  • ENS Wallets – added dark mode

3. Review Upcoming Events

4. ENSIP Updates

  • ENSIP-25: Agent Registry Verification standard
    • In agent registries, agents can set the ENS name.
    • It is part of ERC8004, which is expected to go live on Mainnet soon.
    • In 8004, agents can say their .eth name is anything; there’s no verification method.
    • This IP allows for a verification loop to verify the ENS name associated with an agent
    • This IP proposes a verification solution.
  • Another ENSIP by Premm is Contract self-naming, which uses diamond storage or namespace storage to self name a contract without needing an owner.
  • And 2 more ENSIPs that’ll be discussed in the future.

5. Space for Service Providers

5.1 Namehash Labs

  • The team will be in Hong Kong for the Consensus event
  • ENSNode: Indexer and APIs that support both ENSv1 and ENSv2
  • ENSAwards, best practices, and readiness docs.
  • ENS Referral program:
    • Built to incentivize apps with lots of users to integrate ENS registrations and renewals
    • The ENS Holiday Awards have been completed
    • The program of $10k generated $80k in registration and renewal fees for the DAO.
    • 10k total referrals in December

5.2 Unruggable

  • ERC-7930 – Interoperable Addresses
  • Unruggable team is working on Interoperable addresses within the Ethereum ecosystem.
  • The IP is considered close to being final after a few iterations.
  • It addresses gaps in specifying chain-specific addresses within CAIP (Chain Agnostic IPs), specifically CAIP-2 and CAIP-10.
  • The goal is to allow users to send money (e.g., USDC on Base) using an address that specifies the network, ensuring it goes to the correct chain without extra instructions.
  • The goal is to support cross-chain messaging and interoperability with other ecosystems, including Solana, using one standard for addressing intents across all blockchains.

1. ENS Labs Updates

2. Project Highlights

2.1. @jkm.eth presenting Organizational Metadata Project

  • The project aims to create a specification for storing metadata on ENS
  • Working on ENSIP and will publish it in the future
  • It introduces two new general text records:
    • Class record that defines an ENS name as a person, org, agent, treasury, etc.
    • Scema record allows people to put in a URI pointing to a JSON schema, which explains what additional metadata attributes, more importantly, context-specific attributes, could be added to that node as well to make it discoverable programmatically.
  • Community feedback is being gathered.
  • One use case could be putting Delegate Statements onchain, also conflict of interest can be published for different DAOs, creating a decentralized registry of delegates and their positions.
  • Read more about the Organizational Metadata standard.

2.2. ENScribe

  • Added Name Explorer page
  • Global search to find organizations that named their contracts
  • Shows the .eth name and all of their metadata
  • Users can search for an organization and see all of their metadata, subnames, contracts, etc.
  • An API is available to get contract metadata directly, which can be used by anyone.

  • ENSIP-25 is live - first IP dedicated to AI agents!
  • The Labs team is at ETHDenver - repping ENS, meeting with partners, and giving talks.

2. Project Highlights

  • Greg created ETH Gas Alerts website.
  • It allows you to estimate the tx fee based on the gas at that moment.
  • The site has a history tab to track gas prices over time.
  • Over last 30 days, there was 1 spike, but gas prices have been consistently under 0.5 gwei.

6.1. @estmcmxci to give a high-level recap of what’s emerged in the ENS x AI chat

  • Full presentation.
  • Marcus discusses the ENS x AI TG group chat started by Cap and Premm.
  • Shared a post from the National Institute of Standards Technology regarding securing AI agent systems and an AI agent standard initiative.
  • NIST sets cryptographic and identity standards used across government and enterprise.
  • Aligning with the NSIT positions ENS as a credible bridge between decentralized identifiers and regulated identity systems.
  • The CTA is to align on a minimal ENS agent profile and discovery pattern, and publish it as a draft as reference architecture, and submit it as an input to these RFIs that the NIST is opening up discussion for.
  • Organizational metadata standard is mentioned as a solution promising standardization of how to express all metadata about ENS names and what they identify.
  • Work in the ENS x AI chat so far has been working with everyone and defining a specific direction when things become clearer in AI agents and crypto.

  • ENScribe widget on Blockscout explorer in the contract details page
  • It displays the identity score for that particular contract
  • ENScribe has added an AI agent to simplify the usage of its app
  • The AI agent can name a contract
  • The AI can answer questions about ENS-related stuff

3. Review Upcoming Events

  • ETHMumbai (Labs and Namespace teams will be there)
  • ethCC (more announcements soon)

4. ENSIP Updates

  • ENSIP-25 was recently merged
    • Allows for verifying the ENS name of an agent using the 8004 registry
  • ENSIP-26 brief overview
    • It’s about unifying multiple registrations of an agent across multiple chains
    • Uses a single text record called Agent context
  • Integrating ENS and payments into Clawdbot would be a top priority
  • ENS provides a neutral, decentralized, verifiable platform for agent context
  • ENS is the premier solution for creating decentralized agents, eliminating platform risk
  • Ethereum and ENS can be the home for a neutral platform for agent identity

