About
Ethereum Name Service (ENS)
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain, translating machine-readable identifiers like wallet addresses, content hashes, and metadata into human-readable `.eth` names. Its primary purpose is to enhance user experience across the Web3 ecosystem, simplifying interactions with dApps, digital assets, and DeFi applications, much like the Domain Name System (DNS) serves the traditional internet. This on-chain identity layer improves accessibility to blockchain technology by abstracting complex hexadecimal strings, making the decentralized web more navigable.
Technologically, ENS operates via a set of smart contracts on Ethereum. Each registered `.eth` name is an ERC-721 non-fungible token (NFT), guaranteeing users true ownership, transferability, and cryptographic security. The protocol supports reverse resolution, allowing applications to display user-friendly ENS names instead of raw addresses, and can also point to decentralized websites hosted on IPFS. The native ENS token is a governance token, empowering its holders to participate in the ENS DAO. This involves voting on crucial protocol upgrades, treasury management, and parameter adjustments, guiding the future of this decentralized network's naming standard and its tokenomics.
ENS is recognized as foundational Web3 infrastructure, pivotal for enhancing user interactions and establishing a portable, user-owned on-chain identity. By mapping memorable names to various blockchain resources, it significantly lowers entry barriers for new users. This utility positions ENS as a key enabler for the wider adoption of decentralized technologies and is integral to a more intuitive digital ledger. Its role in simplifying complex interactions within the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond underscores its significance in building a more user-centric Web3, fostering growth in areas like NFT marketplaces and decentralized social media.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the SGD/ENS pair and how does it relate to Web3 identity in Singapore?
The SGD/ENS pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing users to purchase Ethereum Name Service (ENS) tokens using Singapore Dollars. ENS is a governance token for the decentralized naming protocol that provides Web3 usernames via '.eth' domains. For users in Singapore, this pair offers a streamlined way to acquire the digital asset needed to participate in the ENS DAO and manage their decentralized identity on the Ethereum blockchain. -
What are the typical payment methods for buying ENS with Singapore Dollars (SGD)?
To buy the ENS digital asset with SGD, users on Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchanges typically use local payment methods like FAST transfers or PayNow for direct bank deposits. Some global platforms may also accept SGD via credit/debit card purchases or third-party payment gateways. All regulated platforms will require KYC/AML compliance before you can execute a blockchain transaction. -
What is the difference between the ENS governance token and an ENS '.eth' domain?
This is a key technical distinction. The ENS token you buy with SGD is an ERC-20 governance token, giving you voting rights in the ENS DAO which governs the protocol. An ENS '.eth' domain, on the other hand, is a non-fungible token (NFT) compliant with the ERC-721 standard. You use these domains as your Web3 username or to point to wallet addresses, but you vote on protocol changes with the ERC-20 token. -
After acquiring ENS tokens via an SGD on-ramp, what kind of digital wallet is needed for secure storage?
Since ENS is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, you need an Ethereum-compatible digital wallet. For secure trading and long-term holding, a hardware wallet is highly recommended as it keeps your private keys offline. For active use, such as voting in the ENS DAO or interacting with dApps, browser-based software wallets are common. Always ensure you are in full control of your private keys. -
How can holding ENS tokens allow participation in the protocol's governance via the ENS DAO?
The ENS token is fundamentally a governance token for its Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). By holding ENS, you gain voting power proportional to your holdings. This allows you to vote on key proposals concerning the protocol's treasury, upgrades, and operational parameters. You can vote directly or delegate your voting power to a community representative, ensuring the decentralized naming system evolves based on user consensus.
