Google now shows Ethereum Name Service wallet balances in search results

#Googlenow shows wallet balances associated with#EthereumName Service#ENSDomains in search results.

The Ethereum naming service offers human-readable domains, such as example.eth, that can be linked to Ethereum wallets, simplifying the process for cryptocurrency holders to send money to other wallets.

In May 2023, Google introduced native support for Ethereum wallet balances. Initially, users could search for a specific public address and see the wallet balance directly in the search results. This functionality has now been extended to ENS domains, as noted by former ENS core team member Brantly Millegan.

This means that anyone can search for an ENS domain in search results, and Google provides the wallet balance of the blockchain address associated with the domain, as well as the address itself. The data comes from Etherscan and the balance is displayed as of the last external transaction.

However, it appears that this service is not universally available. Some X users noticed that it was not showing up in search results. Millegan noted that the feature worked more consistently when using private browsing mode or when disconnected from Google services.
