Ethereum’s ENS to Launch Dedicated Layer-2 Blockchain: Namechain

Ethereum’s ENS Gets its Own Layer-2: Namechain

\n

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is taking a significant step towards scalability and efficiency with the launch of its own dedicated layer-2 blockchain, aptly named Namechain. This development promises to enhance the user experience and address the limitations of Ethereum’s mainnet.

\n

Namechain will leverage a zero-knowledge rollup technology for scaling, allowing for faster transaction speeds and lower fees. This approach bundles multiple transactions into a single batch, significantly reducing congestion on the main chain.

While the exact launch date is still under wraps, the current estimate points to the end of 2025. Once live, Namechain is poised to become a critical component of the ENS ecosystem, further strengthening its position as a leading decentralized identity and naming system.
