validator.eth

Ethereum Name Service is a protocol that enables users to register human readable domain names for their crypto addresses, making sending and receiving TXs more user friendly. ENS is multi-chain, with .eth working across 100s of coin types, including BTC, SOL, EVM L2s, + more.

We’ve been watching the shift in the industry this past week, seen the questions, and we get it. If you’re building your digital identity, you don’t want it to feel like a feature that can be turned off. At .locker, we didn’t set out to choose between Web2 or Web3. The whole point was to bring them together from day one. .locker is a digital identity that works, and keeps working. 🦾

@ZKDID_ The .eth won't be affected by .ens. No hybrid model has been discussed. ens.domains/blog/post/ican…

@ValidatorEth Yeah, I’ve been a holder for many years. I’m fully aware of DNS import. But that’s not the same as signing a contract in getting into bed with them. They’re strict requirements for being a DNS registrar which could complicate your hybrid model being discussed imo. Good luck 👍

Levanta la mano si tienes tu dirección .eth ! 🤘🏾

That's not what I said. I didn't mention speculation at all. My point is that ENS chose to extend the global namespace (DNS) instead of fighting it for years and then pivoting. And ENS committed to one root (.eth) instead of printing 100+ TLDs as inventory. Those are design philosophy choices, not narrative.

This feels a bit too clean of a narrative. Alt-roots didn’t fail just because they competed with DNS—they failed on UX, distribution, and lack of real utility. ENS also benefited heavily from speculation, so drawing a hard line between ‘infrastructure’ and ‘asset market’ isn’t entirely honest. (I am in the ENS camp fyi)

Anonymity by default. Share access with ENS. Identity when you want it.

Milestone worth noting. ENS should be the first protection against scam. x.com/ensdomains/sta…

The ICANN (Centralized system of the internet) will have very soon real domain names.

@ZKDID_ ENS has extended DNS through DNSSEC imports for years now. ENS/.eth isn't tying itself to the "traditional system" in any way that holds us back. It's exactly the opposite.

@ValidatorEth I just feel sad sadly you’re going down the same road as Ethereum has. Slowly merging back into the traditional system which wasn’t the point. You sign a contract with them and you’re tying yourself to their rules. Opening yourself up to tighter regulations and legal restrictions

Naming your contracts isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about trust. With the “My Contracts” page on Enscribe, you can instantly see which of your deployed contracts already have an ENS name, and which ones are still waiting to be named.

@EmergenceKirk Congrats!

Beautiful drive on the Peak to Peak hiway west of Denver/Boulder to celebrate 30 yrs of marriage to my wonderful and perspicacious wife, Ruth.

ENS 🤝 PayPal PYUSD is scaling to 70+ new markets, bringing human-readable payments to the world. PayPal wallet users can now use their ENS domain for cross-border transfers. The universal identity standard is here.

Every system eventually runs into the same coordination problem: users, applications, and services need a shared way to refer to one another. Our latest piece explores why naming is not just a usability feature, but core infrastructure. 🧵
