Ethereum Name Service (ENS) witnessed its 3rd biggest revenue in August, with 2.17 Million unique domains marking their presence on the service. In a Twitter post declaring the latest achievement, ENS Domains stated that it generated 2,744 Ethereum (nearly 4.3 Million USD at the time) in revenue and 34,000 new Ethereum accounts utilizing at least 1 ENS name during August. The organization also claims that it produced over 99% of domain sales on the biggest NFT marketplace, OpenSea.
ENS or the Ethereum Name Service handles the issuance and (dot)eth domain names developed on the Ethereum blockchain. Users can connect the ENS domains to the digital asset wallets, this means that rather than offering a long Ethereum address to a sender, they can give their (dot)eth names to receive transactions.
ENS domains can be treated as non-fungible tokens, cryptographically distinct assets linked to actual and virtual content, representing the holder’s ownership. Registration numbers of ENS domain names have escalated in numbers. In July, ENS Domains’ ownership crossed 1.8 Million users, with 378,000 (dot)eth registrations.
