Name your smart contracts

ENS best practice details

Assigning ENS names to contracts gives users confidence they're interacting with the correct contract. This is particularly valuable for security, as users can confirm uniswap.eth instead of validating a long hexadecimal address. If you've deployed contracts without Ownable, you can still improve UX by configuring forward resolution, though full naming (with reverse resolution) provides the best user experience.

Desired outcome

The users of your protocol can easily verify they're interacting with the correct contracts, improving security and user confidence.

Acceptance tests

Smart Contract ENS name is validated by ENScribe

When the contract's ENS name or address is looked up in the Enscribe App the result should display the contract's name with an appropriate icon.
