About Ethereum Name Service
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming protocol on Ethereum that maps human-readable names like 'alice.eth' to machine identifiers such as wallet addresses, content hashes, and metadata. Its core business includes primary name registration, subdomain management (e.g., 'name.eth' with unlimited sub-names), and reverse resolution for wallets and dApps.
Market pain point: Long hexadecimal addresses are error-prone and unfriendly for everyday transactions. ENS solves this by providing a single, portable identity across 720+ integrated applications (wallets, exchanges, DAO tools), reducing transfer mistakes and simplifying cross-platform identity.
Core competitiveness: Fully on-chain and censorship-resistant; users own their names as NFTs with no renewal dependency on centralized parties. The subdomain ecosystem enables scalable identity management for DAOs, enterprises, and NFT projects at near-zero cost.
Recent development (Feb–Aug 2026): ENS v2 migration to Layer 2 (using CCIP-Read) cut registration/renewal gas fees by ~90%, boosting new registrations to 340万 total names. Partnership with GoDaddy allowed linking Web2 domains to .eth, while .box domain integration brought ICANN-approved TLDs on-chain. However, secondary market trading volume dropped 35% vs. 2025, and daily active users declined 12% due to broader crypto market slowdown. Subdomain registrations grew 240% year-over-year, signaling a shift toward utility over speculation.
ENS (Ethereum Name Service) was launched in May 2017 by Nick Johnson and Alex Van de Sande via EIP-137, initially funded by the Ethereum Foundation. In 2021, it established ENS DAO with airdrops to early adopters, achieving decentralized governance and transitioning the root key control to the DAO. In 2022, the Name Wrapper was introduced, enabling subdomain management as ERC-1155 tokens. In 2024, ENS Labs announced ENSv2 and the L2 network Namechain based on Linea, aiming to reduce gas costs and enhance scalability. In 2025, the 'Next Era of ENS DAO' proposal was passed, establishing the ENS Foundation as a legal entity to handle real-world operations and compliance, while the DAO retained control over the treasury. These milestones mark ENS's evolution from a simple naming protocol to a decentralized identity infrastructure with sustainable governance.
