What do you want to build on ENS:
This proposal seeks funding for the development, operational costs, user acquisition, and support of 1W3, a platform enhancing ENS domain utility by enabling easy creation of engaging dwebsites, contributing to wider ENS adoption and user engagement.

We are on a mission to unlock the full potential of ENS domains. Currently, with 800K unique participants holding ENS names, only 22,500 of them have active dwebsites. which points to the challenges users face in deploying and designing their dwebsites. Our approach is focused on transforming ENS domains into foundational building blocks for decentralised identities (DIDs), where each domain is connected to a content hash, revealing a unique digital persona.

Over the past year, our focus has been the simplification of ‘link-in-bio’ pages, making it possible for users to connect their ENS domains with personalised and informative dwebsite that serves as a central hub for their decentralised identity (DID). Building upon this foundation, we are expanding our scope to include comprehensive blogging tools, static sites and customizable templates.

Decentralised Blogging:
Using 1W3, creating a blog similar to vitalik.eth.limo becomes straightforward and seamless, allowing ENS users to engage with their audience through rich, long-form content that is as easy to publish as it is to read. ensinterviews.eth.limo, the pilot blog created by @evanmoyer.eth, serves as a prime example of the capabilities of 1W3. This platform debuted with the publication of an Interview featuring @ethlimo.eth, showcasing the potential of decentralised blogging.

Static sites:
Using 1W3, will support a range of static websites, from professional portfolios, and resumes to business landing pages, interactive forms, and marketing lead generation pages. These static sites will be optimised for performance, accessibility, and search engine visibility which are key factors for widespread adoption and utility of dwebsites.

Customisable templates:
Expanding upon our vision, 1W3 is also dedicated to providing a diverse array of aesthetically pleasing and customizable templates. These templates are designed to cater to a wide range of needs and styles, ensuring that each dwebsite can reflect the unique identity and purpose of its owner. From sleek and professional to vibrant and creative, our templates offer the flexibility and variety necessary for users to create a dwebsite that resonates with their personal brand or business ethos.

In addition to these, we are continuously exploring new opportunities within the ENS ecosystem. Our commitment extends beyond current projects; we are constantly on the lookout for emerging challenges that align with our vision. This proactive approach has already led to innovative projects like “eth.lk,” “1W3 - ENS Website Resolver,” “ENSrecords.xyz,” and “SetAvatar.eth,” each addressing specific needs within the ENS community.

Past experience working on ENS:
At 1W3, we have developed a robust and user-friendly platform that significantly enhances the functionality and accessibility of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains. Our past experience and achievements include:

What do you want to build on ENS?

As ENS grows in popularity, with thousands of supporting apps and hundreds of thousands of users in web3, there’s a pressing need for an ENS hub to make sense of this expansion.

To address this, I propose two key initiatives: 1) Creating a user-friendly web application to showcase and explore apps, tools and services that support or are built on ENS, and 2) Establishing “ENS Hub” on Twitter and Farcaster to engage with the community and share insights, updates, and success stories around apps building on top of ENS or that have integrated ENS.

1. ENS Ecosystem Page

I want to develop a web application that will serve as a central hub for discovering and exploring the diverse apps, tools, and services within the ENS landscape. The Ecosystem Page will begin with a comprehensive mapping of the current ENS ecosystem and will grow over time.

Some of its key Features:

• Detailed App/Service Profiles: Offering in-depth information on each app and service part of the ENS ecosystem, emphasizing their integration with ENS or how they support it.
• Search Engine: Fast and efficient discovery of ENS-related apps, tools, and services thanks to a built-in search engine.
• Filters and Sorting: Allowing users to navigate through the ENS ecosystem by filtering by blockchain and type of app/tool/service - such as wallets, browsers, NFT marketplaces, and more.
• Mobile Responsiveness: Designed with mobile users in mind, ensuring all features — from filters and sorting to the search engine — work seamlessly on various devices.
• Self-registration: Allowing developers to add their app/tool/service to the Ecosystem Page.

2. ENS Hub on Twitter & Farcaster

In addition to the ENS Ecosystem Page, it’s crucial to engage with the broader Twitter and Farcaster communities. To achieve this, I plan to set up dedicated ‘ENS Hub’ pages on these platforms. These pages will not only complement the web app but also play a vital role in sharing updates about ENS, showcasing success stories, and keeping the community informed and involved. This approach is aimed at fostering a more interconnected and informed ENS community.

Conclusion

Combining the ENS Ecosystem Page with active engagement on Twitter and Farcaster, aims to enhance accessibility and navigation within the ENS ecosystem. By making it easier to explore and understand ENS, I seek to drive broader adoption and deepen the overall comprehension of the diverse applications and opportunities ENS offers.

---

Past experience working on ENS:

I am well-suited to lead the development of an ENS ecosystem page, for two primary reasons:

1. Web3xplorer Creator: I created Web3xplorer, a free directory cataloging over 900 web3 apps from Ethereum and its layer 2 solutions. More than just a directory, it provides detailed app descriptions, features, previews, and direct links, all in an easy-to-navigate, mobile-optimized web app with a robust search engine and filters.
2. Skills and Passion: My background as a Business Analyst in large digital projects and as a software developer gives me a unique mix of business insight and technical know-how. Coupled with my active involvement in web3 since 2017, I’m committed to building intuitive, user-friendly solutions that encourage wider engagement with web3 and ENS.

Additionally, understanding the importance of community engagement, I plan to collaborate with a professional experienced in managing and growing online communities. This will ensure our presence on Twitter and Farcaster, through the “ENS Hub” profiles, is not only informative but also actively engages with and grows the ENS community.

