7. Open Space for Additional Topics

ENS-Chain Discussion
@premm.eth asked for discussion on Coin Telegraph article: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-name-service-open-building-in-house-layer-2-ens-director and ENS L2 chain in general

  • Article on ENS Chain proposal from @clowes.eth: 'ENS Chain' — clowes.eth
  • Forum Discussion on ENS Chain: 'ENS Chain' - A POC for an OP Stack based L2 solution
  • @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 ENS on Optimism proposal
