Christoph Jentzsch proposed on X that ENS DAO dissolve itself rather than continue operating under what he called a broken governance structure.
"As it seems, the ENS DAO is broken," he wrote. "I would propose turning this into a win, by actually dissolving it. Its goals have been accomplished, the ENS protocol is in good shape, it serves its purpose and can now be formally turned into a true public infrastructure by burning the key (set to 0x00) of the ENSv2 Universal Router, as well as distributing the remaining funds."
Jentzsch said he holds no formal role in ENS governance.
The post came a day after ENS co-founder Nick Johnson single-handedly blocked an onchain vote to renew the DAO's Security Council, and roughly two weeks after he self-delegated close to half the protocol's active voting supply to back a separate proposal expanding the ENS Foundation's control over the treasury.
Jentzsch's post quoted a thread from delegate spengrah.eth arguing that ENS Labs, "via the project's founder, Nick," was moving to control the DAO's operations, treasury and Security Council simultaneously: "The DAO looks like it has been captured. Voting power is concentrated in Labs, and is being wielded to take nearly-unilateral actions."