---

Size of team and commitment

The project will be driven by a compact and specialized team of three:

1. Lead Developer (Myself): As the Lead Developer, I will dedicate my full-time efforts to both the front-end and back-end development of the project. My role is to ensure that the ENS ecosystem page is not only technically robust but also aligns seamlessly with user needs and expectations.
2. Designer (Contract Basis): Upon funding, I plan to hire a skilled designer on a contract basis. Their expertise will be instrumental not just in creating a visually appealing interface but also in ensuring an optimal user experience (UX). Their periodic involvement will be strategically aligned with different phases of the project’s design, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
3. Copywriter / Community Builder (3-4 days/week): Additionally, with the funding, I will bring on board a proficient copywriter who is also well-versed in web3 and experienced in community building and social media management. Their role will be multifaceted: crafting engaging content for the ENS ecosystem page, managing the dedicated Twitter/Farcaster accounts, and actively engaging with our audience.

This team composition ensures a balanced approach, with each member contributing essential skills for the project’s success.

What do you want to build on ENS?

We are dedicated to enhancing the safety of Ethereum for users through the development of censorship resistant, open-source (with permissive license), and privacy-focused software. Our flagship product, The Interceptor, is a browser extension available for Firefox, Chrome, and Brave.

The Interceptor provides users with a comprehensive explanation of their transactions before they sign them. For a brief overview of the extensions capabilities, watch our informative video on YouTube
The Interceptor counteracts scammers by simulating fraudulent transactions, thereby exposing the scam to users. As an example, consider this deceptive page falsely asserting that your ENS name is set to expire tomorrow (which is untrue!). When the user attempts to extend, the application instead initiates a transaction designed to purloin assets from their account. Our tool simulates this scenario, revealing that the proposed transaction is clearly divergent from what the app presented to the user.

In the unfortunate event that your private key is compromised, our tooling also can help you recover some of your assets:
So a scammer stole your tokens and is running a sweeper bot on your hacked Ethereum account - Part 1
So a scammer stole your tokens and is running a sweeper bot on your hacked Ethereum account - Part 2

Current products (all functional on mainnet):
The Interceptor (Transaction simulator extension)
Bouquet (Simple tool to send The Interceptor’s simulator stacks to mainnet)
NFT sender (Simple tool to send NFT’s)
Lunaria (Simple tool to send ETH and ERC20’s)

Along with our general team goals of improving the safety and security of Ethereum for all users, we also aim to improve our ENS integration. Currently, The Interceptor can only extract the ENS name from wrapped ENS NFTs and display it to the user. Our upcoming plans include incorporating additional ENS features such as:

1. When user is interacting with ENS app or any third party ENS management tool, we’ll present a nice simulation that shows exactly what the user is doing before signing

2. When a user is interacting with an ENS address, we will show what it resolves into if the user approves off-chain lookup of the name (since we care a lot about privacy, we require explicit approval from the user before making any external requests).

3. Allow the user to add ENS addresses to their The Interceptor address book.

4. Provide all of the above when using a Gnosis SAFE to manage an ENS name.

Past experience working on Ethereum:
Our co-founder, Micah Zoltu, is a distinguished Ethereum developer. He has contributed significantly to projects such as Augur, served as an EIP editor, created EIP-2718, and is a significant contributor to Ethereum core dev work. Micah also founded http://serv.eth that provides support to a number of Ethereum projects.

For the past year and a half, we’ve dedicated our efforts to developing The Interceptor and the other associated tools.

On top of working on our products, we work with a wider Ethereum ecosystem to make Ethereum a better place for everyone. Currently we are working on getting the eth_multicallV1 JSON-RPC method to all mainnet compatible Ethereum clients. Here’s the proposed execution spec: add `eth_multicallV1` by KillariDev · Pull Request #484 · ethereum/execution-apis · GitHub and here’s a presentation that we held to Ethereum core developers and others in Devconnect Istanbul about the topic: eth_multicall istanbul - Google Slides. We plan to continue our work to improve the overall Ethereum ecosystem.

Size of team and commitment
We currently have a team of two full time developers and one part time developer. We plan to grow our team to 4 full time developers with the ENS Grant.

Other notes (optional field):
There’s currently a bug in The Interceptor with ENS that makes it clunky to login to ENS site with. We have a fix for this, which we aim to deploy next week.

All our development happens in the open for everyone in The Interceptor discord to see. Please feel free to join the discussion and ask us anything!

Summary for Snapshot vote

Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP) is a social graph protocol for Ethereum accounts that uses and complements ENS, set to launch mid-Q1. ENS needs a social graph to remain competitive with other social graph projects that have their own name and profile systems that compete with ENS. We’re closely aligned in vision and values with the ENS community, we’re building and running ENS infrastructure (e.g. our own metadata service), and most of our launch partners are from the ENS community. Our team has long ties to the ENS community: brantly.eth (previously led the ENS core team; ENS DAO delegate; creator of Sign-in with Ethereum), cory.eth (ENS DAO delegate; creator of OpenAvatar; previously developer at Carbon Robotics, Amazon), and esm.eth (built a decentralized social media on top of ENS, winner of ETHGlobal Hackathon, Web3 Jam 2021; previously a developer at LlamaFolio).

What do you want to build on ENS?

We’re keeping ENS competitive by building a social graph protocol for Ethereum accounts that uses and complements ENS, which we call the Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP).

This includes its smart contracts, L2 support, web app manager, and offchain indexer for fast access to EFP data, among other things.

How our work helps ENS:

• Adds social graph functionality to existing Ethereum identity stack, keeping ENS competitive with other social graph projects that have their own name and profile systems that compete with ENS
• Heavy use of ENS in EFP manager web app
• ENS support in our public API service
• Ensure EFP integrations also use ENS (see our integration demo)
• Running our own ENS metadata service, may make publicly available with public API
• Plan to eventually offer users free subdomains and avatar-setting feature in EFP manager

Aligned with ENS
Web3 is the future of the Internet, and this includes web3 identity. We’re designing and building EFP with the intention that, like ENS, it is a new open, credibly neutral, public good protocol of the Internet. We support the elements of the existing Ethereum identity stack, and we view it as a strength that the various elements are separate projects since it means each element can stand or fall on its merits, as opposed to the entire stack being an all-or-nothing proposition.

Our values, vision, and interests are closely aligned with those of the ENS community. We’re appreciative of the support and interest of the ENS community in the development of EFP thus far. We have 24 launch partners so far, many of whom are from the ENS community.

