+# Offchain Subnames on Darwinia Chain
+
+## Project Description
+
+This project aims to implement an offchain subnames solution for the 'darwinia.eth' Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain but keeps the subname records on Darwinia Chain. 
+
+It leverages the EIP-3668 specification to enable efficient and cost-effective management of subname-address mappings off the Ethereum mainnet. By storing these mappings on Darwinia Chain, the project offers a scalable approach to handle a large number of subdomains without incurring high gas fees.
+
+The solution utilizes a customized OffchainResolver contract on Ethereum, which works with a gateway service connected to the Darwinia Chain. This setup allows for seamless resolution of subnames (e.g., 'foo.darwinia.eth') while maintaining the security and decentralization benefits of the ENS.
+
+This project addresses the need for efficient subdomain management within the Darwinia ecosystem, as outlined in the RFP (https://github.com/ringecosystem/collaboration/issues/61), and demonstrates the potential for cross-chain interoperability in domain name services.
+
+### This project will benefit the Darwinia ecosystem in the following ways:
+
+1. It will provide a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage subdomains on the Darwinia Chain, reducing the need for users to pay high gas fees on Ethereum.
+2. It will enhance the usability of the 'darwinia.eth' domain by allowing users to register, update, and resolve subnames with reduced costs and improved performance.
+3. It will demonstrate the potential for cross-chain interoperability in domain name services, opening up new possibilities for collaboration and innovation within the Darwinia ecosystem.

+
+## Additional Information
+
+Please note that this grant includes contract and solution contributions from Itering. As Itering’s work is provided separately as a Service Provider to RingDAO, compensation for these efforts is not included in the grant amount. The full grant reward will be allocated to Aki for fulfilling the grant scope, with Itering offering the necessary support.
+
+#### Future plans
+
+1. Cross-chain data fetching with storage proofs.  
+   This solution does not require a independent signer. Instead, it uses the data availability feature of Darwinia Chain.  
+   Ref: https://github.com/ensdomains/evmgateway
+
+2. Fully offchain subname resolution.  
+   This solution will be fully offchain. It will not require any onchain interaction.
