OUR VISION

We see a world in which every online user has a profile they own and control on the blockchain, with a name that represents them, and where every digital asset has a name using ENS domains.

Research

Our work is focused on making ENS scale to every L2 and beyond, with names that are tokenized and decentralized, providing users with a trusted naming system for themselves and their assets.

Development

Leveraging our research we implement solutions that make ENS names less expensive, easier to manage, and more functional overall.

Public Goods

We are dedicated to solving problems through open-source software development, providing key components that anyone can use to take greater advantage of ENS.

Unruggable Gateways

Unruggable Gateways

Our gateways are independent gateways committed to supporting the resolution of ENS names from L2s to L1 Ethereum. Our services are designed to enhance accessibility and security, providing users with proven name resolutions across chains.

ENS Protocol Development

ENS Protocol Development

Unruggable is working with ENS Labs to develop ENSv2, a major upgrade to the ENS protocol. Together, we are introducing a new ENS name resolution system and a new authoritative registry on an L2 network to enhance the accessibility and scalability of .eth names.

ENS L2 Subnames

ENS L2 Subnames

We are dedicated to building the best open-source code and services, enabling ENS names, such as name.project.eth, to be registered on any L2 chain.

Unruggable Gateways

As ENS scales, it will become increasingly dependent on gateway servers, which are responsible for fetching data from L2s and verifying the data on L1. Similar to DNS, which has decentralization and redundancy built into its design, ENS also needs to have multiple independent providers of trustless gateways. Unruggable plays a role in creating this decentralization for ENS gateway servers. We currently operate our own independent gateway servers, which we plan to offer to the broader Web3 community in the near future.

Currently, the ENS system of primary names has only one namespace, which needs to be updated to work with multiple chains, including L2s. The updated system will allow primary names to be registered on each L2 chain. To resolve names on L2s, it will be necessary to use CCIP-Read with gateway servers that can fetch the primary names and proofs to be verified on L1. We are developing our own independent primary name gateways, which can be used as part of a set of gateways to guarantee uptime and data availability.

ENS Protocol Development

Unruggable is collaborating with ENS Labs on the development of ENSv2, a significant upgrade to the ENS protocol aimed at improving the overall user experience and the technical framework of the Ethereum Name Service. This upgrade introduces a hierarchical registry system, allowing each name to have its own dedicated registry for more efficient management of subdomains. Additionally, a new authoritative registry will be deployed on a Layer 2 (L2) network, significantly enhancing the scalability and performance of .eth names. By transitioning to this new architecture, ENSv2 will provide users with a more scalable and customizable system, paving the way for broader adoption and smoother integration with decentralized applications (DApps) and services.

ENS L2 Subnames

Unruggable is dedicated to supporting naming, including usernames for projects and L2s, using ENS subnames with our open-source code and services. ENS subnames are already being used by projects and L2s as their primary name service, including uni.eth, base.eth, and linea.eth. We will continue to support projects and L2s that want to use ENS to build name services using ENS subnames.

About us

Unruggable is working to bring ENS names to every user and every chain by providing developers with open-source code and offering our services dedicated to supporting ENS in becoming more multichain and scalable. We are committed to enhancing ENS by making it possible for anyone to create their own name service for their project using ENS subnames, such as name.uni.eth.

We believe that a dedicated community and open-source development are the cornerstones of a successful blockchain ecosystem. ENS is fully open source and governed by its community, with the mission of making naming for any project easy for both users and developers.

Founders

Unruggable was founded in 2023 by Prem Makeig (Premm.eth) and Thomas Clowes (Clowes.eth). Prem and Thomas share a passion for ENS domains as well as the design and development of decentralized systems that offer strong guarantees of digital ownership.
