ens chain feels like a mistake tbh

doesn’t have an absurd number of transactions or complexity like Uni does

could have probably just migrated to Base

Don't know enough but I've heard arguments that it's one of the more logical choices. Not from a sequencer rev pov but from a better ux pov

ex-/airswap. part time node runner, full time shitcaster, all time higher

Don't know but that's literally what was said though.

They're using zk tech as well so not gonna fit with base architecture afaik

Why would the end user UX be better on their own chain rather than Base ?
