What is Ethereum Name Service (ENS)

ENS (ENS/USDT- Trade it Here) is the governance token of the Ethereum Name Service DAO – a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata. ENS also supports ‘reverse resolution’, making it possible to associate metadata such as canonical names or interface descriptions with Ethereum addresses. This article explores the core features and overall tokenomics of ENS (plus ways of how to buy and earn ENS on MEXC).

Core Features of ENS

ENS has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Ethereum blockchain. Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains.

• Namehash. Namehash is a recursive process that can generate a unique hash for any valid domain name, making it possible for ENS to provide a hierarchal system, without having to deal with human-readable text strings internally.
• DNSSEC (The Domain Name System Security Extensions). Establishes a chain of trust from the root key which is signed by ICANN (.) and down through each key. Given DNSSEC is enabled and an ETH address is put into the subdomain of the domain you own (eg: _ens.yourdomain.tld), ENS manager allows anyone to submit the hash of the chain to DNSSEC Oracle smart contract
