R&D Prototype Status

This prototype is under active R&D as we explore solutions for a proposed ENS Referral Program.

ENS Referrals

The ENSReferrals contract allows ENS referrers to receive self-serve referral rewards for ENS .eth name registrations and renewals. Referrer frontends can register for a uint16 referrerId to identify their referrals. They can inject this referrerId into their name registrations and renewals by:

• encoding it as referrerId = duration % 86400 for a new .eth registration
• encoding it as referrerId = expiry % 86400 for a .eth renewal

The ENSReferrals contract allows referrers to prove in ZK that they sourced new registrations or renewals for the protocol and records the amount of reward to be remitted. For integration, the ENS DAO would need to approve an implementation that actually remits funds. We handle registrations and renewals as follows:

• Registrations: Any name registration is eligible, but we exclude all premium fees in the computation of fees eligible for rewards. In particular, premium fees for 3- and 4-letter names and temporary premiums are excluded. The total ETH-denominated base registration fees paid are summed over the proven registrations and sent to ENSReferrals in a callback.
• Renewals: Any renewal is eligible, but again we exclude all premium fees. The total ETH-denominated base renewal fees paid are summed over the proven renewals and sent to ENSReferrals in a callback.

This is built using the AxiomIncentives system built using Axiom, which allows rewarding users based on ZK-proven on-chain activity. This system identifies each claimed renewal or registration with a claimId which is a monotone increasing identifier for all Ethereum receipts; to prevent double claiming, we enforce that claims must be made in increasing order of claimId. In addition, we exclude referrerId = 0, which corresponds to the default behavior of the official ENS frontend. For each referrer claim, the ZK-proven results via Axiom that are provided to ENSReferrals via callback are:

• uint256 startClaimId -- the smallest claimId in the claimed batch
• uint256 endClaimId -- the largest claimId in the claimed batch
• uint256 incentiveId -- the referrerId for all claims in this batch
• uint256 totalValue -- the total value of ETH-denominated base registration or renewal fees in this batch.

This work is the result of a collaboration between Axiom and NameHash Labs.
