The inclusion of EIP-7212 in L1 is currently uncertain. To support ENSv2 DNSSEC for 2LDs, the P256 precompile is essential. ENS Labs should guide Ulerdogan’s team on testing, and Public Goods Stewards should discuss including P256 in the next EVM hard fork. estmcmxci.eth will review this issue in detail next week and propose solutions. Further details can be found in the [Public Goods RFP Proposal](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/2024-2h-budget-ens-ecosystem-working-group/19463). — 📝 Resources ------------ ENS DAO offers several resources for understanding and participating in its ecosystem. * [**ENS DAO Basics**](https://basics.ensdao.org/): Details the ENS DAO, including voting and governance. * [**Support Docs**](https://support.ens.domains/docs): Provides guidance on registration, renewals, and development aspects. * [**Governance Docs**](https://docs.ens.domains/v/governance/): Offers additional insights into governance structure. * [**ENS Agora**](https://agora.ensdao.org/): Governance hub for proposal review and voting. * [**Give Feedback**](https://ens.canny.io/)**:** Share input to improve ENS. * [**ENS Repository**](https://github.com/ensdomains): The ENS Protocol’s main GitHub repository. — Thank you for reading!
