The ENS DAO is the decentralized governance body for the Ethereum Name Service. ENS token holders vote on protocol upgrades, treasury spending, and policy changes through on-chain governance. The ENS DAO has a multi-million dollar treasury funded by ENS registration fees. Holders of the ENS governance token receive votes proportional to their holdings and can delegate their voting power to community representatives.
