The ENS DAO Term 6 Dashboard is a comprehensive guide to ENS DAO’s governance and activities. It includes key resources such as the ENS DAO Constitution, meeting schedules via the ENS DAO Calendar, and updates through the bi-weekly ENS DAO Newsletter.
The dashboard outlines proposal processes, thresholds for social and executable proposals, governance environments, working group schedules, and details on Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for compensated tasks. It aims to enhance transparency, understanding, and participation within the ENS ecosystem.
Details of current proposals will be provided here. For backdated proposals, refer to the the Forum’s Proposal Bulletin for updates and detailed information on each proposal. For detailed governance information, refer to the Governance Documentation.
Proposals are how changes are made to the DAO’s status quo. They can be submitted by anyone meeting the required $ENS thresholds and are voted on by delegates based on their token holdings. If a proposal reaches quorum and passes, it is ratified and implemented.
Proposal Thresholds:
10k ENS: Required for a social proposal — an agreement of the DAO on matters that cannot be enforced on-chain.
100k ENS: Required for an executable proposal — involves smart contract operations executed by DAO-controlled accounts.
New to the ENS DAO or curious about how it works? basics.ensdao.org is your go-to resource for learning about governance, proposals, and ways to get involved in the ENS ecosystem.
Whether you’re exploring ENS for the first time or looking to deepen your participation, this guide provides all the essentials.
