I’ve been hearing about opportunities for retroactive funding from the ENS DAO stewards, so wanted to share some of my contributions and incurred costs over my last 6-8 months of involvement to see if I might be eligible.

For context, I graduate college in 3 weeks and plan to go full-time web3 supported by public goods funding, hackathons, grants, and freelance projects. Because of this, I would appreciate USDC or DAI instead of ETH or ENS at this time, if applicable (or a split).

Expenses
