ENS Name Forward Resolution
x402
ENS Name Forward Resolution is a paid API for AI agents from chain.openverbs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).
Resolves an ENS name (e.g. alice.eth, *.base.eth) to its Ethereum address by reading live from the ENS resolver on Ethereum mainnet
Price / call$0.003

StatusUnknown
Output
Returns the resolved Ethereum address for the given ENS name if found, along with a 'found' boolean. When the name has no address record, returns found:false (a definitive answer, not an error). Supports both mainnet .eth names and offchain names like *.base.eth, with automatic RPC endpoint fallback for reliability.
Example use cases
Resolve ENS before sending ETH
“I want to send some ETH to alice.eth — can you look up what Ethereum address that ENS name points to so I can confirm before I send?”
Verify a Base subdomain address
“What Ethereum address does jesse.base.eth resolve to? I need to check if it has an address record set.”
Validate user-submitted ENS name
“A user just entered degen.eth as their wallet address in our form — can you resolve it to an actual Ethereum address to verify it's valid and find out what it maps to?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://chain.openverbs.com/v1/ens-resolve?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a live, authoritative forward resolution of an ENS name to its Ethereum address, especially when offchain names like *.base.eth are involved. Prefer this over cached or third-party ENS APIs when freshness and correctness matter (e.g., before sending a transaction). It explicitly signals found:false rather than throwing an error, making it safe and easy to handle unregistered names.
Side effects
- ENS name has no address record set — returns found:false (not an error)
- Malformed or non-existent ENS name — may return found:false or an error
- Mainnet RPC congestion — automatic fallback to secondary endpoint mitigates this
- Name exists but only has text records, not an address — returns found:false
