Notes by @daylon.eth

Notes

A) General DAO update
The executable budget vote was passed on Tally. There will be a two day timelock and then the proposal will be executed and funds will be transferred on chain.

B) Proposal to sell 10k ETH (Updates on result)
This proposal vote also passed on Tally and is now queued to be executed. Thank you to all that voted.

C) Endowment proposal from Karpatkey (Update on next steps)
Karpatkey posted an FAQ on the forum:
Endowment Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We collected all of the questions and tried to answer them in one file. We are open to answering more questions if there are any.

Next steps from Karpatkey:
Next step is to create an executable proposal.
Started to draft the executable proposal and shared with stewards for first review.

Fees will be accrued once the service is provided.

Q+A

Katherine:
I still wanted to clarify something from the performance fee. Where does the 10% performance fee that Karpatkey is taking coming from? I do not understand how performance fees come from unrealized gains.

Nick:
It’s like interest in a savings account. You don’t have to withdraw it to know your realized interest.

Like a dividend fee?

Katherine:

So, taking the 10% of the top of any LP fees.

Santinomics:

Yes.

We will ask for a 50% tranch to kick off endowment. Next tranch will be asked for after six months. We believe this will be the most reasonable tradeoff after our discussion.

We are planning to post the executable proposal later today.

D) Reserved for Open Discussion
CoW Swap was recently exploited. Will this effect our proposal to sell ETH for USDC?

Nick:
I have reviewed the issue personally and there is no need to worry. The exploit will not effect any users of the platform.

A) General DAO update

None.

B) Proposal to sell 10k ETH update
The execution went smoothly and can be observed on CoW Explorer or directly on Etherscan.

C) Endowment Update (Karpatkey)
Santinomics:
We have posted an executable proposal draft to forum.
There is also an Endowment FAQ posted to the forum.

We are waiting for the community to align/provide feedback, and we will take it to an on-chain vote.

We made changes to the proposal based on feedback we have received. We are hoping to take it to an on-chain vote shortly. We are ready to move forward!

Prior to on-chain voting, we need to transfer ownership to the ENS DAO. This can be done easily with one transaction.

Nick is planning to conduct an audit today. Hopefully should take one day, assuming there are no significant issues. Once this is done, the proposal is ready to go to a vote.

D) Reserved for Open Discussion

None.

A) General DAO update

basics.ensdao.org - A new, consolidated resource for ENS information. Feedback is welcomed.

B) Endowment Update (Karpatkey)

Nick has been auditing endowment multisig and zodiac modifiers and has been successful in about 95% of tests. There is one contract that is not represented correctly in the current UI. Found a couple of minor issues, mostly UI. Nothing concerning. All allowances were audited via revoke.cash.

All that is left after the audit is complete it to transfer ownership of the safe to the DAO.

C) Reserved for Open Discussion

We would like to see a refinement of the proposal process. If anyone is interested in working on that, constructive efforts could qualify for grant funding to support the development.

Santinomics:
After analysing internal structure, we intend to provide weekly reports until we migrate to a live dashboard. However, once per month we will provide a post on the forum with more infomation.

Reports will cover metrics, APR, farming funds, information of interest, endowment highlights, etc.

First report should be available very soon.

  • Observation/ thoughts after this weekend re: emergencies/ risks

Karparkey closely monitored the USDC situation. Recommendation was to do nothing, but had an emergency plan in place should we need to act.

Part of the endowment strategy is to swap earned ETH to stablecoins. Started last week but have decided to take slowly.

So far have conducted one swap - 1000 ETH to USDC and deposited to Compound.

–

C) DAO Tooling

  • Automation of DAO voting processes

Further discussion needs to take place.
What are the things we are trying to solve? What are we trying to automate? Is this something we should start working on now, or can it wait? Will return to this topic next week.

Re: refunding delegation and voting costs

2. Endowment Updates + Presentation

  • Monthly Report (@Steakhouse)
    • Fully open source, emphasis on transparency
    • Report contains balance sheet, income statement, endowment assets under management, profit and loss.
    • The report assumes that all forms of Ether are the same as staked Ether.

Q [Katherine]: Where are you getting the data from?
A: It all comes from Dune, which tracks events occuring on the Ethereum network. It is gathered by using a complex, custom-built query. In the future, we will simplify the structure of the query. We will also have a simpler output available on Dune.

Q: Are figures denominated in USD?
A: The figures are denominated in USDC for stablecoin section, and denominated in Ether for ETH section. The prices we use are at the end of every day.

Any feedback / questions welcome.

  • Weekly Report (@karpatkey)
    • Currently nearly $32 million for endowment.
    • Following through with regular ETH swaps until the target composition of 40% stablecoins and 60% Ether is reached.

Q: Does the Shanghai update effect the endowment? [withdrawals enabled for staked ETH deposits]
A: We expect that fees may go down and are monitoring the market. We think this will bring more liquidity to the staking positions.

  • Endowment Fees
    • A separate pod was created for payout of endowment performance fees.

Muhammed:

  • Working on a contract that enables delegation of voting power to multiple delegates.

Section 1 - General DAO Updates

Section 2 - Endowment updates.

  • Was mentioned that Karpatkey are building out general balance sheet reporting for ENS, and not just endowment.
  • Santinomics mentioned that they wish to move compound strategy from v2 to v3. To do this would require tally vote and a larger process of engagement. Suggesting that they have 8-9 other items that they could bundle into proposal to whitelist actions for future.
    This approach was supported, with a draft that will go to nick before they put it forward formally.
    Further noted that if something is controversial or urgent it is better that it be separated from the bundle.
  • Santinomics ran through the weekly Report. (Endowment Weekly Reports - #9 by karpatkey)
  • Sebastien ran through the monthly report. (ENS Financial Reporting by Steakhouse - #9 by Steakhouse)

Section 3 - Reserve for Open Discussion

  • Foundation director onboarding still in progress. KYC checks in proress.

2. Endowment updates + Presentations

3. Tally.xyz - Delegation Week (May 22 - May 26)

  • Rafael Solari from tally shared about Delegation Week
    • Delegation week is an ecosystem wide initiative organised by tally + other DAOs + DAO tools. We want delegation week to be an event that takes place periodically, where people check on their delegation, and delagates share campaign for delegation.
    • Delegates can update their records via tally.xyz/delegation-week
  • Delegates encouraged to update their delegate profiles e.g:
    - Who you are
    - What you are doing in ENS
    - What do you care about / what do you stand for
    - What plans you might have
  • This open inititaive is an opportunity:
    • to remind other delegates of what is happening
    • for governance token holders to check on their delegate
    • for new delegates to share themselves

Metagov has sponsored 5k towards gasless delegation.

  • If you hold 10 or more $ENS Goverance tokens you are eligible for gasless (i.e. free) delegation on tally.xyz during delegation week (May 22 - May 26). Tally | ENS
    (Reminder that gasless redelegation continues on https://delegate.ens.domains/ for 50+ Governance token holders.)

4. Open Discussion

  • ENSify won $2,500 for the ‘Kind Reminder’ bounty for the Aragon DAO Global Hackathon 2023.
    • “Kind Reminder Bounty: Notifying interested parties about governance proposals or working group meetings can be a tedious task. With the governance community spread across Twitter, email, and Telegram it would be great to give people the option to get reminders where they prefer. Not everyone hangs out in governance forums to stay up to date with notifications”
    • Alisha will look to implement ENSify IRL with Greg over the next few weeks.
  • Discussion around stream contracts (e.g. sablier.finance) for use in working groups, to stream steward payments, which are set at the start of the Term in the funding request.
