Assign Ownership of the .kred TLD to Verified Multisig Controller

Abstract

This Executable Proposal requests that the ENS DAO assign ownership of the .kred top-level domain (TLD) to the multisig wallet:

0xb9ef2c160D908A4F7a9DFcdba46662C4a7EC4FD9

The proposing entity already owns and operates the ICANN .kred TLD and has demonstrated authoritative control of the DNS registry by publishing the ENS verification TXT record:

_ens.nic.kred TXT "a=0xb9ef2c160D908A4F7a9DFcdba46662C4a7EC4FD9"

This satisfies the ENS DNS-based proof-of-ownership mechanism and confirms legitimate authority over .kred.

---

Motivation

The .kred top-level domain is an active ICANN TLD. Establishing .kred within ENS via DNS-verified ownership expands ENS’s integration with traditional DNS namespaces and supports unified Web2 + Web3 identity infrastructure.

Benefits include:

• Cryptographic linkage between ICANN DNS and ENS
• Unified namespace for identity services
• Compliance with ENSIP-10 DNS integration standards
• Reduced end‑user confusion via namespace alignment

The target controller is a multisig wallet, ensuring secure and decentralized stewardship.

DNS Proof of Authority

The authoritative DNS TXT record published is:

_ens.nic.kred TXT "a=0xb9ef2c160D908A4F7a9DFcdba46662C4a7EC4FD9"

This demonstrates:

1. Control of the ICANN .kred zone
2. Intent to bind .kred to the supplied wallet
3. Compliance with ENS DNSSEC ownership‑verification standards

---

Specification

This proposal instructs the ENS Root contract to assign ownership of .kred to the verified multisig.

setSubnodeOwner( bytes32(0), // The root node keccak256("kred"), // Label hash for .kred 0xb9ef2c160D908A4F7a9DFcdba46662C4a7EC4FD9 // Verified controller multisig );

Effects:

• Establishes .kred ENS ownership
• Enables registrar/resolver configuration
• Maintains continuity between DNS + ENS namespaces

---

Rationale

Assigning .kred to a multisig ensures secure long‑term stewardship and aligns with ENS precedent such as the .ceo TLD assignment.

The proposer has demonstrated verified ICANN authority via DNS TXT record publication, meeting ENS governance expectations for TLD integration.

---

Security Considerations

• Multisig reduces key compromise risk
• DNSSEC + TXT proof ensures strong ownership validation
• No new systemic risks to ENS
• DAO retains authority for future reassignment if required
