ENSDb Writers (Indexers)

An ENSDb Writer is the implementation of an indexing service that implements one or more standards-compliant ENSNode plugins and implements a standards-compliant ENSDb Metadata Writer that stores metadata about the ENSDb Writer.

Build your own ENSDb Writer

You can build your own ENSDb Writer in any language, using any indexing framework, as long as you follow the ENSDb Standard. The ENSDb Standard defines rules and constraints for how an ENSDb Writer should write data into an ENSDb instance in a way that maintains the integrity of the data and supports interoperability with any ENSDb Reader.

Your ENSDb Writer must include:

• The implementation of 1 or more standards-compliant ENSNode plugins.
• The implementation of an ENSDb Metadata Writer that stores metadata about the ENSDb Writer overall, including which ENSNode Plugins it has activated, what the status of indexing is across each indexed chain, etc.

Current ENSDb Writers

New ENSDb Writers Under Development or Discussions

Envio

The Envio team is actively collaborating with NameHash Labs to build another standards-compliant ENSDb Writer that uses Envio as the indexing engine. Their initial ENSNode plugin under development is subgraph, with plans to support unigraph after that.

Amp (Edge & Node)

Edge & Node has discussions scheduled with the NameHash Labs team to investigate the use of their new Amp platform to implement an ENSDb Writer.
