2. Project Highlights
No projects presenting this week
3. Update on the ENS Streams: dates, rules and implementation
- Please read above post from @avsa
- @avsa will post more shortly on structure of applications
- Replying to that thread will be part of the application process
- Expectations for updating DAO if selected: Minimum expected is to provide readable update every quarter, but ideally on every/every other working group call
- Idea is not for DAO to ask for something to be built, but to tell DAO what have been building/ what dying to build and why it’s important to ENS
- Is there a niche ENS DAO isn’t thinking about/aware of? Tell us about it and why you’re the Team to build it!
- High-level ideas can be found in the Snapshot: Snapshot
- This is an opportunity for Teams to give full attention to ENS through appropriate funding and support
- This is an experiment for a year, will re-think based on feedback and effectiveness next year
- If want to build for ENS but don’t have an idea, reach out to Teams applying to join one of those Teams
- No explicit rule against submitting 2 proposals, but need to ensure this is divulged in the conflict-of-interest section of the application (along with work as a steward or work in endownment)
- Want to have broad set of providers and members of the ecosystem
