ENS Record Map

What is ENS

Introduction

https://docs.ens.domains/

Why we need it

Most Web3 apps rely on user’s ETH address in order to personalize the experience.

For example, Bankless Mobile App needs you to enter your ETH address in order to show your $BANK balance and POAP tokens.

However, copy-pasting your address all the time is not the most exciting experience, and users would love to just provide their ENS name instead, like vitalik.eth .

In order to turn ENS name into ETH address, apps need a way to resolve the ENS record, just like DNS would work with the traditional web domain names.

Requirements

Content Gateway API must have a way for applications to query records associated with a particular ENS name.

The API request should take ENS name as a parameter and return any/all the available associated records in return.

Ideally, the API should also support reverse operation — resolve an ETH address into ENS name.
