned into telegram conversations, and is partially the reason that they implemented ENS.
  • These things happen many times, and integrations & partnerships comes out of most events. They take time before the fruits of these relationships become known.

ENS DAO Notifications

• Setting up telegram group that sends out a notification anytime there’s an executable proposal.
  • This notification service is useful for catching unscheduled or missed proposals, and is also in response to feedback from delegates on reliable ways to be informed.
  • The channel is notifcaiton only and does not show who joins.
  • Follow ENS_DAO twitter for an announcement.

Integrations

• Farcaster ENS usernames are now live
• Gnosis pay was announed at EthCC, along with Non-custodial crypto debit card that lets you have your ENS name on the card.

---

2. Small grants for this term

• Small Grants are moving to a new quarterly cadence.
  • The change follows successful models like Gitoin Grants. Dates will sync with Public Goods WG small grants which are also oving to quarterly.

---

3. ENS invalid name refund proposal

@matoken.eth (ENS | Twitter) & @gregskril (ENS | Twitter)
ENS invalid name refund proposal

• ENS invalid name refund proposal is a MetaGov item, being shared across all Working Groups for additional exposure.
  • During MetaGov WG (Tuesday 25th July), discussion and in-call vote was carried out based on the two options.
• Information on two options and their refund amounts & conditions are found in this post and thread.
  • Distribution logic for either option is yet to be determined and still requires further work if the distribution method is for a claim rather than an airdrop. There is a potential to save gas and ETH with the claim option.
  • An executable vote will be pushed to the August or September voting window to allow time to confirm amount and distribution method.
• On the Ecosystem WG call, another informal vote was carried out.

---

4. 1 and 2 Character .eth Names

Context: 1 and 2 Character .eth Names forum thread is a discussion - there is no intention to progress this in the foreseeable future.

• Following the release of namewrapper and it’s new useability, from a technical standpoint these types of discussions make sense to revisit.
  • The forum is a valuable discussion place where we can capture & pick up later the many thoughtful replies & views of community as topics are revisited.
• Reiterating: that nothing is going to happen fast, and to move forward requires consensus and multiple steps to progress.
• Head over to the discuss.ens.domains to read up & share any thoughtful input.

Further discussion:

• @clowes.eth asked if any entity had approached asking about 1&2 character names.
  • @matoken.eth recalled there may have been one in the past - highlighting possible use case examples that further ENS integration, incl: nick.eth’s example: “for instance op.eth could be registered and used to issue names directly on optimism”.

---

5. Project Highlights

1. Project Highlights

@hidayath.eth (ENS | Twitter)
from (1w3.io ENS | Twitter)

• Hidayath gave a demo of recent updates & improvements:
  • ‘Template Marketplace’ is where community-created designs are turned into NFTs (erc1155), enabling other users to build websites using these templates.
    • Users can monetise websites built on the platform by setting a price & supply size to templates, and make these available on Opensea (Matic Network).
  • 1w3 has also updated their modules to enable audio, video, PDF files, and image galleries to the website design.
  • Additionally 1w3 platform is now open to everyone (with the access code requirement recently removed).
• Platform updates, including template marketplace, are intended as additional utility to drive adoption of how people use content hashes & ENS names.
  • User adoption has been positive, with ~700 sign-ups, ~800 websites built, and 200+ ENS names connected.
• Hid is seeking community feedback on choosing the appropriate blockchain for NFT deployment - Polygon or Optimism.
  • Those on the call expressed favour towards Optimism.

---

2. Review ens.canny.io

• Canny is a feedback platform for feature requests, integrations, and bug reports.
  • note: sensitive bug reports should be sent via email.
• Users can submit and upvote items.
• This aims to provide more visibility to feedback.
• Read the forum post: Share Feedback and Feature Requests related to ENS

---

3. ENS Referrals

@lightwalker.eth (ENS | Twitter)

• Light walker discussed Affiliate Programs & ideas for ENS.
  • An affiliate program would incentivise individuals or entities to promote ENS and drive more registrations and renewals.
  • Programs encourage content creators, projects, and services (e.g. Rainbow wallet, EnsVision, EnsFairy) to participate and contribute to growth.
  • Programs attract more creatives to produce content and tools that educate and lead to new users to register and renew ENS names.
  • Affiliate programs can create a cycle of everyone benefiting. With revenue going to those who produce effective content and tools.
  • With tracking, we can capture those projects not visible in the onboarding process, give them voices, and foster new talent & innovation being attracted to ENS.
• The program should be designed in a way that is completely permissionless, allowing anyone to apply and become an affiliate without the need for a review process.
  • There should not be added costs to customers, and No additional gas fees.
  • Ensure design is decentralised and onchain is a key aspect.
  • Proposal suggests using subdomains as affiliate IDs and tracking onchain using subgraph to calculate rewards.
  • Having monthly automated payout scripts or decentralised mechanisms for commission settlements.
• Further discussions and feedback from the community is needed to refine and address technical and economic aspects of the program.
  • Drop your feedback about this proposal: ENS Affiliate proposal feedback
  • The suggestion of scheduling a separate meeting with interested participants to dive deeper into the topic and present the proposal in detail is considered valuable.
• @alextnetto.eth shared about the AAVE Referral Program.
• Additional resources:
  • ENSIP14 dashboard on dune
  • ENSIP14 Proposal: Double ENS Integration Incentives
  • Proposal to replace ENS14
  • Discussion 1: ENS Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate Program
  • Discussion 2: Apps Registering ENS names

---

4. Security advisory: A malicious DAO update could reduce the registration duration of registered .eth 2LDs

• Read the forum post by Nick.eth – Security advisory: A malicious DAO update could reduce the registration duration of registered .eth 2LDs
• The advisory discloses two bugs:
  • One related to appointing a registrar controller which reduces domain name expiry by 90 days (and the ability to repeat this).
  • The other related to being able to change ownership of any name that can be wrapped.
• A bug bounty of 100k USDC has been paid for identifying this vulnerability.
  • The risk of exploit occurring is limited, and the code for a solution is already written.
  • Bug bounties are essential for encouraging disclosure of vulnerabilities, and the amount paid is considered reasonable given the potential impact of the vulnerability.
  • Read more about the ENS Bug Bounty Program.
