1. ENS Labs Updates

  • Added Spanish and Portuguese translation and improved Chinese.
  • Registering a name gave you a wrapped name by default, now it will intelligently choose whether to wrap or unwrap the name during registration to be the most efficient gas-wise.

Namehash Labs @lightwalker.eth

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

1076×606 157 KB

  • 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

Strategy Discussion Calls

  • Bi-weekly opt-in call for deep dives into specific topics
  • More about the proposal: Temp-Check: Strategy & Discussion Call (Office Hours)
  • Feedback and comments are encouraged!
  • Nick expressed interest in attending
  • An in-person meeting at ETH Denver is being considered to discuss ENSIPs.

6. Open space for additional topics

Service Provider Program

  • The program funds 9 different teams that help improve ENS.
  • The program has nine teams with a budget of 3.6 million, and it is up for renewal.
  • People are encouraged to read the details and make their own judgments on the program’s success.
  • Snapshot vote is LIVE

Unruggable Gateways Audit

ENS Service Provider Budget

  • A comment was made advocating for increasing the budget for the ENS service provider program in season two.
  • The ENS service provider program has created a lot of value for the ENS protocol this year.
  • Increasing the budget will help teams grow and add more talent to their teams.
