Notes by @daylon.eth

Notes

A) ENS Project Highlights
dm3 - dm3.network

  • dm3 started last year with a goal to solve in the problems of web 2 messaging
  • web2 siloes data, and users are not able to communicate from one application to the other
  • dm3 can send messages to anyone across the entire ecosystem without
  • dm3 is free and open source.

Contact Steffen directly on Twitter or join the discussion on the ENS forum to contribute to dm3.

How do you view XMTP, Push, nftychat, and other messaging players in the space?

We have talked with them and we are thinking about how to bring protocols together so that we have interoperability in the future.

J Eth | eth.id
eth.id is a service that allows you to have a web 2 domain that is identical to your web3 domain. It utilizes DNS-ENS integration to allow your site to be accessed from any browser.

New features:

  • create a little score card for yourself.
  • a live price update feature coming soon
  • create a showcase link to display any NFTs that you have.

For now anyone can claim the eth.id for your ENS name that you already own for 0.02 ETH.

Re: ENS widget
Any plans for integrating OpenSea’s API or another marketplace’s API for putting an ENS up for sale in the widget?

The plan is to integrate any site that allows the sale of your ENS name.

What if you own the ENS and the DNS name?
Adding to development roadmap.

If anyone has any further ideas, reach on Twitter or on nftychat in the main ENS channel

Greg | ENS Widget
The repo is open if you want to look at it. If you have any feedback or run into any errors, please contact Twitter.

Is the identifier that this uses locked or can it be changed?
When you register an ENS name, part of the process is using a random string known as a secret. What we can do to track registrations on-chain is to change a part of that string to something identifiable. It is included and very easy to configure.

B) Funding Request is live on tally.xyz
Vote is live on Tally

C) ENS Fairy
As a reminder this is focused on abandoned names that have entered the premium period (starts at 100m going down to 0 over time)

  • Not buying buying last names like slobodnik.eth, if uniswap.eth came up we would consider acquring that
  • Delegates seem to have mostly a positive on this pilot program

D) Review any upcoming events with ENS involvement
ethDenver – IRL planning update @Limes
March 2nd we will be having an ENS event at the Cooper Lounge.

Space is limited and is expected to be full.

E) ENS core updates
We will have a UI update next week from Dom.

There is pull request right now that makes a small change to registration and delegation in the name wrapper.

F) Open space for additional topics

Is there a planned improvement proposal planned to be written for the new name manager and for the name wrapper?

Backend changes usually aren’t ENS IPs.

Mailchain will be holding an event at ETHDenver on Feb 25th

Are there plans to release the V3 app before the NameWrapper is released?

The final version of the NameWrapper is being tested on Goerli.

alpha.ens.domains update coming soon

Attendance:
184.eth, 5pence, Acadian.eth, accessor, Blockdepth.eth, Cap, Chris Powers, Coltron, Daylon, Eduardo, Greg Skriloff, Gwei Man, hellenstans.eth, J Eth, Josiah D, King, Limes, Marcus Martinez, Megan Farby, Michael Bonner, Prem Makeig, Sasha DJ, Shaik Hidayath, Slobo, Steffen Kux, Syd Mead-Limo, Tyler Cicrello, Vincent, Wolfram, Yambo, YungSB

A) Walkthrough the new and improved front-end for the name-wrapper on goerli by Dom & Leon

Leon, Frontend Dev at ENS Labs
Dom, UX/UI Designer at ENS Labs

  • The V3 ENS App preview is on testnet at alpha.ens.domains
  • The goal of the name wrapper is to make it easier to understand for new users, while retaining information for experienced ones
  • In the ENS registration flow, what previously required a minimum of four transactions (commit, reveal, set primary name, set records) now only requires two.

ENS is holding a bug bash next week and there will be rewards. More details will be announced soon. If you find a bug or have general feedback, click the “Feedback” bubble on alpha.ens.domains

B) Project Highlight

XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol)

  • Building a protocol for secure messaging in web3 and utilizing ENS

Announcement: ENS Grants – Ecosystem Round 4

The Ecosystem Small Grants round is open for application! 1 ETH will be awarded to the top five voted projects that follow the submission guidelines. For a more nuanced perspective on what projects qualify for the Ecosystem round, check out this discussion.

The goal of the Ecosystem Working Group is to create a flywheel effect within the ENS ecosystem by seeding development teams that build and attract more users who then build more cool things

A) ENS Project Highlights

@Julieshi.eth | ORG3
ORG3 is an ENS subdomains integrated, organization management tool.

Demo:

We expect subdomains to become massivley adopted with the advent of the name wrapper, the question we keep asking is, “how can we drive mass-adoption of ENS through subdomains”? Org3 is a platform that allows you to set parameters around how you want subdomains to be minted, as well as set permissions for those roles. The next steps are to develop DAO tooling that is intuitive, secure and accessible.
– Julie

Matthew Fontana | streamr.network
streamr.network is a decentalized protocol for data pipelines, network analytics and messaging. ENS domains are helpful to humans in this instance when the source address has a ENS domain associated with it. Streamr is looking to release their new chat app with token gating for ENS domains soon and looking for beta testers at the link below.

@pskalin | Fractal
Fractal is business-to-business payment/invoicing platform that integrates ENS for documentation and security purposes. Pavel is looking for feedback and his dev post can be found here.

@hidayath | 1W3
1W3 is a no-code decentrlized website builder for ENS Domains. You can build and publish your own blog on decentralized web; stored on IPFS using your ENS domain

B) ENS IRL

ETHDENVER: March 2nd event; please let limes.eth know if you want an invite to the ETH Denver event as space will likely be tight
