The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) Implements Layer 2 Interoperability
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is adding Layer 2 interoperability to its decentralized domain name system. This upgrade will allow Layer 2 solutions to interact with ENS domains, making domain name registrations and transactions more accessible and cost-effective.
- Layer 2 interoperability is identified as a crucial upgrade for ENS
- Off-chain mechanisms like Arbitrum and Optimism will handle transactions away from the Ethereum blockchain
- ENS will work with off-chain resolvers and service providers to achieve Layer 2 interoperability
Web-Integrated Domain Names Collaborate with ENS Labs
TLDs such as .art and .box are collaborating with ENS Labs to enable users to register browser-supported names via ENS. Additionally, DNS names will be tradable as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain for the first time.
- Web-integrated domain names will be closely integrated with ENS
- Users can register browser-supported names via ENS
- DNS names can be traded as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain
New Roadmap Feature: Gasless Import of Web Names
In the fourth quarter of this year, ENS Labs will release a feature that allows the import of DNS into ENS with no transaction costs. This “gasless” import has the potential to improve web accessibility to the ENS ecosystem and lower the entry barrier for traditional internet users.
- ENS will introduce a gasless import feature for DNS
- This feature aims to improve web accessibility to the ENS ecosystem
- Traditional internet users will have a lower entry barrier to using ENS
Hot Take: The integration of Layer 2 interoperability and collaboration with web-integrated domain names are significant steps for ENS. By making domain name registrations and transactions more accessible and introducing new features like gasless imports, ENS is expanding its user base and enhancing the overall functionality of its system.
