Inquiring minds may want to know: How does one acquire an ENS name on Etherscan? For those unfamiliar with the process, it can be a bit daunting. ENS, or Ethereum Name Service, is a decentralized, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to map human-readable names like "alice.eth" to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses.
To obtain an ENS name on Etherscan, one typically needs to go through a registrar, which is a smart contract that handles the registration and management of names. The process typically involves sending a transaction to the registrar with the desired name and any necessary fees.
So, how does one embark on this journey? First, identify a reputable ENS registrar. Then, follow the registrar's instructions for registering a name. This often involves connecting a wallet, selecting a name, and paying the registration fee in Ethereum. Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the name is yours and can be resolved to your Ethereum address via Etherscan and other compatible tools.
Can anyone enlighten us further on this process or share any tips for a smooth ENS name acquisition?
