Overview:

Before ENS Fairy, registering and gifting an ENS name took 5 transactions. This was quite expensive and took longer than necessary. Now the same goal is accomplished in just 2 transactions, saving money and time.

In addition to .eth registrations, there is also the ENS Fairy Vault. This is a multi-sig wallet meant to secure names for individuals or brands until they are ready to receive it, ensuring more people have a smooth onboarding process to ENS and web3.

Since its launch in July 2022, hundreds of names have been registered using ensfairy.xyz, and 500+ have been deposited to the vault.

There is also an ENS Fairy Telegram bot to seamlessly onboard people/projects to ENS during IRL events like Devcon and ETH San Francisco.

What's Next:

I'm currently working on an interactive onboarding experience to complete the flow of gifting an ENS name. For example, say today I fairy a name to a non-crypto friend then explain what ENS is, how it works, why it's important, etc. But really I shouldn't have to explain everything to every person. I should be able to gift them a name and then just send a link that is tailored to their position and walks them through the rest. This is what I'm trying to solve. I gave a short presentation on this topic at the recent ENS Town Hall if you’d like to hear more.
