Unruggable: Update and SPP2 Q3 2025 Quarterly Report

Unruggable has been hard at work over the last several months on key initiatives that support the development of ENS, as well as Ethereum as a whole. Some highlights include working with the Ethereum Foundation and Wonderland on Ethereum-wide interop with the on.eth chain registry. We have also continued to build on the ENS+AI work that was started last year, including the establishment of the ENS+AI group, which has been meeting regularly, providing a focal point for new builders to enter the ecosystem, and promoting ENS as a premier identity solution for AI agent identity. We look forward to sharing more about our accomplishments putting ENS at the center of the developing Ethereum AI-agents ecosystem, including standards that will support its development based on ENS.

Recently, we have also been able to contribute to important and valuable conversations that are happening outside the Ethereum world in the DNS community.

Thomas attended the ICANN AGM in Dublin and Namescon in Miami. These events were incredibly insightful for discerning the perception of ENS across adjacent ecosystems.

We were able to contribute to the technical conversations at ICANN and have been invited back by the Responsible Integration into the Domain Name System Ecosystem (RIDE) Work Party to participate further.

At Namescon, we conversed with registries, registrars, and brand-management companies about their opinions on ENS. Though there is some resistance to the decentralized aspects of ENS within this environment, Thomas was able to better understand the pain points so that we, as an ecosystem, can learn, adapt, and improve the protocol and how we interface with these companies and with DNS in general.

SPP2 Q3 2025 Quarterly Report

Unruggable Gateways

We have continued to work with Raffy (ENS Labs) and Alexis (Base) to iterate on the Unruggable Gateways codebase in response to changing requirements and real-world issues. This has included the addition of proposer whitelists, additional validations pertaining to rollups based on the OP Fault stack, and support for OP Succinct Lite.

Additionally, we have been building out Gateway Suite, a suite of additional tooling for the end-to-end deployment of operational gateways. More to follow.

Conferences and Events

In Q3 Prem attended several specialized blockchain and AI conferences, beginning in the Bay Area with the Summit on Decentralization & AI, the Science of Blockchain Conference 2025 (SBC’25), and Paradigm Frontiers 2025. The following week in New York, he joined NextFin NYC, the Ethereum Research Funding Forum, and Pragma New York 2025 (ETHGlobal). AI and fixing hard interoperability problems in the Ethereum community were persistent themes.

Crosschain Identity and Interop

In Q3, Unruggable established a working relationship with Wonderland and the Ethereum Foundation, and began collaborating on the specifications for interoperable addressing. ERC-7930 and ERC-7828. The latter specification allows for the utilization of ENS names as part of the human-readable Interoperable Name and introduces the onchain registry for resolution of chain metadata.

ENS+AI

Prem was invited as a contributor to the ERC-8004 Trustless Agents standards group and expanded the activities of the ENS+AI group, including starting weekly calls, which have continued. We welcome anyone interested in ENS + AI to join weekly calls, and participate in the ENS + AI group on telegram.

Conclusion

We appreciate the continued support from the ENS DAO, which enabled steady progress across interop, identity, and ENS+AI this quarter. We remain committed to improving crosschain identity and ENS+AI and look forward to continuing this work with the ENS DAO and the wider ecosystem.
