.eth stays on

Jan 24
Personal ETH JourneyGrowing up in a small, close-knit community, I never imagined becoming part of a global movement reshaping the future of the internet. Yet, that is exactly how I felt when I first encountered Ethereum in 2018. A small group of hardcore believers, dreamers, idealists, and techno-optimists, working together towards a better future. Back then, I didn’t really understand, nor could I ever foresee the potential of Ethereum. I’ve been in crypto for 7 years, 3 years with ENS, bui...

We’re at a crossroads here folks! Years from now, we’ll look back and realize the biggest move was simply to invest in AI16Z, Virtuals, Zerebro, or any AI framework/OS that's emerging now, and then watch it reshape everything. This is our generation’s Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/Google moment, but bigger and more revolutionary! This is that window of opportunity all over again. Except this time, the mission is even more meaningful: empowering society through AI+crypto that’s driven by the M...
Namechain ecosystem late-night thoughts

Jan 14
Have you ever had ideas and thoughts so intense about something you’re obsessed with that you get excited and euphoric and overwhelmed and you can’t sleep?It is my strong belief that once ENS launches Namechain it will be of utmost importance for all of us ENS contributors and supporters to work as hard as ever on cultivating the builder ecosystem and culture there. ENS as a protocol and an onchain identity primitive already has everything builders need to enable self-sovereign digital identi...

IntroductionScaling the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) to a billion users and beyond is the vision that’s been driving me to build on top of this protocol for over two years. As a Service Provider, DAO member, delegate, and ENS advocate, I wanted to share some thoughts on scaling ENS. This article is a culmination of my knowledge, my experience as a builder, and my personal insights. Earlier this year, I organized the ENS x Chainlink side event during ETH Belgrade. At that event, I gave a talk t...
ENS x Namespace = 🫂

I’m writing again. Yay. I haven’t been writing much lately, and the reason is that we (the Namespace team) got a grant from the ENS Foundation to keep building our platform, supercharging ENS with more utility, and integrating ENS everywhere to be easy to access and implement. I will be also publishing from the Namespace blog - Substack, and newsletter: Paragraph, so you can follow us there. But here I am now. I wanted to write my thoughts on Namespace and ENS and how these two work together....
Does ENS need Ecosystem projects?

Nov 14
What role do ENS Ecosystem projects play? Does the ENS truly require a suite of ecosystem projects to fully realize its potential? What value do they bring? Opportunity or a cost for the DAO? This article delves into the relationship between ENS and its surrounding initiatives, exploring whether the success and usability of ENS are connected with the broader ecosystem or if it can stand robustly on its own. As the last ENS Small Grants round is officially finished, and the proposal for Servic...

After reading and listening to so much about Web3 Identity and everything that goes along with it, I can’t help but try to gather my thoughts and put them in an organized structure, and write my views about these topics. Especially since I’m actively taking part in its mainstream adoption by providing ENS subnames with Namespace.In the last few years, the narrative around digital identity has been rapidly evolving, driven mostly by the advancement of Web3 tech, open-source protocols, public g...

Creators and artists, in their various forms and disciplines, play a vital role in shaping the world and contributing to the richness of its culture. Culture, you see, is very important. In great part, it’s tied to our identity as individuals. Who we are in relation to our family, friends, work environment, the country we live in, and the entire world around us. It ties our collective values around social activities and everyday interactions without us even noticing it. Without culture, we ca...

How soon before we live in a world where when people say - “send me your wallet”, you send them your web3 username? Or just, a name… .eth name?It's been some time since I last wrote about ENS. After publishing MeetENS.eth.limo my team and I focused on building our product while somewhat impatiently awaiting the launch of Name Wrapper. And now that it's out there, as Mr. Holmes would say, "the game is afoot." There are so many amazing people in the ENS community, who provide educatio...

IntroIt's safe to say that blockchain and crypto as an industry has grown and matured a lot in recent years. It's been a thrilling, high-speed rollercoaster ride so far, brimming with new developments and cutting-edge innovations, and up-only movements. But now that the bear market has been around for a while it’s the game played by the real ones only. Now already known phrase ‘build the bear’ is the best environment for builders to do what they do best -- build, create, innovate. O...
