1. ENS core updates

@gregskril (ENS | Twitter)

  • Front end support is on hold until thegraph supports Sepolia.
  • Github: ens-contracts/deployments/sepolia/

Paris Highlights

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

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.

6. ENS Referrals

Due to time constraints, this item has been rescheduled for next week.

7. Review any upcoming events with ENS involvement

There are no immediate events.

8. Budget Q3/Q4 Ecosystem

Due to time constraints, this item has been rescheduled for next week.

  • Q3/Q4 2023 Budget: ENS Ecosystem Working Group
    • Note: Ecosystem Working Group multisigs have sufficient balances to cover planned expenditures. The Ecosystem Working Group will not request funding for Q3 of 2023.
    • The forum post lays out how we believe the budget will be spent.

9. ENS Ecosystem Working Group Grants

  • Ecosystem WG distributes larger grants on a rolling basis.
    • You can apply anytime with this deform. The evaluation process takes ~4 weeks, and unsuccessful applications can also reapply in future.

10. Open space for additional topics

None.