Past experience working on ENS:

brantly.eth: previously led the ENS core team; ENS DAO delegate; creator of Sign-in with Ethereum

cory.eth: ENS DAO delegate; creator of OpenAvatar; previously developer at Carbon Robotics, Amazon

esm.eth: built a decentralized social media on top of ENS, winner of ETHGlobal Hackathon (Web3 Jam 2021); previously a developer at LlamaFolio, a Defillama sibling product

We have the skills and experience necessary to successfully develop and grow a new web3 identity protocol, as well as build ENS tools as needed.

Size of team and commitment

There are currently three of us (listed above). We’re committed to EFP for the long-term as a new protocol of the Internet. If we get this funding, we may hire a fourth team member.

Our mission with Forge is to create tools and applications that not only cater to the current demands of the ENS community but also pave the way for new possibilities and broader adoption of ENS.

The projects we are initiating under the Forge banner are designed to address key areas of need within the ENS ecosystem, offering solutions that are both innovative and practical. These projects will not only enhance the functionality and user experience of ENS but also contribute significantly to its growth and widespread adoption. With a dedicated team and a clear vision, Forge is poised to be a catalyst for change and progress within the ENS landscape.

Forge.Node

Forge.Node, is a comprehensive data platform designed to simplify and enhance ENS project development. It integrates on-chain, off-chain, and secondary market data into an accessible API, empowering developers to effortlessly tap into a rich data repository. This tool is focused on enabling quick development within the ENS ecosystem, making it an invaluable resource for developers looking to build with efficiency and creativity.

Forge.Substore

Forge.Substore is a dynamic smart contract that enables efficient creation and management of ENS subdomain stores. It allows users to set up a customized store for their parent ENS name, streamlining the process of minting multiple subdomains in one go. Key features include the ability to set a start time for sales, limit the number of names mintable through the contract, and determine pricing (with a free option available). This solution operates entirely on-chain, offering transparency and security.

Already successfully utilized by various projects, Forge.Substore demonstrates its utility and effectiveness:

• DEV Category: 329 subdomains minted, priced between ~$5-25. (https://ens.vision/categories/dev)
• 10K ETHs Category: 10,000 subdomains minted, priced at $30 each. (https://ens.vision/categories/10k-eths)
• Email Category: 1,541 subdomains minted, priced at $50 each. (https://ens.vision/categories/email)

Forge.Registrar

Forge.Registrar is a smart contract, its primary function is to enable bulk minting and renewal of domains, including both NameWrapper names and standard ENS names, in a single operation. This contract stands out for its high gas efficiency, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale domain operations.

Key features of Forge.Registrar include:

• Custom Fee Setting: Providers can set custom fees, providing flexibility and control over their domain transactions.
• Custom Revenue Sharing Program: It offers a unique feature that allows providers to implement a custom revenue-sharing program, adding an extra layer of utility and financial model atop the standard ENS framework.

Past experience working on ENS:

Our journey with ENS has been marked by significant achievements and contributions, showcasing our expertise and commitment to the ENS ecosystem:

1. ENS.Vision Marketplace Launch: Since its inception in March 2022, ENS.Vision has become a pivotal marketplace in the ENS space. It generated an impressive turnover of around $70 million USD in 2022, reflecting our ability to create and manage high-impact projects successfully.
2. Bulk Registrar Usage: We’ve registered several hundred thousand ENS names through our BulkReg Contract.
3. Namewrapper Integration: We were the first vertical to fully integrate with the Namewrapper contract, demonstrating our capability to adopt and implement new technologies rapidly.
4. ENS Vision Custom Name Manager: Our development of a custom name manager, positioned as an alternative to ENS.app, underscores our expertise in creating user-centric and efficient tools. This platform not only enhances the ENS user experience but also introduces advanced features like bulk renewals, the ability to bulk renew domains to a specific date, setting your resolver, controller and also managing name records. These functionalities demonstrate our commitment to providing practical, time-saving solutions within the ENS ecosystem.
5. Subdomain Stores: As exemplified in projects like the DEV, 10K ETHs, and Email categories, our Substore has facilitated the minting of thousands of subdomains, proving our ability to deliver solutions that meet the community’s needs.

What do you want to build on ENS?

Vision: Make digital (onchain) identity a new industry standard in crypto, replacing wallet addresses with ENS Names and Subnames (universal and portable wallet names, profiles, identifiers, usernames).

Mission: Make it easy for ENS name owners to become digital identity providers, make minting digital identity accessible everywhere, and get it in the hands of every crypto user.

Goal: Build and provide tools, API, custom-built solutions, and an easy-to-use platform (no coding skill required) in order to handle setting up, customizing, and issuing Subnames for existing and new crypto users.

We have been actively engaged with ENS DAO and the Protocol for over a year, and Namespace is entirely built on the ENS protocol.

Namespace is built as a simple-to-use platform that any ENS name owner can use to issue Subnames in a variety of ways and for different purposes, regardless of their technical knowledge and expertise. It allows Name owners to issue free or paid Subnames either through the Namespace platform or through their own Apps, Websites, or Blogs. This capability enables ENS name owners to offer and monetize Digital Identity registration services, turning every ENS Name owner into a Digital Identity provider.

Namespace is designed to remove complexity associated with ENS names for non-tech users, by providing a user-friendly interface that abstracts away technical details which improves the ease of utilization of ENS names and enhances digital identity for projects in Web3.

Product Suite

What have we built so far?

These are all the tools, features, and cool use cases we came up with after a year of working on Namespace. Each Use Case represents a different ENS User group that wants to issue Subnames in a different way.

Use Case #1

Unruggable Subnames for Individual ENS name holders – easily gift or sell Subnames (digital identity) to anyone.

We are someone who truly believes in the power of the ENS community as an onboarding vehicle for mass adoption. Channeling their efforts towards onboarding new users and providing them with Subnames is something we want to actively work on.

Who is it for: ENS name owners that have a neck for entrepreneurship and want to onboard users to crypto and potentially make money doing it.

Status: Already built, more improvements on the way.

