Basenames are growing in popularity. Users set them for their EOA accounts so that they don’t have to use hex addresses when interacting on Base. Basenames use the solid ENS infra underneath and are fully ENSIP-19 compliant.

Since Enscribe is on a mission to eradicate hex addresses from Web3 UX and contract naming is overlooked, we wanted to enable users to set Basenames for deployed contracts as well. We are excited to announce support for naming your contracts using Basenames.

ENSIP-19 in short​

ENSIP-19 is an ENS Standardization Proposal that standardizes reverse and primary name resolution for all coin types, and defines how this resolution process operates across the multichain Ethereum ecosystem.

This is done by deploying an L2-specific Reverse Registrar contract that takes care of setting reverse records.

For example, suppose we want to set a Basename v1app.alice.base.eth. Then, we first create a subname on L2 ENS Registry by calling setSubnodeRecord:

setSubnodeRecord(namehash(alice.base.eth), labelhas(v1app), deployerAddress, resolverAddress, 0)

Then we can set a forward resolution that maps the name to address with:

setAddr(namehash(v1app.alice.base.eth), BASE_COIN_TYPE, contractAddress)

Finally, set the reverse record with the L2 Reverse Registrar:

setNameForAddr(contractAddress, v1app.alice.base.eth)

How to set a Basename for your contract?​

Navigate to the Name Contract page & connect your wallet if you haven’t already. From the chain dropdown, select Base/Base Sepolia i.e. the chain you want to set the Basename on.

Enter your contract’s address in the Contract Address field and it should automatically detect the chain like shown above.

Click on Create New Name button and enter the new contract name you want to register and the parent domain under which you want to register the subname:

Note: the parent domain entered should already be registered. If you want to register a new parent domain, then use https://www.base.org/names to do so.

Click on Name Your Contract button & you’ll see all the transactions executing successfully:

And just like that, we have successfully set a Basename for our deployed Ownable contract!

Here's a video tutorial on how to set a Basename for your contract:

What This Means for the Ecosystem​

We’re excited to see how the community puts this to use. As always, feedback is welcome—we’re continuing to refine our ENSIP-19 aligned features and would love to hear what you think.

Head over to Enscribe and use a Basename to name your contract!

Happy naming! 🚀

Hot of the back of our Linea Sepolia announcement, we're also supporting the Base Sepolia testnet!

Base, developed by Coinbase, is an Ethereum Layer-2 solution built on Optimism’s OP Stack, designed to deliver faster, cheaper, and more scalable transactions while preserving Ethereum’s security guarantees. Our integration with Base Sepolia provides a powerful new way for developers to effortlessly deploy smart contracts and immediately assign them Ethereum Name Service (ENS) names.

It also can be used to easily name existing smart contracts too.

With Enscribe’s new support for Base Sepolia, your smart contracts gain human-readable ENS identities instantly upon deployment, greatly enhancing their discoverability, verifiability, and usability.

How to Get Started​

Getting started with Base Sepolia on Enscribe is simple:

Visit the Enscribe App at app.enscribe.xyz

Connect your Ethereum wallet (Coinbase Wallet recommended for Base).

Select "Base Sepolia" from the available network options.

Deploy your smart contract and assign it a user-friendly ENS subname in just a few clicks.

Benefits of Using Base​

Base offers several key benefits over the Ethereum Mainnet:

Lower Transaction Fees: Benefit from reduced gas costs compared to Ethereum mainnet.

Fast & Efficient Transactions: Deploy and interact with contracts quickly and seamlessly.

Ethereum Compatibility: Deploy your existing Ethereum contracts with minimal changes required.

What's Next for Enscribe?​

With Sepolia, Linea Sepolia and Base Sepolia all supported, we're getting ready for our mainnet deployments for developers to really start battle testing the Enscrbie services.

On top of this we're going to be announcing our first partner integrations which you'll definitely want to watch out for. This will be a bit step forward in establishing greater trust in smart contracts for users.

In the meantime, make sure you have a go with our Base service and let us know what you think!
