You can also write your own resolver (to customise the process of looking up names), or your own registrar (to customise the process of registering new names).I want reference documentation for the ENS smart contractsCheck out the Contract API Reference. We have reference documentation for ENS's core contract, the registry, for resolvers, and for commonly-used registrars such as the Test registrar, reverse registrar, and the .eth registrar.
