The decentralized domain name system, Ethereum Name Service, wants to provide a better experience for its users. The team behind the project recently unveiled its roadmap. This action plan outlines all future enhancements to the system, including an extension to the Layer 2 ecosystem.
A layer 2 to improve the scalability of the system
Ethereum Name Service makes it easy for its users to manage their public keys. It allows them to replace their complex wallet addresses with simpler domain names. A true breakthrough solution, ENS has experienced impressive growth over the past year.
For the project team, there is no question of stopping on such a good path. It therefore provides for many improvements to make the service more efficient. According to crypto news outlet The Block, the Ethereum Name Service team is considering an extension to the Layer 2 ecosystem. They plan to implement Layer 2 interoperability with ENS domains. A change that will improve the scalability of the system.
More concretely, this change will make records and transactions more accessible to many users. To do this, the Ethereum Name service team plans to use off-chain resolvers thanks to the necessary contract and having the support of many providers, such as the cb.id project operated by Coinbase, OptiNames (on Optimism) and Lens Protocol (on Polygon).
Another feature meant to improve user accessibility to the ENS ecosystem
The Ethereum Name Service team’s roadmap plans to import the DNS domain name system into ENS with no transaction fees, thus making it “gasless”. According to the team, this is a feature that could improve the accessibility of traditional Internet users to the ENS ecosystem. The release of this feature is scheduled for the third quarter of the year.
ENS Founder and Lead Developer Nick Johnson confided on these improvements. He declares : ” Gasless DNS names and expanded Layer 2 interoperability, which we plan to launch before the end of Q3, are the next steps in our goal of making ENS names the standard for decentralized digital identity in the Web3”. Nick Johnson adds: These types of development are essential for us as we work to simplify onboarding and increase the accessibility of Ethereum and crypto. “.
After the success of Arbitrum Layer 2, Ethereum Name Service therefore plans to extend to this ecosystem as well. A progress that will benefit its users.
