Every time I try to read hexadecimal crypto addresses, it gives me an aneurysm. Some addresses have an ENS, but most (anons, contracts) won't. Wat do? I spent a weekend hacking together Onoma: human-readable names for hexadecimal addresses.

We're one year into NFTs. The narrative has been around finally paying artists for their work & 10k PFP communities. This is a fraction of the possibilities. The next phase: earned NFTs. Today we release Birthblock, the first in a series exploring the power of earned NFTs. 🧵

Onomastics is the study of the history and origin of proper names, especially personal names. For addresses that don't have an ENS yet (or never will), it's much easier to read and remember a name...
