Executable Proposals:
- [Executable] Endowment permissions to karpatkey - Update #6
This proposal introduces updated permissions for the Endowment, with a continued focus on diversification and alignment with the evolving market landscape and liquidity. - [Executable] Reimbursement for eth.limo’s Legal Fees
This proposal seeks to reimburse eth.limo 109,818.82 USDC from the ENS DAO treasury to cover ongoing legal fees incurred in operating the eth.limo/eth.link gateway services, ensuring continued reliable access to ENS-powered infrastructure. - [Executable] Set Primary Names for Core DAO Addresses
This proposal sets primary names for core DAO addresses, including the DAO wallet, the token contract, and the Endowment wallet. By setting reverse records for these core addresses, ENS DAO demonstrates best practices by fully using its own protocol—making contracts easier to identify and navigate, and enabling names to resolve on sites that list contracts, such as enswallets.xyz. - [Executable] ENS Contract Naming Season
This proposal launches ENS Contract Naming Season, a six-month program led by ENScribe and the Temporary Contract Naming Pod—with a $75,000 USDC and 10,000 ENS budget—to incentivize and coordinate the adoption of ENS contract naming across major protocols, DAOs, and infrastructure projects through outreach, leaderboards, and naming incentives.
