This article links to the official ENS DAO sites — forum, voting, delegation, Working Groups, and the $ENS governance token. For how the DAO actually works, start at basics.ensdao.org.
Important: Always check the URL before connecting your wallet or signing a governance message. Lookalike voting sites and fake token-claim prompts are a common scam pattern. The links below are the official DAO sites.
Good to know
Voting and delegating use the
$ENSgovernance token — an ERC-20, separate from.ethnames..ethnames don't count towards governance or voting power.If you hold
$ENSbut don't want to vote yourself, delegate to someone active in governance — see What is delegate.ens.domains?
