Ethereum Name Service Launches Multicoin Support and DNS Integration

What’s New with Ethereum Name Service?

Crypto enthusiasts, rejoice! The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has announced a new feature that will make life a tad easier for those juggling multiple wallets. Starting from now, you can use one ENS name across various cryptocurrency wallets. Yes, you heard that right! Say goodbye to wallet confusion.

Multicoin Support: A Game Changer

As per their recent Medium post, ENS is rolling out multicoin support with 15 wallets already on board. This means you’ll finally be able to consolidate your blockchain identity. Currently, the feature supports popular cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), and Ethereum Classic (ETC), though there’s a promise of expanding this functionality shortly.

Wallets Ready to Roll

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the wallets that are eager to adopt this feature:

D’CENT Wallet
Coinbase Wallet
Bitcoin.com
Opera
TrustWallet
imToken
Portis
MyCrypto
Haven
Atomic Wallet
Squarelink
Coin Request
DexWallet
Enjin
Wyre

Now that’s a roster of wallets that can make life a lot easier!

Beyond Just .ETH

But wait, there’s more! ENS is not just stopping at multicoin support. The team aims to integrate the DNS namespace to support diverse domains such as .org, .com, and others. Already, they have implemented support for domains like .xyz, .luxe, .kred, and .art. The intention is clear: ENS wants to make itself a household name in the digital realm.

DNSSEC-enabled Domains Coming Soon

ENS has big plans, aiming to roll out support for all DNSSEC-enabled top-level domains soon. This could open up a gateway for even more crypto enthusiasts to fill the ENS universe with their unique identities.

Bug Be Gone: A Brief History

In case you missed it, early October saw a hiccup where ENS name auctions were halted due to a bug. This bug unintentionally awarded domain names to the wrong users and at lower bids. But fear not—our friendly neighborhood hacker, who managed to snag 17 names during the chaos, returned all the domains to their rightful owners shortly after. So, all is well that ends well!

ENS is forging ahead with some significant backend updates that may just redefine crypto identity management as we know it. Buckle up, the future’s looking exciting!
