ENS DAO Activates Eight-Member Security Council with Five-of-Eight Veto Authority Until July 2028

The Ethereum Name Service DAO has activated an eight-member Security Council to cancel malicious governance proposals before execution. The council operates through a five-of-eight multisignature wallet, requiring at least five members to approve any intervention, and serves until July 16, 2028. Members include ENS founder Nick Johnson, Hudson Jameson, Pablo Sabbatella, Colton Liberacki, Kevin Gaspar, Alex Van de Sande, Griff Green and Alex Netto.

The council can only intervene during ENS's two-day execution delay (timelock) following a passed tokenholder vote, canceling proposals resulting from fraud, bribery, flash-loan attacks, stolen credentials or other governance exploits. Council members cannot introduce proposals, amend approved transactions, redirect treasury assets or override ordinary policy disagreements, keeping emergency authority strictly limited.
