im pretty bearish on ENS long-term

imo any sufficiently popular cryptosocial product will generate native demand for their own namespace, and be able to charge rent for identities. it'll be more profitable than co-opting ENS

the only truly canonical, interoperable identity is an ethereum address

working on receipts.xyz // workout. earn points. /receipts

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

for sure, we think of NFTs as identity tags (including ENS) so being able to discover/filter by NFTs (identity tags) is what we're interested in building :)

Interesting take. Whether or not ENS is the default in social apps, I think it should be supported. Using your same example: I know you as victorma.eth, so it would be beneficial to nftd if I could also find you via that ENS name rather than *needing* to use an isolated namespace

I’d say your actual wallet address is more analogous to an email. It’s the only true canonical identifier

ENS is just a monopoly right now on what will be a highly competitive market for every sufficiently popular social product
