Fast ENS API for web3 apps
The standard approach of querying ENS contracts directly can be quite slow for many use cases and can quickly eat up RPC limits if you’re not careful.
To help with this, I built an incredibly fast API for resolving and reverse-resolving ENS names and addresses (30-50ms with a warm cache).
This API has been online since December 2021 with no downtime and has served billions of requests (currently ~130 million requests per month), powering sites like SecureHabbo, Relay.link, and Juicebox.
API docs are here: About ENS Ideas
