1. ENS Labs Updates @gregskril

Launched integration with Phantom Wallet!

Yesterday conducted Twitter Space with OP Team on EVM Gateway

Art Basel happening this weekend. ENS Labs partnering with NFT Project for BBQ

‘Manager app suggests Goerli’ bug on app.ens.domains was fixed

Soon will be able to verify contracts on Arbitrum through EVM gateway!

  • Cheaper way to update and manage ENS data
  • Note: Project result of hackathon, shows importance of hosting. Will continue hosting as have high ROI despite costs

2. Provider Streams

Submissions can be found here: [EP4.9][Social] Select providers for EP4.7 streams

3. Project Highlights

@clowes.eth from https://unruggablenames.com

  • Register and resolve subnames from L2, currently OP Stack (Sepolia is OP testnet)
  • Set renewal controllers, guarantee similar prices year-to-year
  • This demo will set up from ENS test chain (L2): https://ens-chain-sepolia.unruggablenames.com/eco-demo.eth
  • Documentation on Mirror can be found here: 'ENS Chain' — clowes.eth
  • Planning on running own network of gateways
  • ENS could run on an app chain, want to test out idea and seek feedback from ecosystem stakeholders in the pursuit of scaling ENS. Expense of chain is posting proofs to L1
  • Question: How handle abuse/impersonation at subname level? Answer: No governing body from impersonation, difficult/philosophical question, requires additional thought and research
  • Question: How will resolve collisions? Answer: Can’t acquire domain if already owned on L1. Can’t register on L1 and L2 at the same time. Researching edge cases around time between registering on L2 and proving on L1
  • Thoughts based on above questions: Iteratively working on/thinking about/researching running names on L2 directly. Would make acquiring cheaper and quicker. But security tradeoffs need to be considered and addressed

@lightwalker.eth from namehashlabs.org

  • Mission is to help ENS grow and bring ENS into apps that millions are using
  • Incentivize through proposal of referral program
  • Temp Check doc on referral program can be found here: [Temp Check] ENS Referral Program - Google Docs
