🛠Namefi Community Weekly · 20 May 2024

Is Namefi.io on stealth mode?

It’s a hectic week for the Namefi team, but luckily, we have got some new achievements, inspirations, and plans seeded down for the next following weeks. 

In fact, a lot of progress has been made at the backend of the Namefi team by Sami and Victor. Every execution of theirs is incrementally contributing to the ever more refined user experience for Namefiers. 

On the customer side, I have airdropped to all 150 winners who participated in Namefi's mission with Metaverse HQ. Hopefully, next week when I am working on the Namefi {Karma} and hiring a Namefi operation intern, I could spend more time with our community members and customers.

Namefi Feature Announcement

EIP-747 “Wallet_watchAsset” 

In terms of product features, Victor has announced that Namefi proudly supports EIP-747 "wallet_watchAsset" to add tokens to wallet apps that support EIP-747, such as @MetaMask, authored by @danfinlay, @estebanmino_, and Pandapip1. $NFSC will be supporting this option to allow users to add trusted tokens to their wallet. 

Here is a feature tutorial recorded by Sami to show how to add Namefi Assets to your wallets that support EIP-747: https://www.loom.com/share/da2a2375b1294631af4c9811aef7cfa3?sid=16653727-8e57-4bba-be3b-37f91a30a5b3

Multichain Dashboard to Display your Namefi NFTs

Now you can access your Namefi NFTs from both Base and Ethereum chains. Here is a guide by Sunny to show multichain display (she signed in her Base wallet as a start): https://www.loom.com/share/41d1cd12861c4a4e858f68e054daa4a8 

Initial NFT Transfer from Namefi Dashboard

Now you do not have to go to OpenSea to initiate Namefi NFT transfer. Instead you can transfer your Namefi NFT to another wallet address within the Namefi App itself. 

If you want to transfer your Namefi NFTs on the Base chain, you have to first switch your chain to Base when you sign in. If you want to transfer your Namefi NFTs on the Ethereum chain, you have to first switch your chain to Ethereum when you sign in. Transfer Namefi on the Ethereum chain can be expensive so make sure you have enough ethers before you initiate the transfer. 

Sunny has recorded a video to show you how:

Bug Fixing Report 

We also identified and fixed a few bugs from production, including:

- Service Credit display issue from early phase testers

- NFT Mint delay (Here, thank you Maks (@NFTs_ENS) for also reporting to us how minting in time is so important to you. ) 

Namefi Space Recap

In the past week, we have also hosted three successful Twitter spaces with Shell Protocol (@ShellProtocol), Sapien.io (@SapienGamified), and Namemaxi (@namemaxicom). The space with Namemaxi is especially interesting as it brought together 150 listeners and Kudos to Alex (@notheralexander) for that. Well done!!!

The space with Shell Protocol’s CEO pointed out two very important questions to solve in the Web3 domain market. (1) How can we establish a price discovery mechanism (‘floor price’) for domain names? And (2) Competitors in the space are also cobuilders, so how can we better coordinate to maximize our efforts in terms of innovation delivery? I have published the conversation here https://blog.namefi.io/p/price-discovery-for-domain-names for your perusal. 

It was quite challenging to invite the CEO of Sapien.io to our space last Tuesday, so kudos to Sunny Ray (@sunnyraycom) for hosting the space and give us an inspiration into how ICANN accredited domain names can be used as a global reputation system for identifying decentralized laborers who contribute to machine learning data indexing process.

Victor also runs biweekly (sometimes tri-weekly) ERC developer meetings (@ERCRef) to talk about new Ethereum standards and their adoption challenges and methods. In this week’s meeting (https://app.fireflies.ai/view/AllERCDevs-UTC1700-EU-friendly::doZrUFMbVTsP52X2), what’s particularly interesting to Namefi users is the standard called ERC-6066. Jack Xu (@headcpx) introduced ERC-6066, which aims to enable NFTs to carry their own signatures, distinct from the owner's EOA. This standard is intended for applications where the NFT itself represents identity, such as ENS subdomains and domain signatures. Jack emphasized the usefulness of signing in an official capacity rather than as an individual. In the future of domain co-ownership through fractionalisation, allowing signatures by domains could improve the efficiency of domain management within a corporation or DAO and potentially unlock new user experiences and work flows too. 

Editor Pick of 5 Weekly Domains

We have got an additional of 154 Namefi NFTs minted in the past few weeks. Here are top selections by our editor Sunny (she could have missed other good ones, but here are five for display due to the limited space!) 

Realworldasset.link by rwa.dcl.eth 

Namefi AI Says

realworldasset.link is valuable because it uniquely combines the concept of tangible, physical investments or properties (“real world asset”) with “.link”, suggesting connectivity or a platform related to real-world assets. The name directly appeals to industries such as real estate, finance, and investment, where linking tangible assets digitally is pivotal. This distinct combination enhances memorability and relevance in digital asset management and investment spaces, making it significantly appealing for businesses in those sectors.

xcryptoexchange.com by Bonrolle.eth 

Namefi AI Says

xcryptoexchange.com is valuable because it directly references the burgeoning field of cryptocurrency, combining 'crypto' with 'exchange' to clearly signify its purpose. The 'x' can be interpreted as "extra" or "extreme," suggesting a unique or superior service. As a .com TLD, it gains inherent trust and recognition globally, enhancing its appeal for a business aiming to establish or expand its online presence in the digital currency exchange market.

dApps.Market by Godomains

This domain is automatically URL forwarded to

https://godomains.xyz/

. This domain reminds me of this week’s Gnosis dApp conference called dAppCon in Berlin, Germany. 

Paywallet.xyz by RobinHablani

Namefi AI Says

paywallet.xyz is valuable because it directly implies a financial nature, appealing universally as a transactional or e-wallet platform. The term "paywallet" suggests a secure, digital place for payments and money storage, resonating well with fintech and online shopping industries. The .xyz top-level domain adds a modern, tech-savvy edge, broadening its appeal to startups and new technology ventures looking for a memorable, innovative domain that stands out in a crowded online space. (Powered by Namefi AI™️(beta), could be inaccurate, not financial/trade advice. DYOR.)

nftsnacks.com by A71D96 

Namefi AI Says

nftsnacks.com is valuable because it blends the popular concept of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) with "snacks," suggesting a site offering bite-sized, easily digestible content or products related to NFTs. This domain could appeal widely in the digital art, collectibles, or educational sectors focused on NFTs, attracting investors, creators, and consumers eager to engage with NFT culture in a casual, accessible manner. The '.com' TLD adds broad appeal and credibility, enhancing its marketability. (Powered by Namefi AI™️(beta), could be inaccurate, not financial/trade advice. DYOR.)

Extra perks

Victor also gave a speech at Orange DAO to share how his entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by Orange DAO mentorship (thank you Alex for pointing this out). What a gem!

All @names refer to Twitter handles.

Thank you for reading! See your names on chain!
