eth names vs basenames vs wallet address sometimes i type peoples eth names instead of their wallet address and it works and sometimes it doesnt work sometimes a website/app accepts eth names and not base eth names long story short i wouldnt feel safe just sending eth to someones base or eth name yet

etherscan.io resolves basic ENS, and there's eth.limo and eth.sucks to see if those are more complex sites. https://www.base.org/names is useful for some marginal diligence. ENS is more secure than DNS, so back in the day degens like me would search for FTP servers that were just a IPv4 address, which was really insecure and sketchy. when in doubt, there should be a legit explorer website that can sandbox what you're looking for before you interact directly.

ahhh okay this is interesting thanks! so check etherscan before sending to see if the wallet address matches and then it should be safe to send?

We've integrated ENS resolution into https://addresso.com FYI. Forwards and backwards. We'll be adding more name services in the not too distant, and including a feature that will let you know if a NS name resolves to a different wallet address now than when you added it. Or indeed if it's expired.
