Your Dapp isn't finished without ENS
summary
ENS runs entirely as Ethereum smart contracts with a registry/resolver/registrar architecture: registry tracks owners and resolvers, resolvers store records (cryptocurrency addresses, IPFS/Swarm hashes, text, DNS records), and registrars mint names (.eth are ERC‑721 NFTs). It already has 172 integrations (including 44 wallets), multiple JS libraries, browser support for IPFS sites (Opera, Brave, MetaMask), a public resolver people use by default, DNS name integration rolling out, and plans for layer‑2 to cut gas.
