Ethereum Name Service ens
What is Ethereum Name Service?
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming system on Ethereum. ENS names map human-readable names like 'alice.eth' to Ethereum addresses, content hashes, and other identifiers. ENS is the governance token.
What problem does Ethereum Name Service solve?
Ethereum addresses are long hexadecimal strings that are difficult to remember and prone to errors. ENS provides human-readable names that map to addresses and other resources.
How does Ethereum Name Service work?
ENS names are ERC-721 NFTs representing ownership of a name. Users register names through the ENS registry and set resolver records. ENS token holders govern the protocol through the ENS DAO.
