☺️ I'm so proud of what we've built at
It uses an off-chain ENS -> L2 (OP) bridge, enabling wallet naming on day one.
*.HNS domains can be resolved using *.HNS.ID. They can be used in MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and any dapp that supports ENS w/CCIP. 🧵

Buying domains on OpenSea is painful, the UI is clunky and fraud is rampant. I have built

@ensdomains
and help filter out the noise.

This is pretty amazing. The world's 2nd largest

ENS just raised the initial price to register an expired domain name to $100,000,000 (!). That premium rapidly decreases over 30 days to zero. With this one weird trick they have ensured there will never be a parasitic drop catching industry like the one that exists under
@ICANN
.
As of now, ENS now uses an exponential curve for premium pricing for recently expired names.
Anyone want to spend $97.2M on structures.eth?

.com is 37 years old, has 150 million names, and people started squatting 20 years ago for $10 a name. if your namespace is valuable/desirable then squatters will have no effect on long term viability. they actually do a fine job discovering fair market value for unused domains.

All other staked TLDs can use the HNS.ETH bridge. Bare TLDs work too, here d.hns.eth refers to the .d/ TLD.
Ultimately we hope to increase adoption for
