Governance Interface for ENS DAO

[blockful]

New ENS Governance Frontend + Revenue Dashboard

We’re sharing a new ENS governance frontend built by Blockful:

https://ens.gov.blockful.io/

Most of these governance features were already available inside ENS DAO Governance Security | Risk Dashboard - Anticapture, but there they lived together with broader governance security data focused on monitoring, risk analysis, and capture prevention, as is Anticapture’s goal. They were also in a visual language specific to Anticapture’s brand, and are now adapted to the ENS brand.

This new frontend separates the ENS governance experience into its own interface, focused on making DAO information easier to access, understand, and use.

The goal is to make ENS governance more navigable for delegates, token holders, service providers, and community members.

We’re also announcing the new Revenue section.

This is the main new feature in this release, bringing ENS protocol revenue, registrations, renewals, retention, expirations, and related activity closer to governance.

That matters because funding discussions, service provider evaluation, growth priorities, and long-term DAO planning all benefit from better visibility into the protocol’s economic layer.

This also matters in the context of Tally sunsetting.

ENS should preserve reliable community access to governance actions, including proposal review, delegation, and voting, without depending on a single external frontend.

We are ready to work with ENS Labs and the DAO to move this interface to an official ENS DAO domain, making access simpler and more trusted for users.

This was built as an overdelivery on Blockful’s SPP stream, based on feedback and needs heard across the forum and Meta-Gov calls.

Anticapture remains focused on governance security.

This frontend is focused on ENS governance usability.

Feedback is welcome.

This looks really useful - thank you! The revnue dashboard would be more useful, I think, if it showed something like the equivalent annual run rate for the last quarter (in revenue terms) rather than the headline figure being the all-time revenue, which is an impressive figure but not terribly useful for daily planning.

Awesome work. Having a single hub for DAO navigability is a huge value add — without the necessary context, however, a newcomer or preoccupied delegate may not immediately latch onto what is currently moving in the DAO.

Delegates need to know:

• Momentum — what’s moving right now across governance
• Sequence — how the current vote is part of a chain (what led here, what it unlocks next)
• Salience — why this deserves delegate attention now vs. other live items

—

We’ve been building around this layer with Pulse and The Signal.

The former helps surface momentum with live governance and protocol signals plus a rolling ticker stream surfaced from the Editorial System, and the latter helps with sequence and salience by compressing scattered forum and social updates into a coherent narrative delegates can scan before voting.

These layers are complementary: Blockful’s interface strengthens the action surface, while ours strengthens the context surface.

Would love to collaborate to combine both so delegates can move from “what can I vote on?” to “what matters most right now and why?” — which should materially improve decision quality across the DAO.

Thanks for the suggestion, we agree that this way it would be more useful, and have applied the change

Would love to explore what that could be like.

I am not sure “what matter most right now” in voting terms is really that hard to see given we rarely have multiple props at once, so normally “what can I vote right now” is already “what matters the most right now”. I see that a governance platform giving supporting data to facilitate creating one’s own perspective over those topics is the goal here.

For the 3 things you pointed as necessary to know, I think “Sequence” is what’s missing the most here and if Pulse could help with that, it’d be great. Anyway, will DM to explore more

Let’s do it fren. Just dm’d you.
