Brantly Millegan, former Director of Operations at ENS and founder of ethidorg, announced his departure from the Ethereum Name Service ecosystem, concluding a decade-long involvement in the project. Following recent governance events, Millegan removed the .eth suffix from his name and initiated a wind-down of his ethidorg development group. Along with the departure, the ethidorg team declined a $1.2 million grant previously approved by the ENS DAO. Over the next few weeks, ethidorg will sunset several active ecosystem projects, including the Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP), Grails Market, and the ENS Market Bot, although their underlying codebases will remain open source. The sudden shift follows an intense governance debate regarding an ENS Labs proposal to transfer control of the ~$500 million ENS DAO treasury to the ENS Foundation.
GnosisDAO launched a voluntary, one-time pro-rata treasury redemption program allowing GNO holders to claim their share of the DAO's liquid assets. Participants can redeem their GNO tokens at a net asset value of approximately $115 per token using the web-based redemption portal. The eligible circulating supply is capped at 1,364,058 GNO, explicitly excluding any tokens held directly by GnosisDAO or Gnosis Ltd. All redeemed GNO will be permanently returned to the DAO treasury and removed from circulation, thereby increasing the pro-rata claims of all holders who choose to stay. The redemption program distributes liquid backing assets in kind, including ETH, stablecoins, and ecosystem tokens like COW, SAFE, and HOPR.
Elliott Alexander published an analysis revealing how popular cryptocurrency wallets leak extensive offchain metadata before users even initiate a transaction. Packet-sniffing experiments on thirteen popular software wallets on clean devices showed that the average client contacted fourteen external domains upon its first launch. In the most severe case discovered, a wallet initiated connections to 26 domains and 41 distinct IP addresses, including pinging balance-infrastructure endpoints across three providers before an account was even created. The offchain leaks are further worsened by default Remote Procedure Call (RPC) configurations, which expose a user's entire address portfolio and device IP address to a single server.
