Introducing Enscribe-powered ENS Naming Across All Cork Contracts
January 2026
5 mins
Cork is implementing Enscribe-powered ENS naming across all smart contracts, bringing human-readable, verifiable identities to every component of the protocol. This integration strengthens security, improves developer ergonomics, and reduces operational risk for participants building on or interacting with Cork.
Why Clear Naming Matters
In onchain finance, contract verification is non-negotiable. Hex addresses slow down audits, create ambiguity in integrations, and increase exposure to spoofed or lookalike deployments. Many users, auditors, and explorers already rely on ENS names and metadata to validate contract interactions; we are standardizing around that expectation.
Structured ENS Naming Across the Protocol
Cork now assigns every subsystem its own ENS namespace, with each contract receiving a defined subname.

This hierarchical structure creates a coherent onchain directory that mirrors the protocol’s architecture, enabling wallets and explorers to verify authenticity via reverse resolution while minimizing misconfiguration and preventing unauthorized or inconsistent naming.
Benefits for Cork Ecosystem Participants
- Security: Lower phishing and spoofing risk through verified, human-readable contract names.
- Auditability: Cleaner, more reliable mapping between protocol functionality and deployed addresses, reducing review time and misconfiguration risk.
- Developer Efficiency: Faster integrations and fewer address-based mistakes in tooling, routers, and automated workflows.
- Ecosystem Compatibility: Stronger support across wallets, block explorers, and ENS-enabled dashboards.
Strengthening Cork’s Programmable Risk Layer
This integration makes Cork’s onchain footprint more transparent, reliable, and maintainable, reinforcing our commitment to building risk infrastructure that behaves like financial infrastructure.
Enscribe provides the naming tooling and infrastructure that makes this possible, ensuring these identities remain consistent and verifiable across interfaces.
