COMING SOON.
Enscribe proposes a new ENSIP to extend ENS for smart contracts with standardized text records + a metadata resolver profile. It enables source code, audits, docs, and licensing info to be linked onchain. Community feedback invited.
Read the ENSIP → Contract Metadata Standard and Text Records
A new proposal suggests refreshing basics.ensdao.org with a cleaner, AI-enhanced design featuring improved navigation, interactivity, and live governance data. The update aims to boost transparency and accessibility for newcomers to ENS DAO.

Danch.eth introduced an automated Dune dashboard to track token distributions via Hedgey vesting. It evaluates programs against goals like governance participation, decentralization, and recipient incentives — with recommendations for unified rules, improved contracts, and better communication.
Fileverse’s latest dDocs update introduces anonymous access permissions, allowing users to share and collaborate on documents privately via email, ENS, or wallet — without revealing collaborator identities. Built on ZK cryptography and vOPRF proofs, collaborators can verify access without ever exposing their email or 0x address.
→ Try it out: ddocs.new
JAW.id, built by the JustaLabs team, has launched an ENS-native smart wallet — a passkey-secured, identity-powered infrastructure for Web3. Powered by Etherspot bundlers and paymasters, it enables self-custody via your device or password manager. Modular, cross-chain, and builder-ready.
→ Try it out: jaw.id
Glitter Protocol’s PinMe tool has surpassed 150,000 decentralized deployments, marking a major milestone for the decentralized frontend movement. Each ENS subdomain now functions as an independent, censorship-resistant website, deployable in a single command via pinme.eth.limo.
→ Try it out: PinMe
The new ERC-8004 standard enables AI agents to register and discover each other through decentralized identifiers like ENS, DIDs, and wallets. Each agent is minted as an NFT, portable across apps, and linked to a metadata file containing skills, endpoints, and reputation — making ENS a key anchor for agent identity and trust in decentralized AI ecosystems.
→ Full spec: ERC-8004
The Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP), funded by ENS DAO, has
surpassed 1 million onchain actions. EFP is an onchain social graph that extends ENS by enabling Ethereum accounts to follow, connect, and build relationships directly onchain — advancing the vision of decentralized social identity.
→ Try it out: EFP
Webhash.eth hits a major milestone with 11,183 decentralized websites, 9,456 domains, 10,607 users, and nearly 2M pageviews. Built on ENS and Ethereum, served via eth.limo, Webhash powers the open, decentralized web—scaling cross-chain, one site at a time.
Enscribe adds EFP for social reputation on ENS profiles, integrates with Safe for one-click contract naming, and supports Linea to keep *.linea.eth names gas-efficient, ENS-compatible, and secure via PoH, CCIP Read, and advanced resolver logic.
Filecoin Pin combines ENS + IPFS + Filecoin for verifiable, censorship-resistant web hosting. Users can link IPFS CIDs to ENS names, ensuring sites stay online via proof-of-storage incentives—solving availability gaps in decentralized content.
ENSscribe released a new Dune dashboard to monitor ENS contract naming adoption — pushing forward the mission to replace unreadable hex addresses with human-readable ENS names.

Built by ENS Ecosystem grantee Franz, the Fusion ENS keyboard brings .eth resolution system-wide—allowing users to type ENS names anywhere on iOS, resolve addresses across 8 blockchains, manage contacts, and integrate with wallets.
→ Learn more: ENS Fusion
Jnix.base.eth built an example app integrating Coinbase Embedded Wallets with Base accounts, featuring ENS, token balances, and faucet access. The demo bridges crypto-native and new users with seamless onchain onboarding.

By setting ENS names for core smart contracts (e.g. wallet.ensdao.eth), users can now view readable identifiers via tools like Calldata Decoder. This update from ENS DAO makes onchain interactions clearer, safer, and more human-friendly.
ENSIP-24, proposed by Unruggable.eth, introduces arbitrary data storage for ENS, expanding beyond current resolver limits. This upgrade enables flexible, application-specific data resolution—unlocking new use cases across identity, AI, and onchain infrastructure.
→ Pull Request: ENSIP-24
The Meta-Governance Working Group provides governance oversight and support for working group operations through DAO tooling and governance initiatives.
Steakhouse released the September 2025 report, offering a broad financial overview of ENS beyond operational endowment updates. Includes insights, Dune data, and documentation links.

NounsDAO held a knowledge-sharing session with ENS DAO, detailing its move from a Cayman foundation to the DUNA model. The discussion covered lessons in transparency, legal structure, and community governance to help ENS DAO evaluate similar frameworks.
The Ecosystem Working Group strengthens the ENS Protocol by facilitating developer relations, identifying and funding high-potential projects that enhance ENS, and supporting ENS-aligned initiatives.
ENScribe released a Hardhat plugin for naming smart contracts, complete with a live demo, Foundry PR, and npm package. The tool streamlines contract identity management by letting developers assign ENS names directly within their build workflows.
→ Try it here: NPM
Base has made Basenames compatible with ENSIP-19, enabling users to use their ENS name as a primary identity across L2s. The migration was automatic—no user action required. ENS-integrated dev tools now fully support Basenames across Base and beyond.
Kamiko, founded by Zim of Vision.io, unveiled an open-source ENS marketplace infrastructure running on Sepolia. It tracks registrations, transfers, and renewals, with an Orderbook SDK in progress. Fully forkable and MIT-licensed, Kamiko lowers the barrier to launch ENS markets.

The Public Goods Working Group supports the Ethereum ecosystem by identifying and funding open-source development.
Remix received a $50K ENS grant to expand public goods tooling and integrate ENS login for dedicated storage and testing. Fabric continues progress on based rollups and Commit Boost, now used by ~30% of mainnet validators.
ENS Public Goods played a key role at the Kesennuma Hackatsuon, supporting 14 developers from 8 countries who built onchain tools with the local community. ENS-backed talks highlighted identity and infrastructure for public goods—culminating in projects like Kesenmemento.
At ETH Safari, attendees used NFC wristbands tied to unique ENS wallets for over 1,100 transactions in 2.5 days. The event promoted onchain identity by encouraging users to update ENS profiles. ETH Safari enters its 5th year, seeking funding to sustain its growing community.
Zawadi introduced a decentralized, plug-and-play protocol for hackathon prize escrows, letting organizers manage challenges, sponsors, and payouts seamlessly. Built with ERC-20/ETH support and IPFS-ready data, it enables dual approval and instant self-service fund claims for winners.

@estmcmxci led a research session on ENSv2 and ENSIP-19 interoperability, examining Ethereum’s role as the canonical trust root across L2s and non-EVMs. The study aims to position ENS as the intellectual hub for multichain identity standards, backed by a proposed public forum series.
mevlog-rs, a CLI for querying EVM transactions, helps researchers filter and benchmark onchain activity using over 2,000 RPC endpoints. With 17k downloads, it enables targeted MEV discovery, JSON-based outputs, and plans for a new terminal UI.
