ENS Completes a Quiet “Self-Revolution”
- On August 11, ENS DAO voted to approve the 'Next Era of ENS DAO' proposal.
- The proposal establishes a legal entity to represent ENS in the real world after nearly a decade of operation.
- The final plan retains control of 54.6 million ENS tokens under DAO mechanisms and limits the foundation's financial authority.
- The new foundation's board includes five members, with specific roles and conflict-of-interest clauses.
- ENS Labs can now focus on product development, having clarified the governance structure.
On August 11, 2023, Beijing time, the ENS DAO officially voted to approve and execute the 'Next Era of ENS DAO' proposal. This proposal marks a significant step for Ethereum's domain name protocol, establishing a legal entity to represent ENS in the real world after nearly a decade of operation.
The proposal faced initial controversy, with concerns about the potential dissolution of the DAO and the transfer of a treasury valued at nearly $500 million to the foundation. However, the final version included key concessions, such as retaining control of approximately 54.6 million ENS tokens under DAO mechanisms.
The governance structure now features a foundation board with five members, including independent directors and specific conflict-of-interest clauses. This structure aims to separate responsibilities between the protocol, foundation, and development company, allowing ENS Labs to focus on product and engineering advancements without the burden of governance issues.
ENS 完成了一次低调的“自我革命”
2023年8月11日，北京时间，ENS DAO 正式投票通过并执行了“ENS DAO 的下一个时代”提案。该提案标志着以太坊域名协议的重要一步，在近十年的运营后，建立了一个法律实体来代表 ENS 进入现实世界。
该提案最初面临争议，社区对 DAO 可能解散以及将价值近 5 亿美元的资金转移至基金会表示担忧。然而，最终版本包含了关键让步，例如将约 5460 万 ENS 代币的控制权保留在 DAO 机制下。
治理结构现在设有一个由五名成员组成的基金会董事会，包括独立董事和具体的利益冲突条款。该结构旨在分离协议、基金会和开发公司的职责，使 ENS Labs 能够专注于产品和工程进步，而不必承担治理问题的负担。