Future improvements:

• ENS name and subname trading – enable simple trading experience for all Names and Subnames.
• Implement Subname renting – Enable renting with yearly renewals for Subnames.
• Implement L2 Subnames – L2 minted and settled Subnames through ENS EVM Gateway with CCIP and reduce the barrier to mass adoption by decreasing gas prices.

Use Case #2

Community Subnames – Brand awareness through collective and cohesive onchain Identity.

Collective and cohesive identity experience for PFP collections, DAOs, Web3 Communities, Private groups, etc. to increase brand awareness, unity, and status. Enabled thourgh token-gated minting so that only certain NFT holders can mint certain Subnames.

Who is it for: Communities, private groups, DAOs, clubs, etc.

Status: Fully functional on Goerli. Works well with ERC721.

Future improvements: Need to add support for ERC1155 tokens and additional features to enrich the experience such as revocability if NFT is sold, etc.

Use Case #3

Namespace Widget – Become an ENS Digital Identity Provider in less than 2 minutes. (sell subnames from your own ENS Names on your own Blog or a Website).

The idea behind Widget (and Namespace itself) is to create the ability so that anyone can become a Digital Identity Provider in less than 2 minutes with one line of code. Widget makes this easy to connect with anyone’s Blog, Website, Community page, etc. With a little additional modification, it can have a different (other than standard) design and it can be designed to reflect the brand identity of the Website or Provider who’s integrating it.

Who is it for: Blogs, Educational websites, Web3 general websites, any website that has an ENS name and wants to issue/sell/gift digital identity (subnames) from their website.

Status: Built and tested on Goerli.

Test it yourself here: Sample Page – namespace-blog

Add it to your website: you can test it by adding it to your website: <script type="module" src="https://namespace-widgets.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/namespace-vite-widget/bundle.js"></script>

Future improvements:

• Launch it on the WordPress Marketplace as a Plugin so it can be installed and set up easily with no coding required.
• Allow the owners who implement it to be able to show and sell subnames from their ENS Names only.

Use Case #4

Namespace (Wallet) API – Free (L2) Universal Profiles for Wallets

Simple API for easy integration and issuance of subnames on L2 (OP initially) with optional Account Abstraction integration to facilitate sponsored transactions so the users claiming Subnames can claim them for free (sponsored by the Wallet provider).

Who is it for: Wallets and Games primarily, but also anyone that wants an API for L2 subname management

Status: Being built with one wallet provider

Future improvements: Expand to other L2s and create White-label solution for wallets.

Past experience working on ENS

We’ve been building Namespace on ENS for the last year and a half now. Our entire platform is already fully functional on Goerli and around 80% of the product suite I mentioned above is already built and being tested on Goerli.

A demo of our dapp with allianceDAO.eth used as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnfMP0wxCak

Some stuff we built:

• Onchain Public Registry with all listed ENS names that have Subnames available for minting.
• Registration front end – easy way to find all available Subnames from listed ENS names + ability to register ENS Names
• Register ENS to someone else’s Wallet address
• Set primary name during registration
• Free or paid subnames minting
• Browsing available Subnames among listed ENS names
• Customize subname selling price based on length
• Reserve some subnames for yourself when listing ENS name
• Set a deadline when you want to start minting subnames
• Whitelist wallets you want to give the ability to mint subnames for free
• Whitelist only those wallets that you want to be able to mint subnames
• Token-gated listing and minting so that only certain NFT holders can mint subname
• Updating onchain text records
• Custom ‘Name Description’ and ‘Subname holder benefits’ text records
• Automatically burning fuses based on the use case ENS name is used for – not requiring end users to know what to do if they want to sell unruggable subnames.
• Dashboard with user stats about Subname selling
• Wrapping and bulk wrapping ENS names

We see ourselves as an extension of ENS. Namespace basically supercharges ENS utility and creates custom-built solutions for specific groups of users of ENS.

For this reason, we’ve integrated the Thorin design system as well, to capture a unified and recognizable design. This ensures a consistent user experience for everyone in the crypto dealing with ENS names and digital identities.

Some stats from the Goerli testnet with our alpha testers:

Unique listed names	54
Average listing price	0.16 ETH
Total minted subnames	178
Unique parent names with minted subnames	33
Total minted amount	23.10 ETH
Average spent on minting per wallet	0.075 ETH
Average earned on minting per wallet	0.14 ETH

Size of team and commitment

We are a team of 3 people.

We’ve been building Namespace despite having full-time jobs. Our aim with this proposal is to obtain funding for the first year, which will enable us to commit full-time. Despite the limited time invested, working only in our spare time, we’re happy with our progress so far but recognize there are more features to be developed.

Funding Namespace will support not just our development work, but also initiatives like user onboarding, education, marketing, more partnerships and integrations, and other activities, all of which will directly or indirectly benefit ENS.

In addition to our main activities, we also focus on enjoyable stuff like publishing articles (Mirror), and hosting popular events such as Twitter Spaces (e.g., “Digital Identity with dr3a and Evan,” which brought >500 attendees).

The potential scale for Namespace is inherently tied to the growth of the ENS. As digital identity becomes more important online, especially in a decentralized world, the need for user-friendly and secure naming systems will escalate. Therefore, one of our goals is to create railroads for easy adoption and integration of ENS naming services through Namespace (API, Widget, Platform) and help cement ENS as the de facto naming system for the Web3 world!

What do you want to build on ENS?

Project Name: ENS Anti-Abuse Tools

Four years ago, Brantly.eth published “Why ENS Doesn’t Create More TLDs: Responsible Citizenship in the Global Namespace | by brantly.eth | Medium.”

This is worth a re-read.

I am requesting an ENS Stream to kick-start a project to further the aspirations for responsible citizenship discussed in this article. Namely, the creation of anti-abuse tools to combat deceptive, malicious, and illegal activity that harms the public and threatens to damage the public trust of web3 and ENS.

These anti-abuse mechanisms must be compatible with Article 1 of the ENS DAO Constitution that states, “Name ownership must not be infringed.” The end goal is not to take away anyone’s name, but rather to have tools to report issues, assess them, and if deemed abusive, alert the community about bad actors so the entire ecosystem can protect consumers from harm.

