Base subnames live + Call for Devs to test Namespace SDK

🌱 ENS Ecosystem
1

Hey everyone,

Cap here, founder of Namespace - one of the Service Providers, building a platform for easy integration of ENS focused on Subname registrations (onchain and offchain), resolution, and record management.

Some quick announcements + asks from the ENS community and developers interested in testing our new platform and SDK.

Base Announcement

We have officially launched the support for minting Subnames on Base chain. This effectively allows anyone to list their ENS names on our platform and start minting subnames on Base in no time.

More announcement details here: x.com

Demo

I recorded a detailed demo showing how to list ENS names and start minting subnames from 1) our platform, 2) the ENS widget we built, and 3) using Namespace SDK.

Demo Link: Namespace Base Demo (basedsummer.eth) | Loom

Other links to get you started:

  1. Namespace app (for listing (and optionally minting) ENS names): https://app.namespace.tech

  2. Namespace SDK: Namespace SDK | Namespace

  3. How-to guide showing “How to mint subnames using Namespace SDK”: Mint L1 or L2 subnames using SDK | Namespace

Our job is to remove all the friction associated with implementing Subname minting for web3 teams and reduce the implementation time as much as possible.

The Ask

I would love it if people tested Namespace, either minting Base subnames using our platform or our SDK.

Two groups of people we’re counting on are:

  1. Developers
  2. Non-tech community members

For non-tech folks, it will be super easy to list names and start minting directly on our platform or from their own websites by using the ENS widget we built that can be embedded into any website (the demo explains this process as well).

And for the developers, I think our SDK would be particularly interesting. The point of this SDK is to allow minting subnames on L1 and L2s (currently just Base, others will follow soon enough). It was built specifically to remove all the friction and complexities associated with implementing Subname minting. It’s a work in progress and will continue to improve but it does a hell of a job for now!

Namespace Devs group chat

If you’re willing to test the platform or SDK and need help with implementing subname minting, feel free to join our Namespace Devs group. If you know someone who wants/needs to do this, send them this post, or invite them to the group. :pray:

Please let us know if you have any questions, if something was confusing or if something could’ve been done/written better, or even if something made you stop and think for a second…

We want this to be as easy and as intuitive as possible for developers of all backgrounds and skill levels!

Oh, and let us know how long it took you from saying: “let’s do this” to “subname minted successfully, yay”. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you all very much. This means a lot to us!!
