# [EP 6.49] SPP3: Cohort Recommendation
AI summary
This proposal recommends funding four service providers (Namespace, Goldsky, Unruggable, and Fluidkey) as part of the third Service Provider Program (SPP3) for the ENS DAO. These providers were selected from 26 applications after a thorough evaluation process by a committee. The total funding requested for this cohort is $1,690,000, which is less than the $3.25 million allocated for SPP3. The proposal details the rationale for each selection and explains why other applicants were not chosen.
If this proposal passes, the ENS DAO treasury will disburse $1,690,000 to the four named service providers to support their work on the ENS ecosystem. This benefits the selected providers and aims to improve ENS infrastructure and services. Other applicants who were not selected will not receive funding from this round.
