What do you want to build on ENS?
This proposal is for funding the on-going development, support, and associated hosting fees of ENS on Etherscan and relevant block explorers run by the team.
Having access to ENS names on leading block explorers is vital to the continued usage and adoption of ENS. The following are useful features that Etherscan could build as part of this proposal, on top of ongoing support:
- Extending the current support of ENS names on Ethereum L1 to Ethereum L2 explorers (including Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, Linea, Scroll and others listed here).
- Extending the current support of .eth names to other domains such as .xyz and .art.
- Support of off-chain names using CCIP such as .cb.id including address name tags and lookup in URL bar.
- Support of DNS-based names such as .com.
- Improved display of normalised ENS names.
