Hey frENS! I’m Zadok7.eth. We all have a story about how we first encountered ENS. I’d like to share a bit of mine. I hope you reflect on yours also. I think it’s important because all of our stories are what makes up ENS. My entry to ENS happened one day while researching how to build decentralized websites. One of the core ENS members had built an example of exactly what I wanted to do, and I was amazed that was even possible. Soon, I began listening to Twitter spaces about ENS to learn as much as I could. While doing so, I observed the core team was never far away or inaccessible. They were actually very involved with the community. In fact, they’d answer the same questions over and over on these calls. They were happy to do this though. Even the simplest of questions were answered without any judgment.

Then came the surprise ENS governance token and formation of the ENS DAO. We were “airdropped responsibility” a core ENS member said. This is when things came into clearer focus for me. I now understood that the core team was so caring and nurturing of the ENS community, because they would literally be handing over the future of ENS to the DAO one day. It now made sense why the very busy core team members took the time they did and still do with the community. With the same spirit, I would love to serve as a Steward in the Meta-Governance Working group.

Some have described me as a non-linear thinker. I tend to try to see many angles and possibilities when deciding to take action. I believe that could be helpful for this Steward role, because ENS will continue to navigate uncharted waters in web3 and DAO governance. The goal of ENS to become THE standard decentralized public naming protocol of web3 is no small mission. I believe ENS can become that, but not without proper DAO governance adhering to the long term vision and viability of ENS. The Meta-Governance Working group will be crucial to this success.

You should also know that I’m very passionate about the use of ENS as a public good. I think this excites me the most about ENS and web3 in general. We’re at a very interesting time in history and socio-technical evolution. So much good can be done. The opportunity is there, and I believe the ENS DAO will play a big role in this future. I look forward to being a contributor as well as a Steward in the Meta-Governance Working group.
