At ENS Vision, we have established “Forge”, a dedicated team committed to the development of open-source projects and tooling for the ENS ecosystem. Forge operates as a specialized unit within ENS Vision, using our collective expertise and resources to innovate and build solutions that enhance the ENS platform. 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.

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:

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.

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.
