Web3 UX needs to change

Every time users interact with a smart contract, they’re asked to trust a long, meaningless hex address.

Not only does this make Ethereum harder to use, it leaves users exposed to address spoofing and phishing attacks from scammers.

Why name your contracts now?

Upgrade Security

Named contracts demonstrate authenticity and reduce risks for your community.

Enhance UX

Replace cryptic addresses with branded contract names (e.g., token.yourdao.eth) and ENS profiles.

Follow Best Practices

Shape Ethereum's identity layer. Your adoption drives new standards for apps and protocols.

Earn Awards

Gain recognition on the ENSAwards leaderboards and an opportunity to earn $ENS awards.

Up to 10,000 $ENS in awards

The ENS DAO has established the ENS Contract Naming Working Group to award 10,000 $ENS for high-impact contract naming across DeFi, DAOs, consumer dApps, and infrastructure.
