Each steward will receive $ENS tokens equal in value to their total USDC compensation for the year. +2. The $ENS tokens will be distributed on July 1st, via 2-year linear vesting contracts. +3. The $ENS token price used to calculate the number of tokens each steward receives will be derived from the average daily price of the token between January 1st and July 1st of the term. +4. The vesting period will start from the beginning of the term (January 1st), meaning 6 months of vesting will have already occurred at the time of distribution. + +Example calculation: + +- A regular steward receiving $48,000 USDC for the year would also receive $48,000 worth of $ENS tokens. +- If the average $ENS price is $12 when calculated on July 1st, the steward would receive 4,000 $ENS tokens in a 2-year linear vesting contract. +- At the time of distribution (July 1st), 25% of the tokens (1,000 $ENS) would have already vested. + +This structure ensures that stewards' token compensation aligns with their USDC compensation and incentivizes long-term commitment to the DAO. + +### Success Criteria + +For this social proposal to pass, the following quorum and voting requirements must be met: + +1. **Quorum**: The proposal must receive a minimum of 1% of the total supply of $ENS (1 million votes) in the form of "Yes" and "Abstain" votes combined. "No" votes do not count towards quorum. + +2. **Approval**: Once the quorum is reached, the proposal requires a simple majority (>50%) of "Yes" votes among the "Yes" and "No" votes to pass. "Abstain" votes do not count towards the approval calculation. + +If approved, this structure will be implemented for Term 6.

Their subsequent work led to the implementation of the Security Council, significantly enhancing ENS DAO's resilience against attacks. + +## Contribution Details + +The team involved is a [different](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/blockful-service-provider-reports/19553#p-54163-other-contributions-not-related-to-service-provider-scope-14) squad than the one working on the scope of the [ENS service provider](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/blockful-service-provider-reports/19553). It was developed by 2 researchers, 1 smart contract engineer and 4 different auditors the team has worked with previously. Summing up to ~600 hours, the scope includes: + +- Comprehensive vulnerability assessment and risk analysis: **[Here](https://mirror.xyz/research.blockful.eth/-PfMduhpxdypPrutofr6099T4ROpsAmX0fPNbvDgR_k)** is our detailed security report. +- Data analysis of ENS governance metrics and study of past DAO attacker's behaviors. +- Design, development and deployment of the Security Council contract and multisig. +- The Security Council was thought with several key features to balance security and decentralization. +- Smart contract implementation and testing ([GitHub](https://github.com/blockful-io/security-council-ens)) +- Governance proposal drafting and support [[1](https://snapshot.org/#/ens.eth/proposal/0xf3a4673fe04a3ecfed4a2f066f6ced1539a5466d61630428333360b843653c54), [2](https://snapshot.org/#/ens.eth/proposal/0xa0b1bfadf6853b5b0d59d3c4d73c434fc6389339887d05de805361372eb17c3a), [3](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/ens/proposal/42329103797433777309488042029679811802172320979541414683300183273376839219133)] + +More details can be found on the links above for past proposals and the [report](https://mirror.xyz/research.blockful.eth/-PfMduhpxdypPrutofr6099T4ROpsAmX0fPNbvDgR_k). + +## Compensation Rationale + +As a team that is totally bootstrapped and never received any investment, this support us to keep it sustainable with the resources invested towards this initiative. The requested amount represents fair compensation for: + +- The potential loss prevention of ~$150M, capture of the DAO and protocol. The attack is anything but theoretical and there are actually many groups of investors who specialize in "risk free value raiders". They have exerted the attack on other DAOs before. Currently there are [unknown whales](https://etherscan.io/address/0x245445940b317e509002eb682e03f4429184059d#tokentxns) buying ENS for +450 days and have ~2M ENS, showing how feasible the scenario is, more than the average quorum, in one wallet. +- A critical code bug bounty in [ENS is $250k USDC](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/ens/scope/#assets). Our work was much beyond identifying and disclosing. +- Significantly lower cost compared to standard rates charged by other security service providers in the DAO space, which typically demand liquid compensation. An example is that Open Zeppelin (one of the most reputable players in security) [charges $4M/year at Compound](https://compound.finance/governance/proposals/76), which recently [suffered](https://mirror.xyz/research.blockful.eth/v0GEP49oXP1gzMDlyP91-S4XIa8PIOd0vKq-6R8f54I) this type of attack. +- Months of dedicated work by the team involved (researchers, devs and auditors). +- The long-term value added to ENS through enhanced security. +- Our commitment to ENS's long-term success and continued contribution, as evidenced by the 2-year vesting schedule. + +## Compensation Structure + +- Total amount: 100k USDC + 15k vested ENS tokens +- Vesting period: 2 years +- Vesting start date: April 8, 2024 (date of initial research disclosure) +- Vesting schedule: Linear vesting + +## Benefits to ENS DAO + +- Sets a positive precedent that **responsible vulnerability disclosure and correction are rewarded**, encouraging future security contributions +- Preserves DAO treasury liquidity by using part of the bounty in ENS tokens instead of USDC or ETH +- Enhances governance security by increasing the number of engaged, security-focused token holders + +## Conclusion + +By approving this compensation, ENS DAO acknowledges the critical importance of security research and proactive governance improvements. The vesting structure ensures ongoing commitment and aligns incentives for continued contribution to ENS's security and stability. + +## Success Criteria + +For this social proposal to pass, the following quorum and voting requirements must be met: + +Quorum: The proposal must receive a minimum of 1% of the total supply of $ENS (1 million votes) in the form of "For" and "Abstain" votes combined. "Against" votes do not count towards quorum. + +Approval: Once the quorum is reached, the proposal requires a simple majority (>50%) of "For" votes among the "For" and "Against" votes to pass. "Abstain" votes do not count towards the approval calculation.
