ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is analogous to DNS (Domain Name System) for IP addresses, in that it maps a memorable shortcut to an address. ENS is a distributed, decentralized, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain and a useful tool for developers to create more memorable names for their dapps.
An ENS name can be a subdomain of the root .eth domain, like "example.eth" or any subdomain of a subdomain, like "sub.example.eth", or "wallet.username.example.eth"
Using ENS we can map a friendly ENS name, e.g., "ethereum.eth", to an unfriendly Ethereum address, e.g., 0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359
. Users can then use the friendly name instead of the address, making it easier to remember, and reducing the chance of errors.
