Blockscout
Over the past year, Blockscout has been working to support ENS in multiple contexts within the open-source explorer environment.
ENS support
The following ENS features are now available in Blockscout.
-
ENS lookup
- Dedicated ENS name services lookup section Example
- ENS name lookup in the search bar
- Link to ENS name directly in the URL bar (ie Ethereum address details for vitalik.eth | Blockscout - resolves to 0x address)
-
Address to ENS and ENS to address resolution
-
Primary ENS name support
-
ENS metadata support (Registration and expiration dates, Registrant, Owner, Manager, Other addresses, associated ERC-721 tokens)
-
Transaction history for an ENS name Example
-
ENS transaction actions (Register name, etc.) Example
-
Support of DNS-based names such as .xyz Example
-
Farcaster ENS name tags Example
Most recently we completed an epoch to support offchain and wildcard resolution corresponding to EIP-3668: CCIP Read and ENSIP-10: Wildcard Resolution. See the associated issue and merged pull request for more details. As a result offchain names like cb.id. and uni.eth are now available in the explorer. Example.
In the coming days we will push a UI feature which alerts users to the corresponding resolution methodology.
Upcoming items
- UI feature to display offchain & wildcard resolution information
- Support for ENS address name tags
- Add name normalization and Rust library for name normalization
Steward Commentary
The ENS Ecosystem Stewards are awarding Blockscout a 25,000 USDC Grant.
Blockscout has significantly enhanced their ENS integration, adding value for users and advancing ENS adoption. Their improvements around ENS resolution of offchain names are important in a time where more teams are adding branded offchain subnames and their name transaction history page is novel and helpful for users in tracking down information that is otherwise hard to query. We’re pleased to recognize Blockscout’s contributions with this grant, supporting their continued innovation.
