Have you considered the way an identifier such as vitalik.eth@base will function once applications fully integrate interoperable addresses? The underlying process is elegantly simple. Your specific account is pinpointed using the ENS name. Concurrently, the execution environment is determined by the chain suffix, a step that relies on the on.eth chain registry. Ultimately, these two distinct components blend together seamlessly to form one completely interoperable address.
When applications eventually roll out support for interoperable addresses, you might wonder about the exact resolution process behind an identifier such as vitalik.eth@base. The system handles this by processing two separate components. The account itself is located using the ENS name. At the same time, the execution environment is determined by the chain suffix, which relies on the on.eth chain registry. Finally, those two distinct parts are seamlessly merged to create one unified interoperable address.
Rather than functioning as a solitary execution environment, the Ethereum network has grown into a diverse ecosystem of chains.
A major challenge today is that chain identities remain fragmented across client-side mappings, various GitHub files, and application-specific logic. Because this information is so scattered, the community currently operates without a shared source of truth.
We are pleased to introduce the ENSv2 Alpha Log. This recurring series allows us to update you on what our team is building as the ENS App and Explorer evolve on Sepolia. We will be sharing details regarding fixes, improvements, and new features introduced throughout the alpha phase. Here is an overview of the recent changes. 🧵
Establishing verifiable identity is rapidly becoming a critical piece of infrastructure, particularly as autonomous agents start to hold assets, engage with protocols, and sign transactions. ENSIP-25 addresses this emerging need by presenting a formalized method to confirm that an AI agent registered onchain is legitimately linked to an ENS name.
The ENS Explorer Alpha has officially launched on the Sepolia testnet. This tool serves as a centralized hub where you can access the entire onchain dossier for any ENS name. It provides a comprehensive look at the full history, detailing everything from resolver updates and subnames to roles and ownership changes.
Securing an ENS name has become more straightforward. The ENS App Alpha on the Sepolia testnet features a faster and more efficient registration process. We invite you to test the alpha version today.
Along with the release of two new apps, the implemented ENSv2 contracts now provide a separate registry for every ENS name. Today, we delve into the architecture behind this system to understand the core changes taking place at the foundational level.
ETHDenver has implemented a ticketing system powered by ENS, granting every guest a specific ENS subname, such as http://unicorn.ethdenver.com. These unique digital assets serve a dual purpose, operating as both resolvable websites and personal onchain accounts for participants. To date, the event has successfully distributed 25K of these subnames.
Avoid the risk of letting your ENS name expire ever again. With the new ENS App Alpha, you can set up notifications to reach you through Telegram, email, or directly in your browser. Head over to http://app.ens.dev to test the alpha version on the Sepolia testnet.
We are confirming that the deployment of ENSv2 will take place solely within the Ethereum ecosystem. To learn more about this development, please read the full article available at https://ens.domains/blog/post/ens-staying-on-ethereum
The ENS Explorer Alpha is now fully active on the Sepolia network. As a comprehensive new resource, this tool serves as the definitive standard of truth for ENS, tailored specifically for builders, power users, and those requiring extensive visibility into the protocol. Please follow the link to try it out.
Securing an ENS name is becoming far more effortless with the introduction of ENSv2. The ENS App Alpha is currently active on the Sepolia network, offering a preview of these enhancements. Key updates include a completely revamped dashboard, support for stablecoin transactions, and alert notifications. Additionally, the platform now features accelerated registration capabilities alongside chain and wallet abstraction. You are invited to test these features at https://app.ens.dev/
