Identity in Your Apps
summary
ENS converts long hex addresses into human names and serves as a portable web3 profile with avatars and bios stored as text records. It explains forward and reverse resolution and the reverse registar now runs on L2s (Arbitrum, Base, OP Mainnet, Linea, Scroll) powering L2 primary names so users set primary names cheaply. DNS and subdomains enable hierarchical names, and a concrete build, Fluid Key, dynamically resolves names to fresh addresses for privacy. Practical takeaway: replace displayed hex addresses with ENS names and use the ENS docs and tools to integrate.
