Base Name Service (BNS) is the primary naming service on the Base network, simplifying how users link memorable names like "bob.base" to blockchain identifiers such as crypto wallet addresses. As BNS domains grew in popularity, managing the increasing number of domain registrations, renewals, and transfers became challenging. The team turned to Dispatch for efficient domain activity monitoring and real-time updates.
Challenges: Scaling domain management for a growing user base
As BNS attracted more users, they faced significant challenges:
- Manual processes became a bottleneck: Tracking domain activities manually was time-consuming and inefficient.
- Demand outpaced capacity: The surge in domain-related tasks overwhelmed the team, making it difficult to manage peaks in user activity.
- Delays from inconsistent communication: Keeping team members informed about important domain updates became challenging, leading to inconsistent communication and coordination issues.
Client objectives
- Improve domain monitoring: Gain timely insights into domain events, including registrations and transfers.
- Boost resource efficiency: Automate tracking to enable the team to focus on new features and community engagement.
- Improve team coordination: Ensure all team members receive updates on domain activities for better communication.
- Prepare for growth: Create a scalable monitoring system to manage an expanding user base and domain registrations.
