Use Cases

If you're interested in any of the use cases below, Namespace, with its platform, SDK, API, or other way can make things much easier.

Who do we work with?

Games

custom-branded player usernames (i.e. alice.yourGame.eth). ENS is used as a Web3-native username system providing cross-chain usernames instead of siloed, centralized, and non-functional usernames.

Wallets

Wallet names instead of wallet addresses. Custom-branded wallet names (i.e. alice.metamask.eth). Wallet users register branded ENS subnames for their address, making wallet UX, onboarding, and transacting better, simpler, and safer. Typing human-readable > copy-pasting hexadecimal addresses.

Blockchain tools and service providers

Companies that focus on providing developers the best suite of tools to build on any blockchain benefit from having ENS as the best naming service in Web3 to make their offering more complete and appealing to developers.

Smart accounts (Wallet-as-a-Service providers)

Every app that uses a smart wallet should have an option to automatically enable Subname minting from its wallet provider and allow subname registration in the app. (namespace-sdk)

Identity (apps or services)

Identity requires a name and all identity-related apps and services should integrate ENS as a naming service for their clients or users.

Application-specific wallets

Whether you're building a wallet, social network, Farcaster client, social graph protocol, game, identity app, or any other app that requires your users to have an in-app wallet (smart account), you can use ENS as a web3 native service for usernames and profiles.

Individuals (entrepreneurs, influencers, bloggers)

If you're an individual interested in issuing subnames to your community, followers, readers, or anyone else, we can get you started in minutes by using our ENS widget tool we built.
