  • 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

@hidayth.eth presenting mywallet.is

  • 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

3. Budget

    • March 15 – 17, 2024

6. Open space for service providers

Last year DAO approved funding for 9 service providers; developers building special products/projects for ENS

  • @lightwalker.eth from namehashlabs.org

8. Open Space for Additional Topics

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

Additional information on the discussion around intricacies of current DNS system

Responsible integration of DNS into Web3 being worked on; needs to mirror life cycle of DNS name

GoDaddy Partnership is live!

Working on improving blog

Gearing up for events

  • EthDenver
  • EthGlobal

2. Project Highlights

  • Offchain infra for ENS and Ethereum
  • https://lite.namesys.xyz
    • Feedback that UI was complicated, wanted to take away complicated (pro) features for lite client
    • Now simple option to store records securely on Web2 server, very accessible to new users, one-time transaction at https://lite.namesys.xyz
    • https://app.namesys still hosts pro client
  • IPNS.eth
    • 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

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

  • Going through comments, looking at edge cases
  • Please read through draft (fifth iteration) and post any questions in the thread
  • Q: Do partners such as Coinbase, Uniswap etc. have input on standards
  • A: Behind the scenes get input, want to ensure one large organization doesn’t write standards just for themselves, need standards for ecosystem.
  • A: Let’s get Telegram group together so all stakeholders can sync outside of the ENS forum thread

3. Project Highlights @moritz

Mortiz Boullenger from https://fluidkey.com

  • Production ready alpha on Optimism
  • Problem trying to solve: When want onchain privacy usually just spin up new wallet, difficult to manage.
  • With Fluidkey, each payment sent to your private Fluidkey ENS is automatically directed to a new address that only you can control
  • Manage full balance in the Fluidkey dashboard and send payments without having to move funds between addresses
  • Q: Is stealth address generation centralized?
  • A: Yes, FluidKey API generating addresses on behalf of users, have thoughts on paths to make this decentralized

@gregskril presenting personal project

  • Rewrite as Cloudflare Worker by gskril · Pull Request #3 · gskril/ens-api · GitHub
  • API that does stand -alone services on the side including avatar optimizations and batch resolution
  • If want to resolve 100 names on a page (e.g. leaderboard), this makes this batch resolution simple
  • Sometime avatar files are massive, proxy tool resizes and strips malicious data from files
  • Follow along and reach out if find tools interesting
  • Comment from @lightwalker.eth: Would be cool to see stronger caching of ENS avatars than what service currently provides
  • Q from Thomas: Any denial of service in past from really large ENS profile photo avatars?

1. ENS Labs Updates

  • Very productive ENS offsite meeting
  • ETHGlobal went very well, booth constantly busy
  • Next few weeks will have finalists/winners from hackathon present on call
  • Almost a dozen new developers joined ENS Dev telegram group

2. TOKENIZATION LLC @ENSPunks.eth

  • tokenization - 1W3
  • 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

  • Infrastructure built allowing all ENS hackers to receive ENS names during EthGlobal: https://twitter.com/ensdomains/status/1769760881427042636
  • Getting ENS in hands of hackers likely makes them inclined to include ENS in their projects, potential huge payoff

3. Project Highlights - ETH London

Mattis presenting https://www.ensauth.xyz

  • 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.
