It’s time to ship complete & correct ENS integrations - wallet apps especially.
Users shouldn’t have to think this hard about basic safety. Hex addresses are fugly, and wallet flows & apps that don’t properly support ENS can feel that way too.
Put ENS on the roadmap, then move it closer to the top. Your users deserve it.
Just made a new video explaining what a Primary ENS name is and how to set it. Thanks to @184eth for support. 🙌

Missing the @ensdomains ❤️
Excited to share my conversation with @PatrickAlphaC, co-founder and CEO of @cyfrin, the team behind @CyfrinUpdraft (one of the best educational resources in Ethereum).
We cover Patrick's hardware wallet side-quest (sorry for talking about hardware wallets for too long!), why crypto is a better system than tradfi, the importance of OSS, and viewing education as positive-sum.

ENS infra is working exactly as designed.
Human-readable names. Real websites. Over a million content hash records resolved.
Companies are building on subnames — not just for fun, but for scale.
We know you’re all pumped for Namechain. But we’re not just building an L2 — we’re building a whole new ENS.
Today, we’re launching the ENSv2 Hub: a single place to learn about everything that’s coming and stay up to date on our progress.

ENS devs, got a minute?
We're running a quick survey to learn how you're building with ENS — and how we can make it better.
Your feedback helps shape the tools, docs, and features we build next.

ENS names carry history.
vitalik.eth wasn’t registered by Vitalik. Someone else registered it first, then gave it to him.
“ENS Evolution Wrapped” on https://t.co/bWC0ugPyos by @justaname_id lets you explore the full lifecycle of .eth names - from origin to now.
Every name has a story. What's yours?
6/🧪 How to protect yourself:
🔸 Always double-check full wallet addresses
🔸 Never copy from past transactions
🔸 Use @ensdomains (Ethereum Name Service) when possible
🔸 Use wallets with whitelisting or address book features
Just made a video on the ENS name grace period! Thanks to @184eth for taking the time to help me out.🫶Really appreciate it! @ensdomains

I’m now leading growth at @ensdomains! If you’re going to be at ETHDenver and working on digital identity, L2 interop, based rollups, want to issue subnames, or want to integrate ENS into your app, let’s talk.
I’ve been feeling inspired getting to know my teammates and the wider ecosystem of projects building on ENS over the past couple weeks. Web3 as a term has definitely fallen out of vogue, but one thing that did click when I explained it to people outside our bubble is that one the greatest omissions among foundational internet protocols was the lack of a public, user-owned, open-source identity layer. What we got instead is the closed-source data mining monopolies like Meta and X. How many of you have been so close to deleting a social media profile if it were not for the value of your social graph?
In practice today, the closest thing we have to a universal identity layer is ENS. But I think it is can be even more than that. In the abstract, I think of a .eth name as a container that allows claims to be associated with it. It could represent the financial history of a public asset like an ETF or an organization’s treasury; it can be a universal profile that points to your other social media accounts; or as Linea has been exploring, a way to prove your humanity. I’m also still excited about seemingly outlandish ideas, like using names to confer rights and financial power to non-humans. (for example, trees: https://t.co/orxN0TbKrW)
We’re heads down building Namechain and ENS v2 this year, but there’s also opportunities to continue integrating ENS with registries, fintechs, L2s, and RWAs. I have many interests beyond crypto, so you won’t only be seeing me post about ENS, but books I’m reading, global politics, films, music, the NBA, and gardening. Here’s a little taste of ideas that inspire me: https://t.co/VHjvqa7wI1
ENS names transform how AI agents interact with users, providing clarity, trust, and a frictionless experience for messaging, payments, and wallet management in the Web3 ecosystem.
