Ethereum Name ServiceENS awards prizes to five ENSv2 projects at ETHOnline
At ETHOnline by @ETHGlobal, ENS awarded five prizes to projects built on ENSv2 across AI agents, inheritance, tokenized assets and more.
- Herit took 1st for Best Use of ENSv2, using ENSv2 subnames as heir slots for onchain inheritance, with Enhanced Access Controls and liveness checks deciding when assets can be unlocked and claimed.
- Batas took 2nd, turning an ENSv2 subname into a binding kill switch for autonomous trading agents — expiring, revocable and soulbound, so owners can stop agent authority onchain.
- Verdict.eth took 3rd, using ENSv2 to build machine-readable profiles for tokenized real-world assets with scoped permissions for auditor and monitor agents.
- Capsule took 4th, a no-code launchpad for AI agents with an ENSv2 identity, onchain configuration and an owner-controlled off switch.
- SoulVault won Best Continuity Integration, adding ENSv2 org registries, agent and swarm subnames, and scoped permissions to enable delegated access, name retirement and successor registration.

- SoulVault won Best Continuity Integration with ENSv2. It added ENSv2 organization registries, agent and swarm subnames, and scoped permissions to its encrypted agent-swarm platform, enabling delegated access, name retirement, and successor registration. https://t.co/pHdwQvoDRR Replying to their earlier post: Capsule took 4th place for Best Use of ENSv2.

Ethereum Name Service
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain.
ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata. ENS also supports ‘reverse resolution’, making it possible to associate metadata such as canonical names or interface descriptions with Ethereum addresses.
ENS has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Ethereum blockchain. Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains.
Top-level domains, like ‘.eth’ and ‘.test’, are owned by smart contracts called registrars, which specify rules governing the allocation of their subdomains. Anyone may, by following the rules imposed by these registrar contracts, obtain ownership of a domain for their own use. ENS also supports importing in DNS names already owned by the user for use on ENS.
