ETH rallied +47%, ENS gained +12.4%, and the DAO saved $2.36M via a successful ETH→USDC TWAP. 

Endowment AUM hit $94.9M with 100% capital utilization and $241K in DeFi yield. LPs rotated into LSTs to lower risk.

New Proposal: OpenBox Investment Committee

Seeks to form the OpenBox Investment Committee to evaluate a potential $5M equity deal—no funds committed yet. This is a chance to align ENS with 2026 naming infrastructure.
