@serenae | ENS Profile | Twitter

  • tools.ens.domains demo
    • This site contains extra tools that enhance the experience for ENS users and developers - including sidetools not yet included in manager app, that dont make sense in the app, or may have specific use cases /are edge cases. Tools include:
      • Check an ENS name:
        • Gives a birds eye view of an ENS name: including checking for normalisation, fuses, subnames, the resolver details, as well as links to support docs, explainers, etc. This tool also works to show offchain names.
          Try clicking on the many different buttons & warnings.
        • Use case: Checking names on secondary markets to determine name normalisation, burnt fuses, subnames, and name state.
      • Set ENS Primary name:
        • Allows setting & clearing of primary name
        • Use case: Etherscan is experiencing an issue displaying primary names;this tool ‘kick-starts’ their system into working
      • Unwrap an ENS name:
        • This tool works for unwrapping 2LDs, subnames & DNSimported names
      • Set ENS Manager (Set Public Resolver Manager):
        • Manager role doesn’t (yet) show in the Manager App for wrapped names. This tool assigns manager for a name, and/or a separate address to manaage all names in a wallet. Also has the revoke function.
      • Set ENS Records:
        • Complementing ‘Set ENS Manager’ tool, to allow public resolver manager to update records
    • @lightwalker.eth suggested a dashboard for community created tools
      • a separate channel will be setup in discord chat.ens.domains - stay tuned for details.

4. Project Highlights [corbin]

Corbin Page | Twitter | github

  • usernames.club
    • usernames.club focuses on username NFTs; and provides a naming service and representation of membership to bespoke communities - powered by ENS CCIP Read & resolve in wallets under usr.id
    • This involves offchain resolver, handling address-to-name mapping off-chain while maintaining on-chain ownership. All data is read from NFTs and the code is open source on GitHub
    • Learn about usernames.club in this tweet
    • Read the full write up Introducing Usernames.club
  • patchwallet.com
    • Patchwallet is a web3 wallet attached to every Twitter, email, & phone number. A ‘zero onboarding’ wallet to send NFTs/tokens to your friends, family & customers. It utilizes the ENS protocol and CCIP to query Twitter usernames, phone numbers, and emails.
    • Offering deterministic account abstraction wallets that are consistent across chains and compatible with web3 wallets. It facilitates NFT gifting, airdrops, and supports telephone integration.
    • Check out Patchwallet on twitter
  • In general discussion:
    • Corbin shared the need for more tools & off-chain resolver templates for those launching Layer 2 solutions
      • Additionally, tools, templates, and information on off-chain rights (CCIP Deferral Right (EIP5559)) are essential for CCIP read projects launching on Layer 2 solutions
    • Corbin suggested that all ecosystems launching rollups should closely align themselves with ENS for maximum benefits and opportunities
    • @Gregskril has developed a reliable off-chain resolver contract (offchain.ens.gregskril.com), with both docs and repo in the footer
    • Projects are encouraged to apply for grants; for added benefit of visibility and getting involved with the ENS community. Ecosystem meetings also being great for sharing updates & new features
