The ETH Name Services organization terminated the contract of Brantly Millegan who was director of operations at ENS so let’s read further in today’s latest Ethereum news.

After a controversial tweet resurfaced, the legal entity that backs the ETH Name Service terminated the contract with Brantly Millegan. He was the director of operations at ENS which is a solution that turns complicated ETH addresses into readable ETH addresses. TNS is a nonprofit that funds and organizes the development of ENS which terminated the contract of Millegan effective today according to a tweet from Nick Johnson who is the lead developer behind ENS. The TNS move came after a backlash stemming from the reemergence of a controversial tweet from Millegan:

“Many of you were hurt by Brantly’s comments over the past 24 hours, and we strongly believe that ENS should be an inclusive community.”

Millegan tweeted that homosexual acts are evil and denied the existence of transgenderism claiming that abortion was murder and said that contraception and masturbation are both perversions. He continued to defend these views in public and responded to calls that he address teh comments with there was nothing really anything to address. He noted:

“I adhere to the world’s largest religion, and apparently that’s not allowed in Web3?”

Millegan was removed indefinitely from his position as a community steward by the ENS DAO after a vote in the community. An ENS steward is an elected role in the DAO which is responsible for managing operations. After his removal, another proposal outlined the next steps and included removing him as a director of the ENS foundation asking him to step down from his leadership roles. The ENS token reacted modestly to the events and increased over 1% over the past day as per the data from CoinMarketCap.

As recently reported, First unveiled in a Medium post published on October 17, the service will allow enthusiasts to use one ENS name for all of their cryptocurrency wallets. It is noted that the ENS user interface right now supports only Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) addresses and not all of the endcodings. As the developers noted, this “cements ENS’s place as the most widely adopted blockchain-based naming service by a wide margin.”
