ENS Contract Naming Season awards: first distributions and what comes next

When we published our first Contract Naming Season update in January, the focus was on momentum and what had been achieved. Teams were beginning to name contracts, tooling had improved, and the first public protocol announcements had started to appear.
At that stage, the awards themselves were still ahead of us.
We have now reached a more concrete milestone. The first batch of ENS Contract Naming Season awards has been distributed, and with two months still to go before the program closes at the end of April, we now have a clearer picture of how participation is taking shape.
