Enjoys working with, not in competition to, companies like 3dns.box to grow the ecosystem holisticially
Working to improve speed and process of transferring DNS to different owner if user wants to do that; need to liason with groups like ICANN to modernize processes
Discussion around intricacies of how DNS and the companies/protocols that support DNS operate; not simple and straight forward hence why namefi wants to help modernize

Anyone who wants to create subdomains can easily do so
Buildling as a result of Gasless DNSSEC update
Open-sourced, will release shortly after bug fixes

Q: With Gasless DNSSEC what are ways to tokenize ICANN domains? A: 3dns tokenizes domain names with sets up gasless DNSSEC (or similar) for the user; legacy way of using DNS with ENS is still possible (import DNS name onto ENS onchain and wrap with name wrapper). Wasn’t heavily used due to the cost (large Ethereum transaction fee). ENS Labs not currently working on separate solution
IPNS.eth is a no-nonsense, free, open-source, autonomous, trustless, keyless and secure IPNS Pinning Service. Users of IPNS.eth do not need to share their IPNS keys with service providers, and can securely and ‘keylessly’ publish to IPFS network with anonymity. More at https://ipns.dev or ipns.eth.limo
Dynamic Avatars: Avatars on ENS profile static and require manual updates (and transactions) each time want to change, but with offchain resolver can have avatars pre-signed so avatar can change at time selected by user
Launching within the next week
Shows how offchain records bring new capabilities to ENS
Needs to be standard for clients serving ENS so offchain records can be supported by all clients

Specifies how gasless DNSSEC TXT records are formatted, how the resolver’s resolution process functions, and provides a public API for the CCIP-Read DNSSEC gateway used for the implementation

@limes asked about infrastructure needs/costs of maintaining something like this
@clowes.eth: If ENS is as big as DNS, as we think it will be, need to think big of running ENS in efficient way
@premm.eth: Still issues that need to be worked such as decentralized sequencing that are bottlenecks. Wouldn’t want people to have to bridge ETH to own ENS chain just to get a name
@slobo.eth: Is someone cataloging pros/cons, list of things don’t yet know
@clowes.eth: Intention to document in depth in coming months and format in ELI5 way to pitch to DAO for input and come to best conclusion as an ecosystem
@slobo.eth: Reminder that this is extremely early in research phase, lots of problems to think through before could begin building
@clowes.eth: Want whats best for ENS in the long-term, not immediately obvious what that solution is yet
@slobo.eth: FYI: One team fully dedicated to just researching this, other teams also looking into it
Discussion around ensuring ENS builders have an ENS
@coltron.eth: Does ecosystem have program for builders to get an ENS? So everyone building for ENS has own ENS name?
@slobo.eth: Have been doing/facilitating in the background through personal reach-out. Willing to support as stewards, if good enough to get public goods grant, willing to give them/get funding for an ENS name

Discussion around metadata services, see notes under Greg’s personal project
No call next week as most people will be at ETHDenver
Offchain ENS names are becoming more popular (see Coinbase and Uniswap), so it’d be amazing to have them supported in go-ens
The ENS DAO Ecosystem Working Group is sponsoring a 0.5 ETH bounty for a developer to implement ENSIP-10 and EIP-3668. Please reply to the GitHub issue, or on Farcaster, if you’re interested in working on this feature

ENSPunks: I’m an attorney, help small businesses get setup
Solution to a personal problem developed in 2022, involved in Web3, have self-custody wallets, participating in governance, need legal protection while conducting normal Web3 transactions
Created PunksLLC as a Delaware LLC, specifically a Series LLC, which gives legal authority to create separate LLCs underneath.
Create Series for each wallet - in real world property owners would use them for each one of the properties - if one of the properties gets sued the liability is limited to that one asset
Tokenization LLC creates a Series LLC with each ENS subdomain
Have been using it for over a year, want to open it publicly and get conversations going
Q: Is there a limit to number of LLCs?
A: Was created to reduce number of filings and filing fees (save people money). Other crypto orgs have identified this as a use case for crypto. At some point the State of Delaware might look into it, but unknown at what number of Series LLCs. Could be required filings in other jurisdictions
Thanks for continuous support over the last 2 years
Platform for easy ENS Subname management (selling, gifting, etc.) + Developer toolkit for easy ENS subnames integration
Mission: Democratize Access to Web3 Identity through ENS. We achieve that by:
proactively integrating ENS with other dapps and projects
building cool stuff for the ENS community/owners to get the most out of their names, and
providing developers with easy to use API for simple ENS integration and Subname management.
Please see slides for breakdown of everything have completed and are working on covering Platform, Tech Docs, Integrations & Parternships and More: Namespace Q1 Updates - Google Slides

10-20 Devs were in Rio to learn about Ethereum/ENS, will update more next week
Gasless DNS: Want to be able to create subdomain without paying for gas, can use through CloudFlare, reach out to Slobo if need assistance, guide found in docs
Make low cost and high throughput (millions of daily actions, thousands concurrently)
Looking at building ENS Chain
Why ENS Chain: No competition for block space, Fine grained control of gas price economics, Governance independance, Control our own decentralization tradeoffs
Reviewed many rollup stacks: Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Polygonzk and created positives and negatives for each
Registry Design Possibilities:
L1 + L2
Full migration to L2
Migrate bridge registry design (New L1 registry + L2 Full Migration Registry)
Just in design phase, looking for community feedback and expect lots of discussion

By minting and wrapping a subdomain called ‘groups’ on your ENS domain and sending it to the ensauth contract you can onboard your ens domain to a group management system. Afterwards, ENS can be used for all your identity and access management needs. The whole process can be comfortably managed through our webapp.
We currently support group and user creation, assignment and deletion. The groups and group memberships are made visible on the ens subdomain as records. Especially for organisations with multiple mostly independent contracts - possibly on different chains - group resolvers can unify identity and access management to make user onboarding and offboarding easier as well as more transparent.
On-chain registry where each human can validate one ENS through WorldCoin validation of identity (since WorldCoin scans your eyeball to verify a person as unique)
