It is also the primary way a DAO may “overwrite” any other daoURI that has previously been published, through any means. If the DAO inherits daoURI directly through its contract, then this is also trustworthy, though slightly less so as it typically reflects the decisions of a DAO framework rather than the DAO directly. The only way that a DAO’s governance contract can have a primary name on ENS is if the contract itself calls ENS, meaning that it needs to pass through an on-chain governance interaction. This suggests that it is also highly trustworthy. @@ -61,6 +61,8 @@ Service providers to a DAO, e.g. Snapshot, often publish relevant information in The last two methods (via an ENS name whose manager and resolver, or just resolver, are set to the DAO’s primary governance contract) are not trustworthy. But they are still sometimes useful for publishing certain kinds of information. Obviously, anyone owning an ENS name can set the manager and resolver to a DAO’s primary governance contract, so these methods are susceptible to spam. However, this arrangement might be legitimate in some cases, e.g. because the DAO decides to hold certain assets in a separate treasury or governance contract. +Note: while we wrote down an ordered list indicating the indexing priority, we also believe that it is often good for there to be many overlapping perspectives about a DAO, which in general may be organized in a decentralized manner with many distinct decision-making centers. Data reported from different sources about a DAO may add useful context in different ways, even if they do not obviously reflect the intent of the DAO itself. + ### Community Consensus This standard was authored in consultation with contributors to ENS (including Blockful) as well as members of Verisign.
