NameSys
NameSys has built sets of infrastructural stacks interfacing ENS & Ethereum with generic off-chain systems for diverse purposes. NameSys stack has so far securely interfaced IPFS/NS, Solana and generic databases with Ethereum.
SERVICES
NameSys Off-Chain Resolver & Client(s)
NameSys off-chain resolver CCIP2.eth and the associated clients have securely off-loaded ENS records to IPFS/NS and generic databases implementing a novel keyless algorithm for key management. With NameSys, you can manage your ENS records at zero cost.
Stealth Payments
NameSys off-chain resolver is capable of stealth payments to ENS names at zero additional cost, and this feature is available in the advanced client.
NameSys Lite Client
We launched NameSys Lite client in January 2024 capable of dynamic record updates and with increased ease-of-access for the users.
IPNS.eth
IPNS.eth is a ‘keyless’ IPNS client capable of pinning IPFS records for users without sharing their private keys. This is the first service of its kind and removes a severe security flaw plaguing the IPFS/NS ecosystem. It was launched in January 2024.
Other Stuff
DEV3.eth
dev3.eth is a GitHub-based end-to-end ENS prototype available on NPM since December 2023.
NotAPI.eth
notAPI.eth web3 API prototype is functional since November 2023 and can be found here. This service will enter alpha stage in the coming weeks and it will be similar to onthis.eth albeit concentrating on data availability instead of swaps.
RESEARCH
ERC-5559 aka CCIP-Write
NameSys is leading the authorship of a new ERC-5559 standard which will upgrade the previous version to include secure and keyless deferrals to databases and IPFS/NS. This will pave for integrating NameSys resolver in the ENS App at core via new CCIP-Write.
ENS on Solana
NameSys is currently finalising the proposal for offering ENS on Solana in collaboration with Solana Foundation. This proposal will be (re-)submitted to ENS DAO following feedback on the TempCheck, after/if/when an agreement with Solana Foundation is reached in the coming days/week(s); discussions are in their final stages with SF to this effect. This work will utilise a successor standard to ERC-5559 capable of deferring write operations to Solana. Prototype resolver and gateway worker codes are available on GitHub.
All services by NameSys are open-source and free of cost. Source codes are available at NameSys.eth · GitHub.
Steward Commentary
Ecosystem stewards are awarding NameSys 25,000 USDC in grant funding. NameSys is working on several projects including making it easier to interact with ENS names without extra cost and doing so without giving away private information. Their work on CCIP-Write is of particular interest as this unlocks future capabilities. We look forward to how their open source contributions evolve.
