3. Reserved for Open Discussion
DAO Tooling
- Charlie Feng and Zitong Zhang from agora.ensdao.org joined the call to discuss different ways to put forward proposals.
- Discussion & ideas included:
- Working Groups benefiting from alternative designs that do not require Nick.eth to submit proposals.
- Barriers to entry include a 100k $ENS Governance token requirement and delegation being limited to a single delegate.
- Possibility of MG WG funding DAO Tooling with Agora.
- ENS Labs has developed a Multidelegate Contract which is ready for Audit.
- Agora has split delegations in their Roadmap
- The option to post a bond instead of meeting the 100,000-token requirement.
- ENS decision to utilise openZeppelin
- Modular governor that could enable new voting methods - e.g. ‘yes, no, abstain, spam’
Auditing the Multidelegate Contract
- Nick.eth has a quote from CodeArena - 35K for an open competition with mitigation review.
- Vote on the call unanimously supported the audit.
