Ethereum Name Service

About Ethereum Name Service

"Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that translates human-readable names like ""alice.eth"" into machine-readable identifiers such as wallet addresses, content hashes, and metadata. Unlike traditional DNS, ENS operates through smart contracts, giving domain owners full, permissionless control over their names and subdomains without relying on centralized authorities. The ENS token is used for governance, allowing holders to vote on protocol upgrades and policy decisions. Widely integrated across wallets, dApps, and Web3 platforms, ENS has become a foundational identity layer for the broader Ethereum ecosystem."
