Hello and welcome to the Ethereum Name Service DAO Newsletter!
As always, new editions are published on the 1st and 15th of every month.
This newsletter is available on the ENS DAO Governance Forum, Substack, and Twitter.
We encourage any feedback, questions, or comments!
Additionally, the "on-chain" vote to dissolve the Community Working Group was passed and executed on Tally.
Visit the ENS Snapshot page for details regarding the most recent proposals.
For details on the ENS DAO proposal process see our Governance Docs.
Last term (Q1/Q2) the Ecosystem working group had a total budget of $50k USDC to distribute across initiatives. For Term 2 (Q3/Q4) an executable proposal was passed that will distribute $1.5m USDC to the Ecosystem working group. A significant portion of this funding will be assigned specifically to fund developers in the ENS Ecosystem.
Builders are encouraged to attend the ENS Ecosystem Working Group calls, weekly on Monday at 2PM Eastern Time to present projects for DAO support and funding consideration.
Itâs nearly time for Gitcoinâs quarterly Grants Round. The Ecosystem working group will distribute $69k (nice) in an ENS Ecosystem round as part of GR15. For more information, please see this thread by @alisha.eth
