Ethereum Name Service (ENS)

[NikeFit_7777]

How it works and what it's for, the answer is below:

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized domain name system built on the Ethereum blockchain. Each domain name registered in ENS is associated with the owner's blockchain address and is represented as a non-fungible token (NFT).

How does Ethereum Name Service work?

ENS replaces manual management systems with Ethereum smart contracts, ensuring security and resistance to censorship. ENS consists of two main contracts:

Registrar - maintains records of registered domain names and stores information about owners and their blockchain addresses.

Resolver - translates blockchain addresses into machine-readable names and vice versa using a hashing algorithm, as well as maps domains to owner data.

I do not think that using the term decentralized domain name system is accurate, as the interaction with the smart contract is centralized, so we can say that it is distributed.
In general, if you are a fan of collecting domains, getting .eth sounds great.
