Energy Web Name Service (ENS)
Overview
The Energy Web Name Service enables users to map human-readable names (e.g., name.ewc
) to their DID address and create a sub-name for other resources, like an email address or smart contract (e.g., resource.name.ewc
). This is a deployment of the Ethereum Name Service on the Energy Web Chain. The Ethereum Name Service is a distributed, open and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS eliminates the need to copy or type long addresses.
Map simple names like
alice.ewc
to Energy Web Chain addresses, content hashes, and metadata.Improve usability of dApps by returning human readable names instead of long hashes through 'reverse resolution’.
Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over the allocation of subdomains.
