ENS, Identity in Your Apps I Greg Skrill

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Greg Skril from ENS Labs presents on integrating ENS (Ethereum Name Service) for identity in applications. ENS is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol on Ethereum that maps complex hex addresses to human-readable names, similar to how DNS maps IPs to domains. ENS supports forward (name-to-address) and reverse (address-to-name) resolution, enabling user profiles with avatars, descriptions, and addresses across multiple chains. The ENS registry and resolvers (including the public resolver) store addresses, text records, and content hashes, supporting decentralized websites and cross-chain functionality. ENS also supports off-chain data resolution via CCIP Read (EIP-3668), enabling flexible L2 subdomains. Developers are encouraged to replace hex addresses with ENS names in wallets, AI agents, DeFi apps, and social platforms. Tools like Duran simplify L2 subname creation and primary name assignment. The talk concludes with resources, hackathon prize categories, and a walkthrough of Duran for deploying ENS subdomains and customizing registration logic. 00:00 Introduction 00:36 What is ENS? 01:21 Forward and Reverse Resolution 02:29 ENS Profiles and Primary Names 03:11 Importance and Purpose of ENS 03:59 ENS Registry and Resolvers 04:23 Public Resolver: Addresses, Text Records, Content Hash 05:53 Decentralized Websites and Content Hash 06:15 Subdomains and Off-chain Resolution (CCIP Read) 07:37 Building with ENS: Use Cases 09:07 Developer Resources: Duran and L2 Primary Names 10:10 Hackathon Prizes and Support 11:30 Duran Walkthrough: Creating L2 Subnames 13:23 Conclusion and Support _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *ETHGlobal Cannes* This workshop is specifically for ETHGlobal Cannes, a 3-day hackathon held July 4-6, bringing together the most skilled web3 developers, designers and product builders from all around the globe for a weekend-long adventure to advance the Ethereum ecosystem!
