Just posted the Q1 2026 report for @ethidorg, an @ENS_DAO Service Provider building out the Ethereum identity stack. Best quarter we've ever had 🔥
Some highlights:
Grails 🏆 @grailsmarket
➡️ https://t.co/fSiiTVrmbJ
Grails (the best @ensdomains manager & marketplace) grew *a lot* in Q1 in new features, refined design, and users. And with results:
- Facilitated 99.35 ETH (~$205k) to the ENS DAO for registrations and extensions
- Facilitated more ETH to the ENS DAO than the ENS App on two days (Jan 26 and Feb 15) 👀
- Regularly facilitates more Extension events than the ENS App
- defi.eth sold for 15 ETH, law.eth sold for 7.5 ETH using Grails broker tools, etc
What users say about Grails
“Grails is a staggeringly strong ENS tool. What a beast.” - @DoggieWish
“Grails is an absolute game-changer for ENS and my daily ENS go-to. Seriously can’t recommend it enough.” - @bama_eth
“THE BEST! 🏆” - @iman_evm

- Improvements to profile cards, more socials options, Edit Profile button can now go to custom link, tagged ENS names in bios can now go to profiles on your app, etc
Misconfigured Wrapped Names
We identified 1,700 misconfigured wrapped names and paid ETH to fix them. Happy to help the ENS community on this one 🤝

Where ENS becomes more than just a naming system
Naming systems are often discussed in terms of user experience, making addresses more readable, payments more intuitive, and digital identity easier to navigate.
Their deeper value is that they allow different entities across networks to coordinate around a shared identity layer.
This is why naming has always mattered on the internet. DNS is valuable because it gives browsers, applications, and services a shared way to resolve identity and location. The same logic applies onchain.
As crypto becomes more complex, the coordination problem also becomes more significant. Users, wallets, applications, protocols, AI agents, and chains all need a consistent way to identify one another and resolve the right data across environments..
A single ENS name can serve as a consistent reference point for far more than a wallet address. It can point to contracts, records, interoperable addresses, chain metadata, and other forms of machine-readable identity that different systems need in order to work together.
ENS isn’t only making crypto more legible for humans. It’s also becoming part of the shared naming infrastructure that enables the broader ecosystem to coordinate identity across applications and networks.

Web3 communication just leveled up.
🚨 Announcing Resolvio 🚨
A lightweight, high-performance ENS resolution API.
Free, open source, no API key needed.
Bulk resolution, built-in caching, agent-ready, and more...
Let's dive in 🧵
https://t.co/Jq5fHMxHrn
Ethereum Name Service is the leading blockchain naming system and continues to grow in users and integrations (most web3 wallets/dApps, Paypal, Venmo, Godaddy).
It supports most major coin types and extends the global namespace, DNS, instead of ignoring it or trying to compete with it.
The focus has always been open, neutral infrastructure. That’s what makes ENS the only sustainable web3 naming service. You can even import your DNS names into ENS and use them the same way you can use a .eth.
ENS 🤝 PayPal
PYUSD is scaling to 70+ new markets, bringing human-readable payments to the world. PayPal wallet users can now use their ENS domain for cross-border transfers.
The universal identity standard is here.
🧵 1/
The SEC just did something the market is NOT understanding.
It cited ENS as an example of a “digital tool”.
And this changes more than it seems.
👇
Your ENS name does not have to end in .eth.
If you already own a DNS domain, you can now use it as an ENS name onchain.
DNS twins are now live through Doma ⤵️
⚠️ We're seeing an uptick in phishing emails targeting ENS users.
ENS will never email you asking you to migrate your name, claim a reward, or connect your wallet. If you received something like this, do not click any links.
Stay safe out there. When in doubt, go directly to the ENS website.
