Sentiment around $ETH is very bullish, which is good for everyone. SharpLink Gaming keeps buying ETH further strengthening the narrative around it. Narratives capture attention, and it brings more people to the #Ethereum network as they scratch beneath the surface of this new asset class they have invested in. However, we need to do more to support these new users. Showing hexadecimal smart contract addresses and accounts for users when they try to use Ethereum will make them think this is a platform for technologists, not people. Having a good onboarding experience is so important. Whilst there are many different ways people may onboard — perhaps via @CoinbaseWallet or @MetaMask. When they move outside of the garden provided by these wallets, they need some familiarity with what they see. Showing a hex contract address and asking them to sign a transaction against it is not good. ctd 👇

They will be familiar with reading the DNS names which are associated with the site they are accessing, an #ENS name is a natural extension of this, which they should see against any smart contracts they interact with. Great strides are being made with ENS adoption by networks including @base.base.eth and @linea. But the tools are not there for the builders to easily name their contracts. This is one area we are addressing with Enscribe. However, we also need to ensure that the users feel safe before they sign these transactions in their wallets, and this is the other area we are razor focussed on with Enscribe — as we need decentralised trust mechanisms for smart contracts. It's not good enough having centralised services that dictate if smart contracts are "safe". If we want a decentralised network, we need decentralised services protecting our users, otherwise we end up with #web2 all over again. TLDR; name your smart contracts with ENS to improve Ethereum UX and security.