The biggest obstacle holding back mainstream ecosystem acceptance and adoption of Web3 names is the lack of safeguards for consumer safety. Without mechanisms to reliably address abusive behavior, the mainstream internet ecosystem will be reluctant to enable the public to have full access to web3. This issue impacts every web3 naming service. The first web3 ecosystem to successfully address abusive behavior will have a higher likelihood of mainstream acceptance before other similar services.

As the largest and most successful web3 naming service, this obviously impacts the future growth and sustainability of ENS.

Today, web3 operates without any guardrails to protect against consumer harm. A similar situation existed for DNS domains in the 1990’s. Gradually over the last 30 years the public has learned to trust the internet due in large part to the presence of anti-abuse mechanisms that protect consumers from harm. Fortunately, a lot of these efforts were led by the internet industry itself, which allowed the internet to flourish by avoiding stifling government regulation.

If ENS is to successfully grow to serve the next one billion users, it needs to be a responsible citizen and address abusive behavior using ENS names. Everyone in the ENS community has a role to play to ensure ENS is safe for the public. This can be done without compromising the ideals of its constitution. The entire ENS ecosystem must participate, from wallet providers, marketplaces and resolvers. The web2 ecosystem must be involved as well since ultimately the mainstream internet will decide whether ENS is safe for public use.

These tools represent an opportunity for ENS to set the industry standard for combating web3 naming abuse and ensuring the safety of the next generation of ENS users. The tools would be constructed to allow for adoption by the entire web3 ecosystem, demonstrating what responsible global citizenship looks like.

Deliverables

The main deliverables of the project will be open-source repositories for the developed tools and submitted complaints of alleged abusive behavior.

Proposed Milestones

• First Quarter
  • Formation and announcement of project
  • Solicit for collaborators
  • High-level design of reporting tools
• Second Quarter
  • Complete proof of concept for reporting alleged abusive behavior
  • Commence organizing public discussions for ways to address complaints
• Third Quarter
  • Launch open-source anti-abuse reporting tools
• Fourth Quarter
  • Determine next steps for sustainability and funding of project

Experience working on ENS:

I am uniquely qualified to lead this effort. I’ve participated in internet governance for over 25 years and have been involved in developing DNS abuse tools in web2.

I have extensive relationships across the various stakeholders that need to be involved to ensure this project is viewed as credible and is successful. You can view my Linkedin profile here: Thomas Barrett | LinkedIn

EnCirca started working with ENS five years ago with the launch of the .LUXE ICANN TLD in 2018, which was one of the first ICANN TLDs to integrate with ENS. We continue to support ENS registrations as a custodial-registrar. We also support over 2,400 Handshake TLDs.

In 2022, we launched the Altroots search engine for web3 domains, covering .ETH, Handshake, Decentraweb and Unstoppable names.

Most recently, we launched w3.link, which bridges web2 domains with web3 for existing users and new-comers to web3 (specifically ENS) with utility such as decentralized link-in-bio and event badges. We are the only decentralized link-in-bio that is compatible with both web3 and web2 domains. W3.link includes several smart contracts as part of its infrastructure.

Trademark Experience

I am active in the International Trademark Association, the global apex organization for trademark lawyers. In the 1990’s, I led the development of SAEGIS, the premier trademark research platform.

Although not a lawyer, four years ago, I was asked to be the founding Chair of the 20-lawyer Blockchain Subcommittee. I have spent the last four years educating INTA members on the threats and opportunities presented by blockchain technologies.

Size of team and commitment

I expect a team of 4-5 people: 3 FTE developers and 1-2 FTE for project management and design, community outreach and policy development. We will rely heavily on volunteers interested in internet governance and public policy, both internal and external to the ENS community.

Conflict of interest statement

I, nor anyone in my business, are currently receiving any income from the ENS DAO or related entities.

What do you want to build on ENS?

dAppling is a tool that makes it easy for developers to deploy secure decentralized frontends to IPFS & ENS. Developers connect their GitHub account, and with a few clicks get a decentralized site with CI/CD, preview builds, and best practices for a fast decentralized site out of the box.

We believe that it’s instrumental for the front end layer of applications to become decentralized. As ENS continues to grow, new use cases are popping up. We envision a future where ENS is used to provide a decentralized access point for all applications. For this to happen, developers need a way to host their sites in a decentralized way with a great developer experience, good performance for their users, and web3 grade security.

Some problems we are working on solving

Frontends need to be reliable.

Smart contracts have 100% availability, but 100% availability doesn’t mean much if the way users access the smart contract (the frontend) is unavailable. We are working to provide decentralized access points to make sure users are always able to interact with the smart contracts through a user friendly frontend.

This is especially important for DeFi protocols, where their frontend being down may result in significant issues, like users getting liquidated because they can’t add collateral.

Frontends need to be secure.

DeFi frontends are plagued with hacks. These need to stop for mass adoption of DeFi. Here’s a few from just the last month…

• TraderJoe Frontend Hack
• Balancer Frontend Hack
• Velodrom Frontend Hack
  
  

Since we are helping sites with their deployments, we are in a core position to help prevent these types of frontend attacks.

Frontends need to be fast for users.

We scraped all of the DeFi protocols that are on https://defillama.com/ and found that over 50% of them are using centralized frontends with tools like Vercel or Netlify.

We talked with many of these teams and learned the main reasons they aren’t using decentralized frontends with ENS:

1. They want their site to be really fast for users, and currently decentralized sites are plagued with speed issues.
2. The developer experience for deploying to IPFS + ENS sucks (no automatic cicd/ no preview builds, no instant rollbacks, users have to pay gas to update their .eth website).
   
   

Future of Frontends

Some things we want to accomplish in addition to making it really easy to build fast secure decentralized frontends.

• Build a standard way for protocols to prove their canonical contract addresses using ENS. We built an MVP of this with uniswap, where they use v3deployments.uniswap.eth to show their canonical addresses on each chain.
• Build a standard way for users to define their different access points for their frontend, and a way to verify that the access points are not malicious.
• Create a directory of decentralized sites and their access points, to make the discovery of secure frontends easy.

