During @ETHGlobal Tokyo, developers actively leveraged ENSv2 to build solutions for private messaging, collectibles, DeFi, and access control.

We are excited to share the six winning projects that earned a portion of the $10K in ENS prizes 🧵

The @zk_money platform has officially returned, introducing names powered by ENS to its relaunched private payments wallet. Individuals can now secure personalized tags, such as https://joe.zk.money, which offer a highly convenient and human-readable method for transferring and accepting funds. Most importantly, this system ensures that users can transact seamlessly without exposing their financial history to the public by default.

Greetings from Miami at @Sibos! Several members of the ENS team are present this week to discuss names, verifiable identity, and the ways in which financial networks integrate with onchain infrastructure. If you are also attending the event, please feel free to drop by and say hello.

Building a reliable digital presence for businesses is an important step forward. Currently, @GLEIF and ENS Labs are actively researching methods that allow companies to connect their ENS name directly to a verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI). By working together, they aim to help organizations establish a single, persistent, and verifiable identity onchain.

Get ready, Tokyo, because the ENS team is officially on its way. We are thrilled to participate in @ETHGlobal Tokyo this weekend, where we will be providing $10K in prize money. Our itinerary includes hosting a dedicated ENSv2 workshop alongside delivering a featured presentation at Pragma. Furthermore, we are excited to announce a giveaway of 15 tickets to attend Pragma Tokyo. Please review the details below to find out exactly where you can connect with our team.

Finding the ideal structure for an ENSv2 subname ultimately comes down to identifying the rightful owner and determining who holds the authority to make modifications. It is helpful to remember that an individual token is not required for every single subname. While certain names might function perfectly well as basic records within a resolver, others can be configured with independent expiration dates, custom permissions, and distinct owners. 🧵

A wide range of discussions took place at GDC 2026, covering subjects like tokenized assets, credentials, AI agents, payments, and digital identity. Regardless of the specific topic being explored, attendees consistently returned to the same four fundamental infrastructure challenges: interoperability, continuity, trust, and identity. Please read the full summary thread provided by @mely_jpg below.

We are thrilled to present CitizENS, a brand new series dedicated to showcasing the individuals who develop, refine, and guide the direction of ENS.

Taking the spotlight for our inaugural feature is @estmcmxci, whose efforts played a key role in drastically lowering the cost of DNS imports.

Curious about the specific factors that give a name its reliability? Continue reading below.

During the ETHOnline event hosted by @ETHGlobal, developers successfully integrated ENSv2 into a wide range of innovative applications, including tokenized assets, digital inheritance, and AI agents. We are excited to showcase the five outstanding projects that secured ENS awards in this latest competition. Continue reading to discover the winners.

What originally launched as a simple tool to ensure blockchain addresses were readable has evolved into something much larger. At present, ENS utilizes its foundational namespace to seamlessly link chain metadata, records, contracts, protocols, agents, apps, and everyday users spanning 100+ chains. This remarkable progression highlights exactly how a basic naming convention transforms into comprehensive coordination infrastructure.

The architecture of ENSv2 introduces a clearly defined name hierarchy directly onchain. Moving away from a traditional model where all names exist within a single flat registry, this updated system allows each individual name to dictate its own registry, resolver, and governing rules for any subordinate namespace.

Although a contract address points out the exact location of a token, it fails to deliver the whole picture. Simply looking at the address will not reveal the identity of the issuer, the true purpose of the asset, or the source for the most recent updates. To solve this problem, ENS steps in to act as a complete registry layer for tokenized assets.

Real financial markets are now actively adopting tokenized assets, pushing them far past their initial testing phases. Because these digital assets are currently expanding across multiple lending protocols, custodians, exchanges, and chains, the industry requires a highly reliable method to verify exactly what every single token stands for. To fulfill this crucial need, ENS is perfectly positioned to serve as the foundational registry layer.
