Namespace
Everyone should be able to utilize ENS names and subnames at their maximum capacity. We want to provide a platform that will facilitate just that, and help people get the most out of their ENS Names.
With that, we are officially announcing our Mainnet Launch! With new, improved, and optimized contracts, gas fees, and more features and functionalities for our users to leverage on their journey to selling Subnames!
Namespace is an ENS-based Digital Identity Platform + Developer Toolkit.
Our mission is to Democratize Access to Web3 Identity through ENS.
Our job is to make sure ENS is THE naming system of Web3.
And we achieve that by:
Proactively integrating ENS with other dapps and projects
Building cool stuff for the ENS community/owners to utilize their names, and
Providing developers with an easy-to-use dev toolkit for simple ENS integration and Subname management.
Namespace serves two different customer profiles: 1) Community and 2) Developers.
Who is the Community?
The community represents every single ENS name owner who wants to issue Subnames with ease to their followers, members, supporters, etc.
Individual ENS Name Owners
Usually, individual ENS Name holders who have kick-ass names and want to put them to work are people we love working with! They either want to put their names to work by issuing them for free or selling them and making a profit.
Communities
Thanks to our Token-gated feature, communities that are looking to issue subnames and reward their community members with unique digital identities can do so in a very smooth way, using only our platform without knowing anything about the technical stuff behind these subnames.
Give your community a Web3-native Digital Identity by issuing Subnames from your community’s official ENS name! The best part about it is that only Community NFT holders will be able to mint it. ;)
Creators, Blogs and Websites
One of the coolest things we ever built is our ENS Widget powered by Namespace protocol. It allows anyone with an ENS name to list that name on Namespace, create the widget on our platform, integrate it on their own website or a blog, and start selling subnames from there directly.
For more information, check our detailed Widget Docs on how to use the widget.
To test what it looks like, you can go to the Namespace website and see it at the bottom right corner.
**spoilers: it’s super easy to set, no technical knowledge required, and the entire process takes 5 minutes.
Who are the Developers?
When we say developers we usually mean integration partners such as games, wallets, infrastructure, or developer tooling platforms.
We are continuously building the infrastructure to support the easy implementation of ENS as a protocol and take full advantage of its capabilities primarily through Subnames that can serve multiple purposes.
Our job is to make sure ENS is THE naming system of Web3.
We achieve that by 1) proactively integrating ENS with other dapps and projects, and 2) building cool stuff for the ENS community.
1. Register ENS name or subname
Currently, you can register both an ENS Name and a Subname.
Instead of showing you the name you searched for, Namespace also offers cool subnames you might want as an alternative if your Name is already registered.
Optionally, during registration, you can choose whether or not to select that name to be your primary name.
2. List names and issue subnames
Listing your ENS name from which you want to issue subnames will require approving our contract to do the minting on your behalf.
Once listed, people will be able to mint subnames from your name while you can track the registrations and potentially earn money with every registration.
Before listing you’ll be asked to configure how you want to issue Subnames which brings us to customization.
3. Customize issuing subnames
Customize minting price based on length — you can choose a custom price for subnames with 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. letters and also set the base price for all others.
Issue FREE subnames — if you want to issue free subnames, you just need to put the base price to be ‘0’ and that’s it.
Reserve subnames — reserving some subnames for yourself allows you to keep subnames for yourself and disallow anyone else to mint them. You can treat this feature as a blacklist of certain words to be minted or as a feature where you can set special prices only for certain words.
Set a minting deadline — set the future deadline for how long the minting will stay open.
Whitelist wallets — currently, there are two options when it comes to whitelisting:
Only whitelisted addresses can mint - whoever is whitelisted will be able to mint a Subname and everyone else won't be allowed to mint at all.
Whitelisted addresses can mint for free - whoever is whitelisted will be able to mint for free and everyone else will have to pay for predefined prices set by the ENS Name owner.
4. Issue Community Subnames
Token-gated listing allows ENS Name owners to token-gate who gets to mint the Subname based on the certain token holding.
Currently, we support token-gated minting for:
ERC20 tokens - anyone holding a certain number of ERC20 tokens can mint a subname.
ERC721 - anyone holding certain ERC721 NFT will be able to mint a subname.
ERC1155 - anyone holding certain ERC1155 NFT will be able to mint a subname.
This feature is especially valuable for Communities, PFP collections, private groups, etc. who already have token-gated access of some kind, and now want to reward their users with unique and web3-native digital identity.
To commemorate our launch we are allowing people to mint free .gotID subnames in support of the Namespace platform and the team.
GotID Mint link: https://app.namespace.tech/gotid.eth
Minting *.gotID.eth offchain Subname shows support for ENS Subnames and Namespace Mainnet Launch, gives you an OG status in our circle, and won't go unnoticed or forgotten!
Subscribe and stay tuned.
We are only getting started.