Past experience working on ENS

We have been working on dAppling for the past year and our team has been building in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2021.

Our team previously built arbor.finance, which helped DAOs raise ~3m in debt based financing and had ~15m max TVL

We’ve also built several tools: v3deployments, ggp dashboard, blockchain event explorer

Size of team and commitment

We are currently a team of 3 working on this full time. We may bring on a few more people if we are selected as a service provider.

Raphael Spannocchi (spannocchi.eth) - Governance Lead

What do you want to build on ENS?

We’re looking to build a procurement platform for DAOs.

From the ENS Governance Process:

The primary mechanism by which the DAO gets things done is via “Requests for Proposal” (RFPs). An RFP is a request from the DAO for contributors to offer to do work on its behalf, and receive compensation in return.

How can DAOs attract as many offers as possible and find the best candidate?

There’s an acute need for a platform where many DAOs publish RFPs and service providers can easily find work they’re interested in and apply. A platform that makes it easy for DAOs to think through the nooks and crannies of how to write a great RFP. And a place where the best service providers come to bid for work.

This is precisely what we want to build.

For the supply side (DAOs looking for service providers):

An easy-to-use UI/UX that guides DAOs through setting up a great Request For Proposal (RFP) process so they can get a specific scope of work done.

For the demand side (Service Providers looking for work):

An easy-to-use UI/UX where they can easily find open RFPs and apply with open, public profiles built on top of ENS names that develop over time to showcase their work and the success they created.

We will use ENS as the basis for applicants and DAOs, so the domain names become “LinkedIn-style” profiles.

Please see the link to the Slide deck for further information.

Past experience working on ENS:

We have not contributed to ENS prior to this engagement, but are excited to get started.

Size of team and commitment

We will deploy one full-stack engineer and one UX engineer full-time exclusively to this project, plus one project manager with about 2/3rd to full-time commitment.

Other notes (optional field)

If successful, we will continue to operate the platform and improve it. The project would be completely open source but could be made to monetize and pay for itself by introducing a small bps fee on top of project volume for successful matchmaking.

This fee-taking could make the project self-sustaining and pay into the ENS DAO Treasury if it is successful enough.

What do you want to build on ENS?

We want to build the premier subname provider of ENS.

Registering an ENS name for everyone on Earth would take 33 years and every block on mainnet. We want to sustainably expand the ENS ecosystem by making gasless subnames and L2 names a reality. This way, any individual from any country who wants an ENS can easily get one.

What we have done

We launched namestone.xyz and have issued thousands of subnames for more than a dozen ENS enabled domains. These names are used extensively as we receive thousands of forward resolution requests each day. We have provided and managed subnames for:

• Obvious Technology via obv.id, a smart contract wallet
• POAP.xyz, bookmarks for your life platform
• Converse.xyz, a messaging app built on top of XMTP
• PoolTogether, Saving & winning protocol
• Wassies, NFT project
• GreenPill, a regen network
• Mailchain, web3 email

We have made it simple to use ENS across platforms, protocols, NFT projects, and wallets. And we are just getting started!

What we plan to do

With the ENS DAO stream, we will expand and enhance our services, offering subnames to any person or group that wants one. We will develop websites for managing subnames and offer diverse options for registration. Our goal is to enable trust-minimized subname registration on a variety of L2s as well as gasless registration in a centralized database.

Below are the target personas who will most benefit from our efforts. Until now, we have only been able to target personas that had the ability to pay for our services. With the support of the DAO, we can bring ENS to anyone!

Newcomer Nancy
Nancy is brand new to Web3. She’s attended a few web3 events and has heard people refer to their .eth. When she searches ENS and visits the current frontend she is able to find a name she likes, but she is confused by the checkout experience and is put off by the price.

OG Olga
Olga has been in web3 for a few years. She owns her own ENS name and has it on all her socials. She wants a way to organize her public addresses and sees ENS as the pricey solution. She also has out of date social handles on her ENS name because she doesn’t want to pay to update them. She would be happier if there was a free way to manage her socials and subnames.

Company Carl
Carl is responsible for improving his community/company/protocol’s user experience. He knows that adding an ENS enabled namespace via subnames would add value to his users. Resources are tight and he would prefer an easy to use off the shelf solution.

Deliverables

To serve these personas and make ENS subnames easy to issue and use, we will deliver and enhance the following:

• L2 enabled and tradable ENS subnames
• A website where anyone can claim their own ENS subname
• A website where admins can manage subnames through a web portal
• An API that allows developers to issue subnames programmatically
• Marketing and educational materials to support our efforts as needed

We expect our offerings to evolve as we continue to engage with ENS labs, fellow stream recipients, customers, and layer 2s.

All software developed will be open sourced. This includes front ends, smart contracts, and custom resolvers that may need to be developed. We will also release our design system.

Past experience working on ENS:

We have created products in crypto used by tens of thousands. Our expertise lies in delivering products quickly and then effectively iterating based on community feedback.

ENS Ecosystem Contributions:

• Developed namestone.xyz, an easy to use API for gasless subname management, integrated by POAP, PoolTogether, obv.id, and more. Namestone has issued thousands of subdomains and resolved them hundreds of thousands of times
• Created nftychat.xyz, an ENS-based alternative to Discord
• Created teamnick.xyz, which issues tradable ENS subnames of teamnick.eth on base

Further, slobo.eth has co-authored ENS-IP 14, a method to track the source of .eth registrations on-chain, served as a Lead Ecosystem Working group steward for four terms, and has consistently acted as an educator and evangelist for all things ENS.

Size of team and commitment
Our team consists of a full stack engineer, a product/marketing lead, and a designer, all with demonstrable experience building tech in crypto. The current team is committed to working full time. With this new direction, we plan to hire a solidity focused dev and 1-2 full stack engineers to help develop our new offerings. The total team size is expected to be 4-6 people.

