The council was created to address risks from low voter participation relative to the size of the treasury.
The ENS DAO Security Council is a 4-of-8 Safe multisig with a narrowly defined mandate: It can only cancel malicious proposals that threaten the DAO, especially those targeting the treasury.

​
Purpose and Powers

The Security Council acts only in emergencies, such as:
  • If a proposal violates the ENS Constitution
  • If a proposal is malicious and threatens the DAO’s longevity or sustainability
  • If voters are financially incentivized to act against the DAO’s interests
  • If a proposal benefits an attacker at the DAO’s expense
The council cannot propose, amend, or initiate governance actions.

​
Time-Limited Authority

Two years after deployment, anyone can call renounceTimelockRoleByExpiration() to permanently revoke the council’s cancel power, ensuring decentralization over time.
