How ENS Complements and Goes Beyond DNS
summary
ENS runs on Ethereum and reports 300,000 names with about 100,000 users and 250+ integrations. It discourages squatting, stores records on-chain in binary, supports roughly 110 blockchains for address records, and already serves decentralized sites via IPFS/Swarm with the ethe.link gateway. DNS names like brainly.xyz can be imported (currently on Ropsten/Ropson testnet, mainnet deployment imminent), there’s a bug bounty, funding now comes from .eth registrations plus grants, and layer‑2 record storage is in development.