Conflict of interest statement

What do you want to build on ENS?:

We hope to secure a funding stream that will empower us to work full-time, channeling 100% of our focus and energy into enriching the ENS protocol without distraction, in line with our dual goals:

1. Enhancing ENS Functionality: Our commitment involves developing user-friendly applications that extend the functionality of ENS, ensuring versatility and accessibility for a broader audience. Projects like Optinames and Wildcards Protocol are living examples, providing practical solutions that empower users.
2. Boosting Adoption: Beyond functionality, our focus extends to actively contributing to the increased adoption of ENS domains and records. Tools like Avatarsync & ENS Redirect aim to seamlessly integrate ENS into users’ online presence, fostering a sense of ownership and utility.

While we continue these projects, we’re excited to channel this momentum into creating new, groundbreaking applications over the next 18 months, and hopefully beyond. This funding will not only facilitate continuous improvement but will empower us to explore and develop new and impactful experiments.

In line with our commitment to innovation, we’re thrilled to introduce our upcoming project, the Superchain Resolver. Leveraging the recently released EVM gateway by the ENS Labs team, this initiative will revolutionize ENS usage by providing users with seamless records management across Optimism, Base, Zora, PGN and other OP-chains. We aim to make ENS more cost-effective compared to managing records on the Ethereum mainnet. This approach addresses the rising expenses associated with mainnet transactions, ensuring a more economical solution for ENS users.

The Superchain Resolver is just the tip of the iceberg, as we remain dedicated to a continuous exploration of new tools and experiments, ensuring that Wildcard Labs remains at the forefront of ENS innovation.

Past experience working on ENS :

In line with our commitment to make ENS more user-friendly and widely adopted, we’re excited to share the impact of our work through the following projects:

1. Avatarsync: Enables users to sync their social media profiles with their ENS avatars, ensuring automatic updates whenever their profile pictures change on platforms like Twitter, Lens Protocol and Farcaster.

2. ENSRegistry Twitter Bot: Posts real-time updates on all ENS names registered to Twitter, promoting transparency and awareness within the community. Live since Jan 2022, the bot has posted 535,873 times, that’s over 2 million names.

3. Optinames: Introduces ENS subdomains on the Optimism network, expanding the ENS ecosystem to Layer 2 solutions.

   • A substantial 7,723 Optimism users have successfully acquired free ENS sub-names via Optinames.
   • 25,484 ENS sub-names have been registered on OP Mainnet.

4. ENS Redirect: Allows users to point their ENS domains to traditional Web2 URLs, bridging the gap between decentralized and centralized web experiences.

5. Wildcards Protocol ^BETA : Links ENS to NFT collections on any EVM chain, providing instant sub-domains to NFT holders without the need for individual claims/registrations.

   • 7 NFT communities have been onboarded on OP chain. Check them out.
     (OptiChads, Apetimism, Tickled Picklez, Optimistic Bunnies, Optimism Quests, Deggkies Optimism, HyperChads)
   • 3 NFT collections have been onboarded on Base.
     (Tiny Based Frogs, Base Wars, Summer Kevin)

Project leader: juankbell.eth
Team members: biscoito.eth, durgadas.eth, zeptimus.eth

What do you want to build on ENS?

We want to facilitate a culture of competence in managing conflict on ENS. Working on learning to overcome obstacles individually and collectively would benefit the growth and adoption of ENS worldwide, as teams would be able to solve frictions effectively and peacefully, improve communication, and develop a stronger relational fabric to foster smooth coordination.

We have seen how easily, internet drama can affect the well-being of a community, and our work supports minimizing snowball effects and having adequate processes to look for solutions to disputes while caring for all parties involved. By minimizing the negative impact of conflict and maximizing the learnings that can come from it, organizations can become resilient to stress and prevent violence or unresolvable conflict.

We have been building good practices to manage conflict in DAOs for over 3 years now, having already 5 cohorts of live Graviton Trainings, which are our certified 8-week online social skill boot camp, where we educate and develop multiple skills, that are key to increasing the competence of the collective in regards to transformation. We also developed our first Free online course, which is open 24/7 for everyone who wants to learn about these concepts as an async alternative to the live cohorts.

With this application, we propose to have two Graviton trainings on the ENS Discord Server during 2024, one each semester of the year. These learnings are better developed when continuously practiced, and we will certify the participants, to create a nucleus of “Gravitons” or conflict management agents in the community.

During 2024, we are also planning to develop our second free online educative course, this one focused on leadership, and once we have it, the ENS community will be the first ones to be impacted by it.

Our goal is to support DAOs to be sustainable over time and to foster nonviolent ways to solve disagreements. We are proposing solutions to specific coordination issues, and the work we are doing is key for the ecosystem, even when usually underseen.

Why should YOU be picked?

Gravity DAO is uniquely suited to support tightening the relational fabric of ENS because of its expertise in creating trust in teams, developing conflict transformational platforms, and deep understanding of blockchain systems. We’ve proven our ability to design and create solution spaces that respect and uphold the values of communities. Our approach is conceptually robust, minimal in governance, and efficient in progressive decentralization.

Our team has consistently displayed dedication towards Open Source Work by creating free content that is forkable and adaptable to any organization that decides to get inspired by it. A big part of our educational offer is available 24/7 in the online course, but we also like to host live spaces on trust creation practices, nonrelated to work conversations, co-creation, Study Groups, and facilitation of simulations and roleplays about conflicting scenarios.

The biggest milestone we’ve had has been to position our message in the web3 space by carrying the flag of social development in communities. At this point, we have worked with big organizations, like Aragon, Commons Stack, Giveth, Token Engineering Commons, and Optimism, where we’ve provided educational and consultation services, developing a high impact towards community building and maintaining positive relations. We want ENS to be the next community to intentionally make space for conflict management in its DNA.

We are a public good project in development for over 3 years (first as a Working Group of the TEC), and managing our funds as a DAO for 1.5 years, with transparency and accountability over treasury using Dework, having more than 200 tasks reviewed to over 30 contributors.

At this point, we have mediated over 30 conflicts in DAOs and trained more than 50 “Gravitons” (1st & 2nd gen , 3rd gen , Aragon gen & Optimism gen) to be active ambassadors within public goods communities.

