How Base Name Service improved response time with Dispatch

Written by Esprezzo Team | August 1, 2024

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.

BNS added their Base Registrar Controller smart contract to Dispatch, enabling real-time monitoring of relevant domain activity.

Step 2: Automating real-time Telegram alerts

To improve team coordination, BNS created a Patch (automation) to deliver real-time alerts for key domain events to a dedicated Telegram channel, ensuring timely updates for the entire team.

Dramatic boost in team efficiency

The shift from manual tracking to automated monitoring freed up valuable time for the BNS team. No longer bogged down by manual tracking, the team now has more time to focus on high-value tasks that drive business growth.

Enhanced team communication and awareness

Real-time alerts for key business-impacting activity now appear in the team’s dedicated Telegram channel, keeping all team members informed without extra effort. Having a shared data stream or timeline of important domain-related activity has improved teamwork and helps avoid miscommunication.
