Why read Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?

Read ENS when you want to understand what a blockchain name lets its users control. The ENSv2 subnames guide distinguishes records held in a resolver from names represented as transferable tokens. Its examples show why a display name, an owner and permission to edit a record are different concepts, and how retained administrative permissions change a service's trust model.

The ENS and GLEIF article applies that distinction to organizational identity: a readable name and a verifiable legal identity provide different kinds of information. It describes work in development, including a proposed standard, rather than a completed identity service. ENS Labs authors these selected technical explanations; ENS's protocol, development organization and community governance remain distinct parts of the project.