Some of the Frameworks we use are:

• Alternative Dispute Resolution
• Non-Violent Communication
• Process-Oriented Psychology - Deep Democracy
• Serious Play - Liberating Structures
• BATNA and negotiation strategies
• Ho’Oponopono Healing practices
• Cynefin Contextualization for decision making
• Mental Health and Individual wellbeing
• Polarity Mapping
• Elinor Ostrom’s Principles for the Commons, and more.

We have uniquely curated content bridging social sciences to Web3 and we want to continue being a beacon of nonviolence and human-centered coordination in Web3

What do you want to build on ENS?

We are poised to develop an ENS Archive, a comprehensive historical repository of ENS-linked content, marking a significant stride in preserving the decentralized web’s legacy.

Our objectives include:

1. Enhancing the ENS Wayback Machine: This will involve expanding support to include various decentralized storage providers such as IPNS, Swarm, and Arweave. These enhancements aim to deepen our understanding of an ENS domain’s history, offering richer insights and broader data accessibility.
2. Maintaining a Robust IPFS Node: This endeavor will ensure the preservation of pivotal content from the decentralized web, safeguarding the most influential and notable digital artifacts for future generations.
3. Developing Open-Source Management Tools: Recognizing the community’s reliance on services like https://pinata.cloud for content management, we will create free, open-source alternatives. These tools will facilitate the easy setup and management of IPFS servers with integrated ENS support, democratizing access and control over decentralized web content.

Our service stands to be a cornerstone for researchers, historians, and the broader Web3 community, offering an insightful perspective into the evolution of decentralized web content. More than just an archival tool, the ENS Archive aims to become a dynamic platform that evolves with the community’s needs. By integrating features such as a leaderboard to highlight and prioritize key websites for archival governed by ENS tokenholders, we want to give power to the ENS DAO to signal what

Past experience working on ENS

We are the team behind the ENS Wayback Machine dApp, an innovative tool designed to archive and provide access to historical versions of content linked to ENS domains. Functioning similarly to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, it allows users to explore and retrieve past iterations of websites and digital content associated with ENS domains.

To illustrate, if one wishes to track the transformation of Ethereum founder, Vitalik Buterin’s personal webpage, it’s as simple as accessing vitalik.eth on our dApp. Utilize the header to toggle between different site versions, allowing a chronological visualization of its evolution.

Thanks to the ENS funding we received, we’ve also launched our very own IPFS node. This addition improves how our service works, making it faster and more reliable, and enhancing the overall experience for our users.

You can access our IPFS node through the ens.site domain. This IPFS gateway follows a modern specification designed to work seamlessly with the security models of web browsers. You can easily access IPFS data by simply adding the IPFS hash right before the domain name, like so: https://ba…ky .ipfs.ens.site.

Additionally, we’ve created software to resolve ENS content hashes in a way similar to eth.limo. You can see this in action at:

• https://vitalik.ens.site
• https://wayback-machine.ens.site
• https://<your-ens-name>.ens.site

However, for daily use, we still suggest using eth.limo as it’s more optimized. Use ens.site mainly for accessing older IPFS content or if eth.limo is unavailable.

Size of the team and commitment

Our team has three members: a software engineer, a frontend developer, and a system administrator, each of them will work on the project part-time. We will also use the funding to pay for our servers to keep our services running. Additionally, we plan to use some of the funds to hire a designer on an as-needed basis to fill gaps in our team.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BUILD ON ENS?

ENS Like Protocol (ELP) is a opensource DApp for liking content across the web using gasless ENS records. More generally, ELP will organize ENS records, and make records accessible and useful for users and developers.

Prior to ELP, ENSpunks launched LikeButton.eth as a way for ENS users to give other ENS users onchain representing “decentralized likes.” $:heart: was popular with both the ENS community and developers in the ENS ecosystem. For example, a developer from the ENS community created a chrome extension for giving on Twitter and eth.photos integrated into their ENS profile pages. However, network fees hurt widespread adoption and likebutton.eth otherwise operated as a public good but failed to obtain public goods funding.

ELP takes the lessons learned from likebutton.eth and will rebuild as a tokenless, gasless and permissionless protocol native to ENS using gasless IPFS+CCIP-Read+ENS Records (ICE). Between using gasless ENS records and focusing on organizing ENS records, and making records accessible and useful, ELP hopes to help ENS protocol scale to 1 millions users with unique text records set.

Specs

• ❤️ Subdomain & ELP Gasless Resolver:

  Users will mint a subdomain on their own ENS name (Ex.: .enspunks.eth). The easiest method is the UI at enslikeprotocol.eth.limo to create a subdomain where the ELP resolver for gasless records will be set automatically. Users can also mint the subdomain on ENS.domains and manually change the ENS subdomain resolver to resolver.enslikeprotocol.eth.

• Creating ENS ❤️ Records :

  Users can manage (create and delete) gasless ENS records [: content link] on a user friendly UI at ..eth.limo.

• Organizing ❤️ Records and Making Them Accessible and Useable :

  ELP will organize the ENS records, and make the accessible and useable for users and developers. For example, users can view and manage ENS records through the user-friendly UI. Moreover, ELP will be open and interoperable with other protocols such as Ethereum Follow Protcol (EFP).

PAST EXPERIENCE WORKING ON ENS

ENSpunks.eth has been building in the ENS ecosystem for several years, projects ENSpunks worked on include:

BoredENSYachtClub.eth

BoredENSYachtClub.eth is an pre-namewrapper ENS subdomain collection built with IPFS, CCIP-Read and ENS Wild Card Resolution. Almost 1,000 subdomains were minted creating a ENS community sub-DAO where members discuss ENS DAO Small Grants, and vote their subdomains on snapshot collectively voting the community $ENS in the ENS DAO.

LikeButton.eth

LikeButton.eth the first experiment with a “decentralized like button” for the ENS community built with $❤️.

Searchd.eth

Searchd.eth, fromerly Geocities.eth, a .eth website search engine and general resource for ENS users.
