# 25 ENS domains collected (May-July 2022)

I am glad to announce that **25 Ethereum Name Service domains** have been collected in the last 60 days of the [daqhris.eth Crypto Growth Fund](https://daqhris.com/crypto-growth-fund/) operations on public blockchains.

By following a sentiment of belief into the future utility of ENS names, I continued to acquire these NFTs by following a geographic/physical location theme. Most of all recently-acquired domain names are identical to European cities in Belgium and Luxembourg.

To make up my mind and decide what to purchase, I searched on [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) the most populous municipalities in [Belgium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_municipalities_in_Belgium) and the major towns in the [Grand Duchy of Luxembourg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_Luxembourg#/media/File:LuxembourgOMCmap.png). Some valuable names were already registered. But, I managed to grab fairly good ones at nice prices.

Few of them are culturally-significant, like _waasland_ or _titeuf_. Others are river names, like _sambre_ or _schelde_. One reflects the brand name of my digital art gallery made of photography NFT artworks: _awalkaday_.

Here is the full list of ENS domain names that I recently acquired: [**bastogne**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/47981481869610083995936073997732283750222809913612277762499411613608388596160)**,** [**arlon**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/37175990371506618343630317182748641005516084791779894876591226077331592385030)**,** [**wiltz**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/71924468692199580305970361705571463096441564349242283904592910560662735696446)**,** [**schaerbeek**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/6802317926326422009648226167201697992958707245608065619045483375866999955861)**,** [**evere**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/33047800218646875446419866106818048432300230829715846298421827677380560470640)**,** [**wavre**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/84649443065010620436394306958545194316661550183889977901592706683801546109527)**,** [**verviers**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/34615181265182718270749617662033334629958416972999265108616517198138798966445)**,** [**etterbeek**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/93172282763659789033610021346451904407231318975256432550163314082241000809774)**,** [**vilvoorde**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/88512882539052757122224565648597485333118344257475610513657813189205344364549)**,** [**tienen**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/73549132987688483430054924165825242965695545718410413070367911130410844845631)**,** [**waasland**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/82462890668189797935614191651326557008920240338016100079921359817895192605851)**,** [**diekirch**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/55766131003227748612849049255448714016903224760821821662897898980767735378002)**,** [**waremme**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/103228079505473669465938044925571781961902874214820844059067305201111995688306)**,** [**ettelbruck**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/50091251754443053840565995239382603570013464822964924476420516406892412328662)**,** [**clervaux**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/88895248658685041520823896390303895201134403342696889798609608394495218956860)**,** [**willebroek**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/92081337395325765065909814547380308362202806074629203799559208218997936053001)**,** [**meuse**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/97365202193083432748976546813491271006919194810609036242907411146017330782368)**,** [**eupen**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/114642296935461167554330226743406537844442240902872595872194977556726910815549)**,** [**schelde**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/114394444904448829289957423944114181796190101593666054472875251432351583216960)**,** [**escaut**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/98492662326392573802359230547707656725722979796765574152328014648830462107431)**,** [**sambre**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/98656978081170204584090953328403136752112004695015963955947111110569277154361)**,** [**titeuf**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/65644730284410222381577898765872646113709946654946136206463482455841723919936)**,** [**awalkaday**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/39169899511938358875341278893525659713849919625861864453784047524843309591665)**,** [**tongeren**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/107600830312444133621048476645655327474647892773333194154943836637649574214295) **and** [**hainaut**](https://etherscan.io/nft/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85/30307756965251411143493190017892820111185350811339981965394474305124004199879)**.**

Accounting-wise, a total amount equivalent to **0.3423 ETH** (approximately **270 DAI** at the time of transactions) was spent to acquire the 25 domains on the Ethereum blockchain.

**0.1969 ETH** was spent on **gas fees** and **0.1454 ETH** on **ENS fees**.

To check out all collected ERC-721 NFTs, feel free to browse all the transactions on a blockchain explorer: [https://etherscan.io/address/0xb5ee030c71e76c3e03b2a8d425dbb9b395037c82#tokentxnsErc721](https://etherscan.io/address/0xb5ee030c71e76c3e03b2a8d425dbb9b395037c82#tokentxnsErc721).

Also, the ENS app offers a nice display of the assets with expiration dates:

As you may be already aware, I implement a **long-term holding strategy** of not selling soon all digital assets under management. If you are interested in having a **subdomain** (e.g.: _sugar.tienen.eth_) based on these domain names, please reach out by email. I will be happy to assist.