5. Space for Service Providers

5.1. Justaname

  • Jaw ID is a smart account infrastructure built on top of JustaName infrastructure.
  • It gives builders the tooling to deploy onchain accounts with ENS from the start.
  • Integration can be done via the WAGMI connector or in a headless mode.
  • It can issue reusable wallets across platforms or app-specific wallets tied to the app’s domain.
  • Uses passkey signing.
  • Users can pay gas fees with stablecoins like USDC.
  • All signing is done via passkey, verified onchain.
  • The permission system enables advanced workflows, allowing users to authorize AI agents or servers to perform actions on their behalf.
  • Users can set spending limits and approve specific contracts and functions for agents.
  • This system can facilitate DeFi strategies or subscription models that are difficult to implement with regular accounts.
  • When coding with AI agents, the system uses smart routing to provide only necessary context.
  • The wallet is designed for tradfi companies entering web3, providing onchain accounts with a Web2-like experience (biometrics, ENS names, USDC for gas).
  • The goal is to enable these companies to issue onchain accounts for their users while maintaining self-custody.
  • Docs https://docs.jaw.id/

6. Open Space for Additional Topics

  • Q: Is there a Subname label data internal database maintained by the ENS Labs, because the ENS app displays subnames registered on L1, but the graph and ENSNode lack label data.
  • No internal database; the data is stored locally in the browser’s local storage.
  • The Manager app saves a mapping of the string to the hash.
  • The ENSNode may provide a way to contribute labels.

2. Metagov Retro

  • Metagov has been leading a retro evaluation for ENS
  • They are looking at key challenges and making recommendations
  • Phase 2 of the work is finished, and preliminary recommendations have been made.
  • Final recommendations will integrate feedback and provide actionable implementation details.
  • The point of research is to inform decisions.
  • Governance is about optimized decision-making.
  • The research has identified 3 categories of decision-making that ENS is facing: 1) accountability, 2) transparency, and 3) structural reform.
  • Remedial actions should be phased to ensure decision-making is not premature and is based on adequate evidence and data.
  • Recommendations are divided into recommendations and action items for implementation
  • The first recommendation is a flexible, light-touch master plan.
  • Master plan should be an enabler, not a constraint.
  • Master plan helps ENS set transparent, cohesive objectives for every entity in the DAO.
  • For transparency infrastructure - setting up cohesive documentation practices.
  • Implementing standards and templates around reporting.
  • Standardized templates and reporting timelines that feed into master plans.
  • For accountability - Documenting expectations and performance metrics for delegates, conflict of interest structures, etc.
  • Treasury oversight - Standardizing capital allocation procurements (Labs, SPP)
  • Sanctions - ENS should correlate sanctions to different types of undesired behaviors
  • Holding office hours and additional workshops for feedback.
  • More details here.

3. Project Highlights [@clowes.eth]

  • Thomas from Unruggable created: https://enswhois.com/
  • You can enter a name, address, hash, or Label token ID to retrieve data about that name.
  • ENS Indexer website: https://ensindexer.com/
  • ENS Indexer is the product powering the ENSWhois product.
  • It’s an indexer for ENS, designed as “dRPC for indexing,” with a centralized entry point and a decentralized network of indexes.
  • It uses a RESTful API for querying data about ENS names
  • API-first integration is the future of ENS, according to Thomas.
  • There have been 24 ENS-related contracts since 2017
    • This makes it difficult for new entrants to parse the data.
  • Therefore, more integrations will happen through API due to simplicity.
  • Anyone can deploy their own indexer with a single click for about $10 a month.
  • Project will be open-sourced in the future.
  • The idea is to create a decentralized network where anyone can deploy their own indexer.
  • When an indexer starts, it automatically owns home.
  • The proxy pings the indexer every minute to verify data integrity.
  • Read more in his blog post: Indexing the Ethereum Name Service.

5. ENSIP Updates

  • ENSIP-27 – Clarifies the format to always be ensname@label
  • ENSIP-26: Minimum set of text records for agents (ENS AI group discussion).
  • Introduces two keys: agent context and agent endpoint.
  • Agent Context can evolve over time, potentially using markdown or embedded JSON.
  • Learn more about ENSIP-27.

6. Space for Service Providers

6.1. JustaName

  • Jaw.id iz is an identity-centric smart account infrastructure
  • The demo showcases advanced workflows enabled by the permission layer.
  • It highlights using ENS as a gamer tag across different games.
  • Session key functionality highlighted:
    • Starting a new session creates a private key (access key or session key) in the background, which changes on each session.
    • The session key is never funded or directly touched by the user.
    • In the example, permissions are delegated to this access key to spend 2 USDC for 1 hour.
  • Demo included onchain execution
    • Every click in the game costs 0.1 USDC.
    • After clicking multiple times, all calls are grouped into a signal tx and executed onchain.
    • If the original allowance is exceeded (2 USDC), the transaction should have failed.
  • Launched CLI SDK:
    • Goal: Maintain security properties of the Jaw stack while allowing CLI usage, especially with AI agents.
    • A local daemon runs on the user’s device and communicates encrypted messages via a relay.
    • The relay is open source and can be self-hosted
    • CLI can be used to call wallet connect and sign transactions
    • The CLI SDK provides rails to develop stronger use cases, especially with machine payment protocols (MPP) recently announced by Tempo.
