Project description

We are building tools that enable NFT communities on Arbitrum to acquire ENS sub-domains at zero cost. This is accomplished via utilizing an ENS feature called wildcard resolution. Our suite of tools allows anyone with an ENS name to link it to a collection and provide the NFT holders with free subdomains that are immediately compatible with popular wallets e.g Metamask & Trust wallet. Developers will also be able to utilize our open-source tools to build collection-specific ENS integrations. ENSIP 10 - ENSIP-10: Wildcard Resolution - ENS Documentation

Problem Statement

NFT projects & communities on Arbitrum have expressed a desire to use ENS names and subdomains to identify and connect with their users and holders. However, the cost of setting a distinct record on the ENS Registry for each subdomain can be prohibitively expensive for communities with large user bases. This creates unnecessary friction for NFT holders, who often stand to benefit greatly from the usability improvements offered by ENS names.

Value Proposition

Wildcards Protocol offers a solution to this problem by allowing every NFT holder in a specified collection (e.g Arbibabes) to receive an ENS name at no cost & without registration. The process for the ENS domain holder is simple: just link their domain name to the NFT collection they want to support. From there, digit subdomains (such as 69.arbibabes.eth) will automatically point to and resolve to the current owner of the NFT in the chosen collection (for example, Babe #69)

Benefit to the Arbitrum Ecosystem

The possibility of acquiring free ENS domains will drive users to explore Arbitrum and Arbitrum NFTs. Communities on Arbitrum will be able to unite under a single namespace with built-in utility, helping to create a more cohesive and connected ecosystem.
