[Temp Check] Reimbursement for eth.limo’s Legal Fees

Summary

This proposal aims to reimburse eth.limo for ongoing legal fees related to the operation of the eth.limo/eth.link gateway services.

Background

eth.limo provides critical public goods infrastructure for ENS, powering countless dApps and dWebsites. The eth.limo team is on call 24/7/365 to ensure uptime and availability as well as providing technical support for builders and projects. Operating such infrastructure involves not only technical upkeep but also significant human and legal costs.

Recent legal requests and compliance requirements in the U.S. have resulted in substantial and unpredictable legal fees for our small team. For a more detailed background and context, please refer to our recent post:

Funding Request

Conclusion

By approving this reimbursement, ENS DAO affirms the importance of supporting eth.limo’s legal expenses so the service can continue operating a free, public ENS gateway for Ethereum-native dApps and content.
