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.

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.

    • L2 primary names are expected to be released soon.
    • This approach provides an alternative for users who haven’t officially set their primary name due to gas costs.

Media updates

2. Project Highlights

JustAName

  • Just Name is an off-chain subname provider that allows applications to issue subnames.
  • Features:
    • Dashboard to add ENS names.
    • SDKs (core, React, widget) for integration.
    • Widget for easy integration into DApps or platforms.
  • Demo of the widget:
    • Generates an API key.
    • Connects ENS names to the account.
    • Claims subnames with signed messages.
    • Plugin concept to extend the widget with other protocols (EFP, Talent Protocol, POAP).
    • Integrations with XMTP and JustVerified.
  • JustVerified: Open-source infrastructure to generate verifiable credentials for ENS names, proving ownership of socials (Twitter, Telegram, Discord, GitHub, email) and soon, proof of personhood.

SIWENS

  • SIWENS is an extension of SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum), with an added sentence in the message: “I’m signing in using my ENS name.”

SIWENS and AI

  • Combining SIWENS with LLMs gives context about the ENS name to the AI.
  • Allows the AI to access the user’s name, addresses, and socials, completing the identity journey.

ENS TOOLS

  • The solution was to store tools inside ENS name records and execute them in a sandbox environment to decentralize tool calling.
  • The AI can check if a subname is available using tools like “tools.just.id” by resolving the ENS name, extracting the tools record, and performing the check in a sandbox.
  • ENS functionalities added, such as getting voting power, ENS token price, and ENS balance.
    • For example, to get Vitalik’s ENS balance, the AI resolves the ENS name to an address and passes it to the ENS tool.

Chrome Extension

  • A Chrome extension resolves ENS names or any name on Twitter ending with ETH or any TLD.
  • It allows users to see all the records and profiles of ENS names on Twitter.

Raffy presentation

A full presentation as an overview of how these 4 contracts work can be found on the link here!

CCIP Reader and Universal Resolver (UR) Variants

  • @raffy provided an overview of CCIP Reader and Universal Resolver (UR).
    • CCIP Reader is a “simple” contract that facilitates CCIP reads of other contracts.

Universal Resolver, rewritten

  • The goal is to create a standard interface for the universal resolver that supports multical.
  • @Premm.eth suggested a universal resolver with extra features, inserting logic between name resolution and another action.
  • For example, constraints on the resolver, such as whether it’s audited or not.

More things discussed:

  • CCIP Reader and API Calls
  • CCIP Reader simplifying contract interactions
  • Latency concerns and questions for ENS-centric apps
  • Avatar resolution
  • Optimizing for mainstream adoption

NameAI

  • Launched 2 weeks ago
  • Goal: helping secondary markets for ENS names
  • Partnered with Vision.io
  • Twitter space with Namehash Labs and Vision.
  • Topic: the importance of secondary markets and renewals and registrations

Vision Score (demo)

  • At the moment the same thing as NameAI
  • Allows marketplaces to build special curation for names
  • Helping Vision capture a higher % of tx volume
  • Brings more relevant names (domains) into focus for traders

ENSNode

  • The new Multichain indexer for ENS and ENSv2
  • ENS Subgraph backwards compatibility achieved :white_check_mark:
  • ENS Node built on the Ponder platform
  • ENS Node is a suite of apps:
      1. ENS Rainbow: heals unknown labels
      1. ENS Indexer: core application, multichain
      1. ENS Admin: dashboard for visually exploring ENS data models, state, and resolution strategies

  • An early prototype of an admin dashboard is already built and will be shared in the coming weeks.
  • Working to improve ENS for devs and app builders.
  • This will lead to improved user experiences for the whole ENS ecosystem.
  • More documentation is coming soon.

Subgraph Compatibility

  • Goal: Ensure the ENS Node represents the same data as the subgraph.
  • Focus on data equivalency – having the same data as on the subgraph.
  • Serving the data in the same API format that client libraries expect.
  • Zero difference as of yesterday. :fire:
  • ENS JS tests pass 100% after switching out the subgraph for the ENS node.
  • Next steps: Onboarding, tidying up, and making it more accessible.
  • Considering backward compatibility, this enables free subgraph queries!

Wildcard

Records xyz: manage ENS profiles on different L2s

  • Decentralized identity should be available to everyone,
  • Challenge is fragmentation of records and different L2s
  • Records.xyz allows users to manage ENS profiles across different L2s
  • Separate records ledgers were built for each L2 to store profile information, giving users the freedom to choose the L2
  • Interoperability via Ethereum’s Open Intents Framework offers a solution by streamlining cross-chain transactions, allowing users to trigger updates from any supported L2 with records saved on a unified L2 for storage, reducing fragmentation.
  • The long-term vision is for Records.xyz to scale and support hundreds of L2s, providing seamless management of ENS profiles.

5. ENSIP Updates
