Abstract

This proposal executes all three Working Group funding requests for the October 2025 funding window, as approved in social proposals EP 6.24.1, EP 6.24.2, and EP 6.24.3. Each was ratified via Snapshot and follows the ENS DAO’s standard funding process. This executable aggregates the transfers into a single transaction set.

Proposal Components

Working Group	Destination (Multisig)	Amount
Meta-Governance	ENS Meta-Gov Main Multisig	379,000 USDC (0 ETH, 0 ENS)
Ecosystem	ENS Ecosystem Main Multisig	470,000 USDC (0 ETH, 0 ENS)
Public Goods	ENS Public Goods Main Multisig	110,000 USDC + 15 ETH

Total requested: 959,000 USDC + 15 ETH

Meta-Governance Working Group

Funding Request (EP 6.24.1): The Meta-Governance Working Group requested 379,000 USDC from the ENS DAO treasury to fund its operations through April 2026. This funding covers anticipated expenses for the term, including stewardship compensation, contract audits, DAO tooling, and discretionary initiatives, while maintaining a prudent reserve to ensure continuity if future funding is delayed.

Ecosystem Working Group

Funding Request (EP 6.24.2): The Ecosystem Working Group requested 470,000 USDC to support its operations through April 2026. The working group is responsible for growing and improving the ENS ecosystem by funding ENS-specific or ENS-centric builders and projects. The budget will support hackathons, grants, ecosystem support (including bug bounties), and community events to strengthen ENS tools and community growth.

Public Goods Working Group

Funding Request (EP 6.24.3): The Public Goods Working Group requested 110,000 USDC and 15 ETH from the ENS DAO treasury to fund its initiatives through April 2026. The funding will be used for strategic grants and builder grants that support impactful public goods, developer tools, and ecosystem projects aligned with ENS’s long-term vision. This allocation, combined with the working group’s existing balance, will cover expected expenses for the term while leaving a small reserve to ensure continuity if future funding is delayed.
