3. Project Highlights

EthSign

ENSIP: Signature Validation for ENS Domains is already posted to the forum with the latest version of EIP-6066.
- EIP-6066 focuses on enabling NFTs to carry their own signatures, essentially representing approval. The idea is to utilize ENS domains as identities to allow individuals to approve hashes using their names.
- This concept could have various applications, such as using ENS as an organizational management tool or for creating organizational charts.
- For example, a CFO position could have the ENS name ‘cfo.ethsign.eth’, and the signatures made by the CFO would be tied to the name/position, rather than the person. In essence having role-based signatures.
- Jack encourages feedback and ideas from the community

NFT Resolver
- raffy shared a contract that resolves NFTs to ENS domains
- Ex. If implemented by the domain owner. Doodle #1 of the Doodles collection could resolve to the owners ENS address with 1.doodle.eth
- Check out the NFTResolver slides
- NFTResolver offers a really cheap way for NFT projects to use wildcard resolvers & ENS. As well as a way to programmatically use any onchain database for things like dynamics avatars, where data is dynamic to anything onchain.
- Contract is experimental and raffy is open to ideas
* Explore, test, and reach out - Read & engage with the forum thread - NFTResolver: On-chain Wildcard NFT Owner-tracking Resolver
- Like & retweet “on-chain wildcard owner-tracking gasless Resolver w/built-in avatars”
