Electroneum Name Service (ENS) is Electroneum’s decentralized naming system (inspired by and based on Ethereum Name Service technology). It lets users replace long, complex 42-character hexadecimal wallet addresses (like 0x...) with simple, human-readable names ending in .etn (for example, yourname.etn or alice.etn). It launched on Electroneum’s mainnet (an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain) around early August 2026. Domains are owned as NFTs (using standardized ERC-721 and ERC-1155 implementations), so you can transfer, trade, or manage them in compatible wallets. How it works •  A smart-contract Registry maps the readable name to an on-chain address. •  A Resolver handles the lookups. •  It supports reverse resolution (address → name), so dApps can display friendly handles instead of raw addresses. •  Transactions using these names work in supported wallets and apps. •  Subnames are also possible (e.g., if you own community.etn, you can create user.community.etn). Owners can often issue these with only gas fees, making them useful for communities, rewards, or identity without charging users. Electroneum’s network features (IBFT 2.0 PoSA consensus) give near-instant finality and very low (sub-cent) fees for registering or managing names. How to get one 1.  Go to the official app: ens.electroneum.com (described as “Your electroneum web3 username”). 2.  Connect an Electroneum-compatible wallet that holds some ETN for gas (and any registration fees). 3.  Search for your desired name (e.g., yourname.etn). 4.  If it’s available, follow the registration flow (similar to standard ENS: commit/register steps to prevent front-running, then confirm transactions). 5.  Once registered, the name becomes an NFT in your wallet. You can set it as a primary name, add profile records, create subnames, etc. You can also view domains via the Electroneum block explorer at blockexplorer.electroneum.com/name-domains. Registration and management benefit from Electroneum’s low fees and fast confirmations. Note that full sending support to .etn names depends on wallet/app integration of the official resolver (some tools already offer interim “Pay” options). Why it’s good •  Much better user experience — No more copying/pasting long hex strings or risking typos/checksum errors. Sending ETN, tokens, or NFTs becomes as simple as typing a memorable name. •  Safer — Reduces common mistakes and some address-poisoning risks. •  Web3 identity — Your .etn name acts as a portable handle across the Electroneum ecosystem and compatible dApps. Reverse resolution lets apps show your name instead of an address. •  Ownership and flexibility — Domains are true NFTs you control (transfer, sell, or manage). Subnames let communities, projects, games, or groups issue free or low-cost identities (e.g., player1.yourproject.etn) to build belonging and loyalty without paywalls. •  Cheap and fast — Leverages Electroneum’s ultra-low fees and near-instant finality, making registration and updates practical. •  Ecosystem growth — Lowers friction for onboarding new users and dApps, helping Electroneum scale as a user-friendly blockchain. In short, Electroneum Name Service makes interacting with the network feel more like everyday internet use (readable names instead of machine addresses) while keeping full decentralization and ownership.
