This proposal replaces vulnerable DNSSEC RSA algorithms to patch a critical signature forgery flaw affecting .cc and .name, safely re-enables those TLDs, and upgrades P-256 to the new precompile—cutting gas ~98%. It includes 7 timelock transactions updating oracle contracts and restoring secure DNS claims.
A proposal introduces a Registrar Manager to automate ENS DAO treasury flows, reducing governance overhead and boosting yield. Discussion centers on preventing fund lockups, audit costs, and endowment impact.
→ Discussion: Treasury Flow Automation
A proposal replaces the Delegate Model with a Committee Model for SPP3 funding, aiming to cut delegate fatigue and improve evaluation. Key topics include merit-based selection, compensation, conflict prevention, and a two-tier funding system.
→ Discussion: Committee Model for SPP3 Funding Allocation
ENS Domains alerts users to rising phishing emails and fake sites tied to ENSv2. The org stresses it will never request sensitive actions or name migrations via email, urging users to verify sources and stay cautious.
The ENS Explorer Alpha has launched on the Sepolia testnet, letting users access detailed onchain records for ENS names, including ownership and history.
The first edition of The Reverse Record, compiled by @saniyamore, is now available. It covers key updates and news from the ENS ecosystem, to keep the community informed about ongoing developments.
A recent discussion highlights the need for decentralized frontends in crypto protocols, ensuring user access remains available even when centralized services fail.
A new tool streamlines ENS name registration. Users can sign in with email or social accounts, find their desired name, and register it all in one click.
ETHDenver 2026 was characterized by a focus on building and collaboration. The event brought together traditional finance and crypto teams, fostering a productive atmosphere.
The January 2026 financial report by Steakhouse offers a broader perspective on ENS’s financial status, complementing monthly operational reports. Access the slides and additional resources through the provided links.
→ Discussion: Financial Reporting
A recent merge commit has optimized the ENS contract by replacing the EllipticCurve with the EIP-7951 P-256 precompile, resulting in significant gas savings. This update enhances the overall efficiency of the ENS protocol.
→ GitHub: Merge commit from fork · ensdomains/ens-contracts@c76c5ad · GitHub
A draft PR has been created for the on-chain registry-resolver documentation, emphasizing the separation of concerns with ERC-7930. Feedback is requested to facilitate timely merging after the executable for the on.eth namespace.
→ Pull Request: https://github.com/ensdomains/docs/pull/508/changes
The recent ENSIP-24 update introduces new interfaces and a mixin for arbitrary data resolution, along with improved test coverage and documentation.

The Meta-Governance Working Group provides governance oversight and support for working group operations through DAO tooling and governance initiatives.
kpk presents the January 2026 Community Update, detailing treasury activities and governance proposals. The report emphasizes the ENS token’s performance and strategic adjustments to the Endowment’s asset allocation.
→ Discussion: Endowment Monthly Reports - #38 by kpk
The governance security assessment discusses the role of governance in ENS. It emphasizes the need for flexibility and the importance of token holder rights.
→ Discussion: Governance Security Assessment - #2 by BCV
ENS Pulse is a DAO monitor aggregating protocol and governance signals into one dashboard. It streamlines prices, treasury holdings, active proposals, protocol metrics, DAO wallets, events, and security analysis—including a $13M attack cost indicator.
A new standard for attaching metadata to ENS names/subnames is in development. It defines class and schema records to expose organizational relevance and context-specific data onchain, turning ENS into a canonical data resource. A draft ENSIP is underway.

The Ecosystem Working Group strengthens the ENS Protocol by facilitating developer relations, identifying and funding high-potential projects that enhance ENS, and supporting ENS-aligned initiatives.
A new ENSIP proposes letting contracts self-declare their reverse names, streamlining registration and reducing deployer burden. The discussion suggests two naming conventions to simplify the process and improve ENS usability.

Enscribe launched a Blockscout feature adding identity info and a scoring widget for contract ENS names. Based Nouns has also joined by naming their protocol contracts, highlighting growing adoption and tooling in the ENS ecosystem.
→ Follow the naming season on ENS Forums
A recent profile showcases public on-chain data usage via ETHIDKIT, emphasizing user control and accessibility. This approach benefits various Ethereum applications.
The NIST AI Agent Standards Initiative is seeking public input, and ENS has the opportunity to define a foundational layer for AI agent identity. Community discussions are underway to coordinate a response.
→ Discussion: [RFC] Positioning ENS as a Foundational Layer for AI Agent Identity
Based Nouns have named their contracts as part of the ENS DAO initiative, finding the ⌐- contracts beneficial. This reflects the collaborative efforts within the ENS ecosystem.
→ Tweet: https://x.com/ENS_DAO/status/2026700061737103769
GeoCities_eth has launched a tool that allows users to search their ENS subdomains and generate a GeoCities website. This integration enhances the utility of ENS within the web creation space.
→ Tweet: https://x.com/ValidatorEth/status/2028173338288267465
The Public Goods Working Group supports the Ethereum ecosystem by identifying and funding open-source development.
The initiative covers digital identity policy across Europe, including the UK and Switzerland. A closed-door roundtable with policymakers and experts is planned for late March. A policy brief on digital sovereignty, subsidiarity, and identity is available for review from March 1st.
Prometheus authenticates images over a decentralized network using three layers: Notarization (IPFS/Swarm storage + onchain hashes), Forensic (sensor-based authenticity analysis), and Oracle (incentivized voting). C2PA integration is coming soon.
The project focuses on a Unified Resolver Matrix spanning DNSSEC, EVM, non-EVM, and WebAuthn resolution patterns. A gasless DNSSEC resolution demo verifies DNS proofs onchain with zero gas using algorithm 13. Web authentication proofs are next.
