Lore is a playful social layer built on top of Ethereum Name Service. It transforms ENS names from static identifiers into dynamic, community-shaped identities.

Instead of simply resolving names to addresses, Lore allows anyone to “stamp” an ENS name with predefined traits such as Builder, Trusted, or Creative. Each interaction contributes to a lightweight, evolving profile that reflects how a name is perceived by others.

By using ENS as the core identity layer, Lore ensures that interactions remain human-readable, portable, and meaningful. The system does not aim to establish absolute truth, but rather to surface collective signals in a simple and engaging way.

Under the hood, Lore leverages a decentralized knowledge graph powered by Intuition Systems to record and aggregate these interactions. This enables the emergence of a social graph where identities are shaped by participation rather than predefined reputation systems.

The result is a fast, intuitive, and gamified experience that makes ENS identities interactive, explorable, and socially expressive.

Lore is built as a lightweight web application focused on speed, clarity, and minimal friction.

On the identity layer, it uses ENS to resolve human-readable names into addresses and retrieve associated metadata such as avatars and text records. ENS acts as the canonical identity surface, ensuring that all interactions are tied to recognizable and portable names.

On the data layer, Lore integrates with Intuition Systems to store interactions as simple relationships: a user assigns a predefined trait to an ENS name. This approach avoids complex schemas and allows rapid writing and aggregation of data.

The frontend is built with a modern TypeScript stack (Next.js + React), optimized for a single-page experience. The UI is intentionally minimal, centered around one core interaction: selecting and applying a stamp. Immediate feedback and lightweight animations provide a responsive and engaging experience.

A key design decision was to avoid over-engineering: instead of building a heavy reputation or trust system, Lore focuses on a single primitive — stamping — and uses it to organically generate a social graph.
