Security advisory: A malicious DAO update could reduce the registration duration of registered .eth 2LDs - tempcheck social vote, intended to bring about further discussion.
Utilising Agora
- See last week’s minutes on DAO Tooling - Agora Updates.
- It’s intended to pilot the agora platform during September Voting Window.
MetaGov WG submitting proposals
- MetaGov WG pod is unable to put forward proposals. An ongoing practice has been to rely on nick.eth to submit proposals. It was raised that an allocation of tokens for the strict purpose of raising proposals may be beneficial.
- Discussion included:
- MetaGov pod receiving 100k $ENS Governance tokens to dedicated multisig.
- Utilising a governor module upgrade, which would allow for staking.
- Risks associated with the Working Group becoming a ‘delegate’.
- Utilising the upcoming multidelegate Contract.
The Multidelegate contract
- Multidelegate contract is largely code complete.
- Whilst straightforward and thoroughly tested, it may benefit from an audit.
- There is budget remaining in current term allocated to audits.
- Nick.eth will request a quote for audit.
