Ethereum Name Service takes key step toward .ens
The blockchain's naming revolution just filed incorporation papers.
ENS token holders approved a foundation, but the real vote was already cast by ICANN's rules.
A top-level domain isn't just an address; it's a contract with a legacy bureaucracy. Decentralization stops at the DNS root.
The foundation is less about community governance and more about having a single legal entity to sue.
This moves ENS from a protocol to a registrant. The next step will be a long queue and a hefty check.
- The .ens namespace may tie Ethereum addresses to the internet's directory, but ICANN will still decide who can blink first.
