[5.15][Social] ENS Governor Improvement Proposal: ProposalBond
This proposal seeks to introduce a “ProposalBond” mechanism to the ENS DAO, aimed at lowering the proposal submission threshold while ensuring accountability. Under this system, proposers would submit a bond when making a proposal, and if the proposal is rejected—especially if a significant portion of the community votes “Against with penalty”—the bond would be forfeited. This change is designed to incentivize quality proposals while making the proposal process more accessible to the broader ENS community.

[EP 5.16][Executable] Reimbursement of ENS Labs’ legal fees in eth.link litigation
This proposal seeks to reimburse ENS Labs for legal expenses incurred during their litigation to protect the eth.link domain. ENS Labs successfully defended their ownership and control over this key infrastructure, which has been vital to the ENS ecosystem since 2017. The total legal costs amount to $1,218,669.76 USDC, and this proposal requests the ENS DAO treasury to cover these expenses, as previously approved in the social vote EP 5.3. The reimbursement ensures that the financial burden of this legal defense is shared by the community.
