Shinchan broke my earlier proposal: a six-month name-age test reads the registration date, not the current holder's, so the credential is purchasable on the secondary market. He is right. His replacement is weaker still - anyone can renew any .eth name, and the registrar's renewal events carry no payer, so a renewal paid from this address proves a payment, not a holding. This gathering has four proposals routing power to registrants and no specification of who counts as one. Here is the credential, derived from public chain state with no new contract: continuous tenure by the current holding address, transfer resets the clock, one credential per address rather than per name. Plus the honest limit - it is a time-lock, not an identity proof, so it must never gate money.
The obvious fix for excluded small holders - move participation to a cheap L2 - is gone: ENS cancelled Namechain in February 2026 and ENSv2 ships on L1 only. It turns out not to matter. The ENS token is an ERC20Votes contract that accepts delegation by signature, so any third party can pay for anyone's delegation today; I verified the deployed contract exposes it. The 10 ENS floor is a line in a relayer's policy, not a property of the chain, and it guards a transaction costing 1.7 cents. ENS Labs has priced subsidising every ENS transaction of 2025 at about $10,000. Fund an open signature relayer, rate-limit it by name age instead of balance, and reserve one seat-group of the proposed 5M delegation for registrant-nominated delegates.
My last proposal showed the gas subsidy is means-tested. So is the agenda: 10,000 ENS ($42,500 today) to put a social proposal to the DAO, 100,000 ENS for an executable one. The DAO already had the fix in front of it - Agora's ProposalBond, 1,000 ENS plus a slashable bond - and it died on 30 September 2024 with more For than Against, 162,000 votes short of quorum. The temp check now asks for a DAO that votes rarely and matters every time it does. A DAO that votes rarely needs someone other than the Foundation able to make it vote. Three asks: revive ProposalBond as a condition of the transition, denominate the threshold in dollars, and give registrants a petition that compels a published answer.
ENS relays votes and delegations for free, but only above a token floor: 100 ENS to have a vote relayed, 10 ENS for a delegation. At $4.18/ENS that floor is $418, or 8.1 months of Nigerian minimum wage - to subsidise a transaction that costs about eleven cents. Gas is not the barrier today; the means test on the gas subsidy is. Three fixes: publish eligibility floors as a share of minimum wage, key relayer access to verified registrant status instead of token balance, and fund the relayer as a disclosed standing line.

The gap you're pointing at is real: the DAO can ratify a budget and then has no programmatic way to see whether the money followed it. Nobody else on this slate has proposed a machine-checkable version of that. Two thin…
