Ethereum Name Service (ENS) announced on social platform X late yesterday (28) that it plans to fully upgrade ENS and migrate the ENS protocol from the Ethereum mainnet to the Layer2 network.
Users will benefit from the low fees of Layer2
ENS officials said that the upgrade aims to migrate its core functions from the Ethereum mainnet to the Layer2 network to enhance its scalability and reduce transaction fees. However, ENS has not yet selected which Layer2 network it will eventually migrate to.
In addition, ENS has also proposed a new "tiered registration system" to more efficiently manage .eth domain names, including managing subdomains and configuring resolvers. In this regard, ENS founder Nick Johnson said: ENS v2 will introduce a tiered registration system for .eth domain name management, and domain name holders will have access to a unique domain name registry where they can manage subdomains and configure resolvers.
ENS cooperates with Intercap to integrate .box domain name
It is worth mentioning that on the 23rd of last month, ENS officially announced its cooperation with Intercap to introduce .box domain name into the ENS management application. The official said: This is the first time that the top-level domain (TLD) approved by ICANN has been integrated into the platform, marking a major leap in the integration of traditional network and blockchain technology, connecting Web2 and Web3 in an innovative way.
ENS officials pointed out that the uniqueness of .box domain names is that they run on the chain, which means that .box domain names can not only be used for URLs and emails in the general Internet, but also as a cross-platform personal Web3 identity, which has the following important significance:
Promote adoption: Users accustomed to the traditional Internet will find it easier to adapt to the transition from the familiar traditional DNS TLD to Web3, which can accelerate the adoption of ENS
Extended functions: Integrating DNSTLD will help enhance the functions of ENS, allowing users to enjoy the advantages of decentralized services while using traditional domain names at the same time
Strengthen network effects: The integration of Web2 and Web3 technologies will promote the active participation of developers
Catalyze technology integration: This integration marks an important step in the integration of centralized and decentralized network services, showing that the network model is shifting towards a user-centric approach
Note: In the future, ENS may be expected to integrate .com or more common domain names on the traditional network.
