  • Need to resolve if ENSIPs are canonical or not over 2025
    • Greg: I would say ENSIPs are canonical but that doesn’t mean people can experiment outside of them. experimentation is what should inspire ENSIPs
  • ENSIPs for library developers and dApp developers, but things such as text records for a larger audience; powerful primitive of ENS
  • Full-time job to get downstream adoption of libraries with all different communities/ecosystems (especially with large projects that are closed-source); teams don’t have tons of incentive to update
    • Need to consider when building out/promoting Namechain

1. ENS Labs Updates

ENS updates by @gregskril:

  • The Labs team is doing an on-site planning session next week.
  • ETH Denver event planning continues… fun new merch mentioned :eyes:
  • Multi-delegate tool contract will be released (most likely next month or so)
    • This would allow people to delegate ENS tokens to multiple Delegates.
  • The work around L2 development is ongoing.
  • Working with dRPC to provide gateway services for L2 names/subnames – dRPC & ENS partnership post.
  • Fixed Dune dashboard error for calculating .eth registration revenue

2. Project Highlights

  • No project highlights but Greg mentioned Ponder – a lightweight, open-source, and faster alternative to the Graph. Typescript backend framework for building crypto apps.
  • Greg built an ENS indexer on Ponder and did a quick demo. More about this project on Greg’s GitHub.
  • ENS Ideas website was mentioned as an example of an app that could use Ponder and Indexer — to view new name registrations and/or fetch all records from names/subnames. Or it could be integrated into ENS Dapp so all names and their records are fetched from an Indexer instead of an ENS Subgraph.
  • Comparison with Graph
    • The graph is more granular; the indexer is a simpler, self-hostable version.
    • Indexer provides access to data in a raw format via a Postgres database.
    • Allows for building custom REST endpoints.

3. Review Upcoming Events

  • No major updates on ETH Denver plans yet other than ENS will be there. Plans are in progress, more details will be released soon.

4. Space for Service Providers

Namestone

Presented by @slobo.eth.

  • Namestone acquired the namestone.com domain :partying_face:
  • Feature updates:
    • Sepolia support for testing Namestone’s product for Offchain subnames
    • Improved admin panel to add/edit more records
  • Q4 report is out featuring Durin, product metrics, and other updates. Full report.
  • Durin highlighted as the biggest success of 2024 – with more than 100 registries deployed by devs around the world.

Namehash Labs

Presented by @lightwalker.eth, Matt, and Tomasz

  • Many updates on existing projects by NamehashLabs will be announced soon.
  • Introduction of ENSNode as a new core infrastructure project:
    • Multichain indexer for ENS – Single index, fully subgraph-compatible, with options to run your own instance.
    • Acknowledgment and review of the ENS subgraph, its use cases, limitations, etc.
    • Graph being single chain highlighted as the biggest issue and the future of ENS is multichain!
  • Added 2 more people to the team (Matt and Tomasz)
  • Broad Technical implementation of ENSNode was discussed and more details are coming publicly soon.
  • More about ENSNode on this Link.
  • Full presentation by NamehashLabs can be found here.
  • :rotating_light: NamehashLabs is looking for devs. Anyone interested should ping Lightwalker on TG (@lightwalker_eth).

5. ENSIP Updates

Current open questions:

  • Establish independent ENSIP editors?
  • A pull request has been approved by Nick to name three independent EIP editors.
  • If you’re interested in becoming an ENSIP editor, you should ping @Premm.eth.
  • Should ENSIPs be canonical or not?
  • ENSIPs are currently canonical, but Prem proposes making them non-canonical to potentially encourage greater innovation, experimentation, and contributions.
  • Suggestion to create a forum thread to discuss the canonical vs non-canonical issue.

6. Open Space for Additional Topics

  • None
