# ENS Name Resolver (Hub Europe Germany)

> ENS Name Resolver (Hub Europe Germany) is a paid API for AI agents from gentlepenguin.ccwu.cc:8443, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-26).

Resolves an ENS (Ethereum Name Service) name to its Ethereum address, or performs reverse lookup from address to ENS name, via a pay-per-call endpoint in Europe.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ens-name-resolver-hub-europe-germany-3944240a
```

Example prompt: What Ethereum address does vitalik.eth resolve to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, no-account-required ENS-to-address resolution measured from a European node, paid per call with USDC on Base. Ideal for agents that need to resolve ENS names on-demand without maintaining an API key or subscription, and where European latency is acceptable or preferred.

## Known failure modes

- ENS name not registered or has no resolver set — returns error or null address
- Invalid ENS name format — likely returns an error response
- Address has no reverse ENS record — returns empty or null name
- Upstream ENS resolution service unavailable — request times out or returns 5xx
- Payment failure via x402 — request rejected before resolution

## How this service works

Pay-per-call website uptime/latency/TLS checks and fetch-to-Markdown, measured from Hub Europe (Germany). USDC on Base via x402. No account or API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the ENS name and its resolved Ethereum address (e.g. {"name":"vitalik.eth","address":"0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045"}). For reverse lookups, returns the ENS name associated with the provided address.
