ENS DAO Governance Vote Sparks Controversy: Founder Casts 3.26 Million Votes Against Renewing Security Council for Two Years

Odaily Planet Daily News The recent voting results of ENS DAO, which governs the Ethereum Name Service, have sparked controversy within the community. Some community members pointed out that in the latest on-chain vote, ENS founder Nick Johnson cast approximately 3.26 million votes against the executive proposal to renew the Security Council for two years. Previously, this proposal had passed the Snapshot community vote, but the on-chain executive proposal failed to gain support. As the controversy escalates, some community members have expressed concerns about the degree of decentralization in the ENS DAO governance mechanism. However, others believe the incident reflects more of an issue with the distribution structure of governance tokens rather than a failure of the protocol itself.
