Elevate your protocol’s onchain identity! This 6-month ENS DAO-backed initiative rewards DAOs, protocols, and dApps who name their smart contracts.
Every time users interact with a smart contract, they’re asked to trust a long, meaningless hex address.
Not only does this make Ethereum harder to use, it leaves users exposed to address spoofing and phishing attacks from scammers.
Named contracts demonstrate authenticity and reduce risks for your community.
Replace cryptic addresses with branded contract names (e.g., token.yourdao.eth) and ENS profiles.
Shape Ethereum's identity layer. Your adoption drives new standards for apps and protocols.
Gain recognition on the ENSAwards leaderboards and an opportunity to earn $ENS awards.
The ENS DAO has established the ENS Contract Naming Working Group to award 10,000 $ENS for high-impact contract naming across DeFi, DAOs, consumer dApps, and infrastructure.
Curious what an "$ENS" is? It's the official ENS token which can be held and delegated to yourself or others to vote in ENS DAO governance that influences the future of the ENS protocol or freely swapped for cash.
Prioritize "user-facing" contracts such as for DAO governance, DeFi transactions, or key multisig wallets.
STEP 1
Configure ENS names for each contract according to best practices.
STEP 2
Share your updates with the ENS Contract Naming Working Group for their review on impact.
STEP 3
Submissions selected by the ENS Contract Naming Working Group will receive $ENS awards.
STEP 4
See examples for how other protocols are naming their smart contracts. Join the race to the top of the ENSAwards leaderboards with your protocol!
See how DAOs rank for following ENS best practices.
