ENS is the universal pointer for anything on the internet. It turns wallet addresses into human-readable names like yourname.eth — a portable, onchain profile that works across every app, chain, and wallet.
Developers use ENS to replace raw addresses with real identities, build decentralized websites, and create scalable subname ecosystems. As AI agents become first-class onchain actors, ENS is how you give them a name, a reputation, and a place to be found.
AI agents need persistent, human-readable identities too. Use ENS to name agents, resolve their addresses, spin up subname registries for agent fleets, store agent metadata in text records, or build systems where agents can register and discover each other onchain. If you're building anything agentic this weekend, think about how ENS can be the identity layer.
It should be obvious how ENS improves your agent's identity or discoverability — not just a cosmetic add-on. Demo must be functional (no hard-coded values). Submit with a video or live demo link and present at the ENS booth in person on Sunday morning.
Most people know ENS for name → address lookups. We want to see what else it can do. Store verifiable credentials or zk proofs in text records. Build privacy features with auto-rotating addresses on each resolution. Use subnames as access tokens. Surprise us!
ENS should clearly improve the product. Demo must be functional (no hard-coded values). Submit with a video or live demo link and present at the ENS booth in person on Sunday morning.
Any type of ENS integration is eligible for this pool prize, split evenly among all eligible projects. Get creative!
You need to write some code specifically for ENS. Simply using Rainbowkit does not count. Your demo must be functional and not contain hard-coded values. Upon submission, your project showcase must have a video recording or link to a live demo (ideally both) and the code needs to be open source and accessible on Github or a similar platform.
Already building something real? Keep going. This prize is for the best project that meaningfully extends an existing product or open source project with ENS. Add ENS where it makes the product better: identity, discovery, onboarding, payments, profiles, subnames, records, or entirely new UX. We want to see ENS used to ship a meaningful new capability, not just added as a cosmetic integration.
It should be clear what ENS-powered feature was built during the hackathon and how it improves the existing product. Demo must be functional (no hard-coded values). Submit with a video or live demo link and present at the ENS booth in person on Sunday morning.
