ENS

$7,500

About

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is a decentralised naming protocol for the new internet. ENS enables you to have a portable web3 username and profile. Use it to establish an online identity, simplify crypto payments for any blockchain, host decentralised websites, and more. ENS supports all DNS names (.com, .xyz, etc.) in addition to our native .eth TLD.

Prizes

🧠 Most creative use case ⸺ $2,500

Up to 2 teams will receive $2,500

Most people understand ENS' simple use cases (name → address lookup, address → name lookup, etc.), but few explore what else it can be used for. For inspiration, think about naming AI agents or auto-rotating addresses on each name resolution for privacy applications.

Qualification Requirements

It should be obvious how ENS improves your product and is not just implemented as an afterthought. Your demo must be functional and not just include hard-coded values. Upon submission, your project showcase must have a video recording or link to a live demo (ideally both).

Any type of ENS integration is eligible for this prize, from developer tools to consumer social apps that use ENS for identity. Get creative! An example of a successful project may be a smart contract wallet that mints an ENS subname upon deployment, or unique use cases for text records. If you're building an AI project, consider how ENS can be used to name autonomous agents. Come by our booth for help brainstorming ideas!
