Following the renewal of our Service Provider funding, Unruggable was able to continue its work advancing key initiatives across the ENS ecosystem. In Q2, we focused on deepening our efforts in areas outlined in our proposal, including secure name resolution on L2s, improvements to crosschain identity standards, and expanded tooling and integrations for developers. We also contributed to new areas of research, such as ENS applications for AI agents and onchain credentials. This report summarizes the progress we have made over the quarter as we continue to build toward a more robust, verifiable, and globally accessible blockchain naming infrastructure.
Events and Presentations
Thomas and Prem attended EthCC, where Thomas gave a presentation at ENS Cannes Lightning Talks on recent work by Unruggable.
Earlier in the quarter, Prem attended EthPrague, where he connected with members of the broader Ethereum community, advocated for broader awareness of ENSIPs, and was a speaker on a panel at Builder Nights Prague - by MetaMask 
, Linea, Ackee, HackenProof, and 1Inch.
OpenBox Investment Committee
Thomas was appointed to the OpenBox Investment Committee, a temporary group authorized by the ENS DAO to evaluate a potential $5 million equity investment into OpenBox Inc. As one of two delegates selected by the Meta Governance Working Group, Thomas brings over 15 years of experience in the domain name industry, including work at the predecessor to Uniregistry and independent consulting for major clients. He holds a degree in Economics from the University of Leeds, where he wrote his dissertation on the economics of domain names. Thomas also plays a key role in ENS DAO governance, regularly participating in all three working groups: Meta Governance, Public Goods, and Ecosystem. His role on the committee highlights Unruggable’s ongoing commitment to supporting the future of decentralized naming.
Crosschain Identity and Interop
ENSIP-19
Another milestone this quarter was the completion of the final draft of ENSIP-19, a new standard for multi-chain reverse resolution (primary names). ENSIP-19 defines a universal method for resolving the primary ENS name associated with a wallet address, enabling consistent behavior across Ethereum Mainnet and Layer 2 networks. Prem Makeig contributed the default namespace to the standard, building on earlier work that began in 2023. The finalized proposal allows clients to set both a forward primary name and a reverse default primary name in a single meta-transaction. This enables a one-transaction setup flow for assigning and configuring an ENS name as a user’s forward-resolving and primary name across all supported chains.
EthStars
As part of Unruggable’s ongoing research into decentralized identity, Prem Makeig developed ethstars.info, deployed to the Base L2 blockchain, that implements an onchain credential system for ENS names and wallet addresses. Star counts are exposed through a newly developed credential() universal credential standard interface and can be resolved using predictable ENS name patterns. The system is designed to support crosschain identity by linking verifiable credentials to ENS-compatible identifiers, regardless of the originating chain. Credentials follow a consistent resolution model, allowing clients to query information for ENS profiles. Each credential is issued by a dedicated credential resolver contract and organized under a namespace, such as stars, with support for additional types like verifications, attestations, or social metrics. The goal of the demo is to test the resolution logic, namespace structure, and credential interface.
ENS + AI
Prem Makeig collaborated with Ghadi Mhawej from JustaName on ENSIP-TBD-11, a draft ENSIP proposal to standardize a new root-context text record specifically for AI and multi-agent applications. The root-context record allows users to link an ENS name to structured context data that can guide agent behavior or serve as persistent shared context across interactions. In tandem, Prem developed an experimental MCP client, id-mcp-reader, which demonstrates how ENS names can function as verified AI context IDs, supporting agent discovery, coordination, and stateful interaction across distributed systems. The use of ENS for resolving onchain AI context data enables agents to access verifiable, decentralized state that persists across sessions and environments, supporting use cases such as “vibe” coding, multi-agent collaboration, or agentic-aided development workflows.
Welcome Martin!
We are very happy to have Martin Ndeto join Unruggable. Martin Ndeto is a blockchain engineer specializing in EVM chains. He focuses on protocol research and engineering and builds developer tooling to support the broader Ethereum ecosystem. His current work centers on the interoperability roadmap, with a specific emphasis on ENS-based identity solutions that enable seamless interoperability.
Conclusion
We are grateful for the continued support from the ENS DAO, which has enabled us to advance our work across key areas of the protocol. This quarter, we deepened our technical contributions, explored new applications of ENS in AI and crosschain identity, and engaged with the community at major Ethereum events. We remain committed to supporting the long-term success of ENS through open research, infrastructure development, and developer education. We look forward to continuing this work in the next quarter in collaboration with the ENS DAO and the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
