Resolvers & Latency

🌱 ENS Ecosystem

This post is a work in process to summarize the resolvers that exist in ENS and their latency.

Any methodology that attempts to test latency will be flawed. This is no exception.

Uniswap 3.18s kev.uni.eth 58

So What?

If latency matters go ahead and import your DNS. Most CCIP-read resolvers work quite well from a latency perspective with uni.eth being a potential exception.

Why no NameSys?

Happy to add, what’s a good example name for testing?

Great info here! Definitely important to track high latency resolver/gateways and get them up to speed (pun intended)

Super cool initiative! Would love to see the JustaName resolver added as well if possible! an example name that can be used would be: yodl.eth

I also maintain a list here, it would be good to add all of the various resolvers implementations coupled with a known stable resolution.

This inspired me to build a small fun project, that I also used to try out vibe coding (never again)

ResolverlENS

  • Contains a list of common resolvers
  • Shows ENS names pointing to a resolver address
  • Displays ENSIPs supported by different resolver implementation, with a small description of each ENSIP
