ENS

ENS, also known as Ethereum Name Service, is a decentralized domain name system built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to register and manage domain names that end in .eth. These domain names can be used to associate human-readable names with Ethereum addresses, making it easier for users to interact with decentralized applications and services.

One of the key features of ENS is the ability to resolve domain names to various types of resources, including Ethereum addresses, IPFS hashes, and other decentralized identifiers. This means that users can use a single domain name to access different types of content, depending on how the domain name is configured.

For example, if a user registers the domain name "public.icon.eth" on ENS, they can associate it with their Ethereum address, making it easier for others to send them cryptocurrency or interact with their smart contracts. Additionally, they can also associate the domain name with an IPFS hash, allowing them to host decentralized websites or content that can be accessed using the domain name.

To interact with ENS, users can use various tools and interfaces that support the ENS protocol. These tools allow users to register, manage, and resolve ENS domain names. One such tool is the ENS Manager, which provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with ENS.
