We had a great turnout for our first brainstorming session. People across the globe participated in the discussion. As the session progressed we developed clarity on what a mission statement is and what it isn’t.
A good mission statement answers the following questions:
- Why does ENS exists?
- Who does ENS serve?
- How does it serve them?
The emerging perspective of the group is that a mission statement is more to rally the troops than a marketing slogan for future users.
With that preamble out of the way, here are a few mission statements that we came up with as group. There were about 2x more discussed, I’m choosing to highlight all the statements that had at least one +1.
-
To provide a truly unique, human-readable identity across all of web3.
-
To create the future of online identity, for everything.
-
Enable people to work, play, and organize using decentralized, censorship-resistant tools that require no permission
-
The mission of ENS is to connect identities consistently to make the internet easier and more accessible for everyone
-
Your name for the future of the internet
-
To provide complete ownership of identity as a public good for all - across the web and beyond.
-
Map human-readable names to machine-readable identifiers from across the web
-
Lead the way to an accessible web3, where everyone can easily interact with DApps, DAOs, and smart contracts.
-
The global empowerment of people, organizations, and smart contracts through continued development of a decentralized, human-readable naming standard as a global public good.
For those who weren’t able to participate, here’s your chance to add a few more options by replying to this thread.
We will also hold another session next week at a more eastern hemisphere friendly time.
