ENS is the Ethereum Name Service, a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) started auctioning domains in May. You can see how that is going here: https://registrar.ens.domains/

ENS can be used to resolve a wide variety of resources. The initial standard for ENS defines resolution for Ethereum addresses.

This is helpful because instead of having to ask people to send ETH to your address 0x012s0m3th1ng012s0m3th1ng012, you can just tell them to send lots of ETH to mycoolname.eth.

A list of Ethereum domains that you might find entertaining or that you could speculate on:

janedoe.eth      messenger.eth   stanford.eth
0009001.eth      lemonparty.eth  teeeeee.eth

Auctions are staggered, so don't think that it is too late to buy the perfect name for you. Some of them won't be available for another 30 days.

Let me know if you buy any of these!
