Cobo recently offered to send me their Vault Pro, a hardware wallet focused on “see what you sign” security, which they’re presently adding Ethereum support to. They didn’t ask for anything in return, and I assume they expected I’d give it a try and maybe tweet about it. Unfortunately, they…

With the proliferation of layer 2 solutions for Ethereum that are starting to reach maturity, it’s important that ENS is able to provide resolution services across the entire ecosystem, as well as making it possible for ENS users to take advantage of the efficiencies made possible by Layer 2 solutions…

The ENS team has been made aware of an issue relating to the migration of ENS .eth domains to the new registrar, where those names are owned by a contract such as a multisig wallet. If the multisig wallet’s fallback function consumes more than the default ‘gas stipend’ of 2300…

This is the culmination of a partnership between myself and Minds & Machines that we’ve been working on behind the scenes for nearly a…

We’re delighted to announce that as of today, it’s possible to claim your .xyz domain name on ENS! We’ve been working on this feature for a while, and it’s been possible to test it on Ropsten, but as of today, .xyz names are now supported by ENS on mainnet! What does this mean? This…

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) received a $1 million Ethereum Foundation (EF) grant in May. Since then, we’ve renewed our efforts to build an organisation able to solve the challenges required to develop a robust, trustworthy distributed naming system. …
