hipr-eth v0.2.4

ETH Middleware

Usage

hipr-eth is hipr middleware that resolves names from ethereum.

firstly, if you don't have a local ethereum light node running, you need one. install geth and start a light node on port 8545

geth --syncmode "light" --http

once the light client is synced, make sure you have hipr installed

npm i -g hipr

finally install the hipr-eth middleware

hipr install hipr-eth

then spin up a server (assuming you have an hsd/hnsd root server listening on port 5349)

hipr hipr-eth :5333 :5349

now you can resolve trustlessly from ethereum!

Example

You can test that hipr is resolving properly by running

> dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5333 humbly.eth +short
184.73.82.1

or

> dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5333 certified.badass +short
184.73.82.1
