ENS (Ethereum Name Service)

ENS stands for Ethereum Name Service, which is a decentralized domain name service built on the Ethereum blockchain. It enables users to register human-readable domain names, such as "myname.eth", instead of using long and complex Ethereum addresses.

With ENS, users can associate their Ethereum addresses, IPFS hashes, Swarm content hashes, and other metadata with their ENS domain name. This makes it easy for users to share their Ethereum addresses or other decentralized resources with others.

In order to use ENS, a user must first register a domain name through an ENS registrar. The user can then set up the associated resources for the domain, such as the Ethereum address or content hash. Other users can then use the ENS domain name to interact with the associated resources.

ENS is an important component of the Ethereum ecosystem, as it simplifies the process of sending and receiving transactions and other resources on the Ethereum network.
