Ethereum Name Service is a protocol that enables users to register human readable domain names for their crypto addresses, making sending and receiving TXs more user friendly. ENS is multi-chain, with .eth working across 100s of coin types, including BTC, SOL, EVM L2s, + more.

Governance concerns and proposals are discussed at discuss.ens.domains. This approach ensures that ENS remains responsive to the needs and desires of the communities who are engaged in governance. Renewal fees from names go to the DAO treasury, which funds the ecosystem via grants and streams to multiple dev shops.
