Sepolia Developments
- People have been asking, and now it’s ready:
- Github PR: Deploy to Sepolia - core contracts are up & available.
RECAP: ENSIP14 Recognised - Dune Dashboard
-
ENSIP14 is a way for developers to add onchain analytics and note onchain where registrations are coming from.
- While ENSIP14 has some concerns with other things, it is sufficient in supporting contract calls in Dune.
- Check out the dune dashboard by @taytems (ENS | Twitter)
- Furthercontext; the ‘unknown source’ prior to May 2023, accounts for registrations before labs and many others had implemented this.
ENS Labels by Node (ENS names with most subnames) - Dune Dashboard
- The community was requesting a way to view 2LDs with the most subnames - this is now available via Dune Dashboard.
-
Further context: the first two rows represent count of .eth 2LDs on the ‘eth’ (TLD), and primary names records set as ‘addr.reverse’.
