He wrote that this transaction transfers all remaining multisig responsibilities to the DAO, thereby “retiring the multisig entirely.” It is unclear whether the other multisig owners have approved the transaction. Individuals who previously managed ENS‘ multisig include Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov, Metamask‘s Dan Finlay, MyCrypto’s
