Wallets
Replace confusing hexadecimal wallet addresses with branded, human-readable ENS subnames (e.g., alice.wallet.eth). This improves UX, builds brand loyalty, simplifies the onboarding process, and makes daily transacting safer and more intuitive.L2 chains
Provide a consistent namespace across the entire chain (e.g., base.eth / Basenames). Every user, dapp, and contract can be named and discovered under the same rootzone (.eth name), enabling builders to use it as a chain-specific naming system and enhance identity within the ecosystem.Payment apps
Create a Venmo-like user experience in crypto transacting. Let users send and receive payments with simple names instead of long addresses. ENS subnames reduce errors, increase transaction confidence, and make payments as easy as typing a username.AI agents and launchpads
Automatically assign an ENS subname to every new AI agent at the moment of creation. This gives each agent a sovereign, unique, verifiable, human-readable identity from day one, improving discoverability, interoperability, and user trust.RaaS providers
Offer a built-in, chain-wide naming service for every rollup that gets deployed. Branded subnames become the identity layer of the rollup, enhancing UX and enabling frictionless cross-chain username interoperability.Blockchain infrastructure and tools
Offer ENS integration through a plugin or add-on marketplace so developers can add naming without changing their existing stack.Wallet-as-a-Service providers
Issue wallet names that work across all chains and networks, allowing WaaS providers to implement subname-as-a-service and add ENS utility to their stack. This can simplify onboarding for partners and deliver consistent identities to end users.Games
Assign custom player usernames as ENS subnames, enabling players to carry their gaming identity across ecosystems, wallets, and even outside of the game.Identity apps and services
Use ENS as the backbone for decentralized identity, linking subnames to verifiable credentials, onchain activity, and social profiles. This makes identity portable across web3.Communities and brands
Strengthen belonging by issuing subnames to members (e.g., username.pepe.eth). Shared naming fosters identity, culture, and discoverability across platforms.Individuals and creators
Distribute subnames to fans or followers as part of onboarding into their ecosystem.Other applications
Any user-facing app that displays or accepts blockchain addresses can evaluate whether readable names would improve its workflow.Start building
