Add support for ANS in Sonar

[jakub-wojciechowski]

It will be most useful in the search box but we may also translate contract addresses and owner names.

This API could be helpful:

Hmm, haven't decentdotland moved to EXM? If so, their contracts are no longer compatible with the original SmartWeave protocol and as such should not be integrated into any of the Warp tools - as no one will be able to verify those contracts' state (plus it won't be possible to evaluate the state in DRE nodes).

I would ask ar.io about their ANS - if it supports contracts (or in general - any kind of transaction id->name mapping).

If not - I believe we should implement our own "CNS" (we've already had one, that additionally supported versioning - https://github.com/redstone-finance/redstone-smartweave-contracts/tree/main/src/contracts-registry https://github.com/redstone-finance/redstone-smartweave-contracts/blob/main/src/__tests__/contract-registry.contract.spec.ts) and integrate with SonAR and directly with SDK (e.g. so that user could write in the SDK warp.contract('warp-token').readState()) - it should be trivial to implement and could even serve as another introductory tutorial for the academy; after all - the naming system was the reason why the SmartWeave was originally created in the first place :-)

hey @ppedziwiatr! ANS uses plain SmartWeave, and is only a proxy for wallet addresses so it would be possible to add human-readable usernames to the explorer for who deployed or interacted with Warp contracts. Similar to how ViewBlock integrated it:

For a simple UI integration, it'd only be necessary to call the ANS REST API on addresses to check against whether ANS has a record for them (at the moment there are 576 users with a domain).

Thanks @xylophonez , we will take this into consideration!
