ENS (Ethereum Name Service)
A blockchain-based naming system on Ethereum that maps human-readable .eth names to wallet addresses.
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain that maps human-readable names (like "alice.eth") to Ethereum wallet addresses, content hashes, and other records. ENS names are registered as NFTs on Ethereum and managed through smart contracts. They eliminate the need to memorize long wallet addresses and serve as decentralized identity across Web3 applications.
