IntroductionI want to write this in earnest. I see great potential with emerging, non-tech communities using their ENS to build their unique, sovereign identities on-chain. I've come from a music background, and I see how much impact at the infrastructural level that ENS has had on musicians throughout their on-chain journey. I saw too, just how much excitement people all over the world have about their ENS domain name at Devcon, where over 2000 people used their ENS to claim a special c...

ENS DAO Q4 Grants Review (2022)Review:The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. It is also a Public Good and doubles as a revenue stream for its DAO which is the ENS Protocol's funding mechanism and governance facility (for more on Public Goods read here, please). The ENS Protocol main function is to map human-readable names like oakgroup.eth to machine-readable identifiers (crypto-addresses, metadata, etc.); wh...

IntroductionThe original vision of the Internet buoyed an open, decentralized architecture. A peer to peer system where users held equipotent participation throughout the network. As demand grew, service providers moved away from a P2P system to a Client-Server model. This led to the disenfranchisement of participants on the network. Despite our Orwellian Present, the advent of cryptographic technologies has rekindled decentralized initiatives. The ENS protocol is the ark to a decentralized w...

IntroductionOn April 17th, Taytems.eth, a member of the ENS Labs Core team, announced that the latest version (V3) of the ENS App had been launched on Mainnet. The newly redesigned front-end of the ENS Manager App has undergone a complete overhaul. The new design system not only makes it easier to introduce new features and regular improvements, but it also boasts a faster user interface and a more user-friendly experience. These improvements are expected to encourage more users to fully set ...
