If approved by the ENS DAO, the ENSv2 activation proposal must undergo a mandatory waiting period of at least two days under a timelock before implementation

Nick Johnson's ENSv2 activation proposal bundles 15 smart contract calls from the DAO timelock into a single atomic transaction to halt new .eth registrations on the original v1 registrar

Ethereum Name Service founder Nick Johnson submitted a draft proposal on October 11, 2026, asking the ENS DAO to approve the activation of ENSv2, an upgraded naming protocol, on the Ethereum mainnet

Upon full activation of ENSv2, ENS Labs plans to transfer its remaining administrative control and privileged roles over the upgraded contracts to the ENS DAO.

ENS DAO executable proposals require at least 1% participation, equivalent to 1 million ENS votes, and a simple majority vote over a seven-day period to pass.

The ENS DAO should approve the ENSv2 activation proposal
