ENS Labs has proposed expanding the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) protocol to a public Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain or creating its own network as part of the next project version, ENSv2. The developers believe this will enhance scalability and lower user costs.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has entered into a partnership with GoDaddy, the global leader in domain registration. This initiative paves the way for users to seamlessly link their conventional Web2 domains to Ethereum names, all at zero extra cost.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to challenge the validity of a patent held by the competing blockchain domain name project, Unstoppable Domains (UD).

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) lead developer Nick Johnson has accused the Unstoppable Domains project of patenting technology that relies on innovations developed by ENS.
