Description
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that simplifies the Web3 user experience by replacing complex hexadecimal addresses with human-readable names (e.g., yourname.eth). These names are user-owned NFTs, providing a consistent identity for crypto wallets, websites, and more. As a community-driven non-profit and public good, ENS is governed by the ENS DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization where holders of the $ENS governance token vote on the protocol's future. The DAO manages the protocol, its treasury, and a grants program to fund ecosystem projects. Community members participate in governance through forum discussions, off-chain proposals on Snapshot, and on-chain voting via platforms like Tally and Agora. Key partners include Coinbase, GoDaddy, and Uniswap, and the project is actively involved in the broader digital identity conversation.Category: Infrastructure
