[Executable] Adopt The SEAL Safe Harbor Agreement
AI summary
This proposal asks the ENS DAO to adopt the SEAL (Security Alliance) Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement. This agreement allows 'whitehat' hackers (ethical security researchers) to intervene during active exploits of the ENS protocol to save funds. It provides legal protection for these whitehats and outlines rules for their actions, including a requirement to return all rescued funds within 72 hours to a designated recovery address. The agreement also incentivizes whitehats with a bounty, a percentage of the recovered assets, for successful interventions.
If passed, ENS will formally join other DAOs in adopting this agreement, potentially enhancing the security of its on-chain assets by enabling rapid response to active exploits. Whitehats benefit from legal protection and financial incentives for their efforts, while ENS benefits from a clearer framework for emergency fund recovery. There are no direct financial losses for any party, but the DAO commits to paying bounties for successful rescues.
