Ethereum Name Service
About
Ethereum Name Service is a decentralized, open-source naming protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that maps human-readable domain names like.eth to machine-readable cryptographic identifiers, smart contract addresses, content hashes, and metadata. Governed by a decentralized autonomous organization, the protocol simplifies web3 user experience by replacing complex hexadecimal blockchain addresses with memorable usernames across crypto wallets, decentralized applications, and traditional domain name systems. The system supports multi-chain addresses, decentralized website hosting, and cross-platform identity verification across hundreds of integrated applications.
Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of Ethereum Name Service
- .eth Domain Registration: Decentralized domain name registration service on the primary blockchain network where users register native .eth domain names for specified renewable timeframes, generating protocol registration and renewal fee revenue paid to the community treasury.
- DNS Name Integration: Infrastructure protocol allowing owners of traditional Domain Name System domain names to import and configure existing internet domain extensions into the decentralized naming registry without changing traditional domain registrars.
- Layer 2 Offchain Resolution: Cross-chain resolution protocol enabling off-chain database and Layer 2 network name resolution via wildcard resolution and gateway services to reduce transaction fees for decentralized identities across scaling networks.
- Primary Web Application: Web-based dashboard interface allowing users to search available domain names, register primary identities, manage records, configure multi-chain resolver addresses, and delegate subdomains across decentralized networks.
- Subdomain Management System: Custom namespace management tool allowing enterprise applications, protocols, and communities to issue, organize, and administer hierarchical subdomains for onboarding millions of wallet users and routing multi-chain transactions.
- Protocol Governance Framework: On-chain decentralized autonomous organization governance structure enabling token holders to submit proposals, vote on protocol upgrades, allocate treasury funds, and manage parameter settings through executable smart contracts.
