Delegation Incentives Program, Round 1 Distribution
Safe: main.mg.wg.ens.eth (0x91c3…d39b)
Nonces: 240, 241, 242
Txn Executed: 8 August 2026
What Txn Accomplished:
- Paid Round 1 of the Delegation Incentives Program. Total: 5,000 ENS.
- 734 ENS transfers to delegates and delegators.
- The program is a 90-day pilot approved by Snapshot vote at [6.31] and funded onchain by [6.47], which transferred 90,000 ENS and 5 ETH from the Timelock to this Safe. Round 1 is the first of three monthly distributions.
- Rewards are paid to both active delegates and the accounts delegating to them, with the intent of moving voting power away from idle wallets.
- Distribution is claimless: recipients are sent ENS directly.
- Stewards execute the distribution but do not set the recipient list or the amounts; the parameters come from the program’s calculation over onchain delegation data. Verify the data here.
| Nonce | Transfer Count | ENS Sent |
|---|---|---|
| 240 | 250 | 1,825.35 |
| 241 | 250 | 1,434.89 |
| 242 | 234 | 1,739.77 |
| Total | 734 | 5,000 |
The three batches are one distribution. Recipients were sorted by address and sliced 250 / 250 / 234.
Payouts range from 1 to 250 ENS, median 1.7351, mean 6.8120. No payout falls below 1 ENS, consistent with the program’s 1 ENS floor and the lottery that consolidates sub-1 ENS entitlements into whole payouts.
