aziz.eth, held since aug 2020, changed hands at 0.4 ETH ($1,005) and the seller wallet sits empty now.
it went to lll.eth, a 174-name whale three buys into a 30-day run. the stack leans letters and digits: stc, ten, 241, plus a spread across the 999, 10k and 100k clubs.
six years on one name, then out.

ENS adoption doesn’t always look like another .eth registration.
ENS is the naming protocol, .eth is one namespace within it. DNS names can be ENS names too, because ENS was designed to extend the internet’s existing naming infrastructure rather than require everyone to replace their names.
That’s why projects can build on .eth subnames, like base.eth and uni.eth, or use DNS names, like https://t.co/7Pt6loWi6E. These are different namespaces using shared ENS infrastructure, not separate naming protocols competing with ENS.
When a naming service independently invents a suffix, issuing those names onchain doesn’t establish authority over that suffix in DNS. Separate systems can end up assigning the exact same name to different people. That creates confusion about whose name an app is resolving, with real consequences when names are used to send money. (.crypto, .sol, .wallet, .agent....)
ENS takes a different approach: integrating with DNS is explicitly part of its constitution. DNS compatibility isn’t a distraction from the protocol’s mission. It’s part of that mission.
I’ve been working behind the scenes with existing web3 naming services to encourage this approach. For projects that already launched standalone namespaces, an ENS/DNS bridge can give their communities a path into shared infrastructure under an existing DNS domain. That’s the progress I’m highlighting.
This goes hand in hand with encouraging apps to support the ENS names people already have. Connecting more naming communities to ENS and making existing ENS names usable in more apps are complementary goals.
I’m not asking everyone to register another name. I’m advocating for projects to build naming systems that work together.
Welcome .hl users to ENS and the global namespace. 🤝
