How to set up your own ENS!

Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?is a blockchain equivalent of Domain Name System (DNS), but with more uses. It is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the?Ethereum?blockchain.

Why ENS?

Here are some advantages of creating and using an ENS:

• You can create a personalized and straightforward ETH wallet address
• You can use it to store all of your addresses and receive any cryptocurrency, token, or NFT
• You can also launch your own decentralised websites with ENS

I created my own ENS today → ‘nidhi.eth’!

Here’s an explanation of the process in 5 steps: ??

Step 1:

Go to apps.ens.domains

Type the .eth name you want and check it’s availability.

Step 2:

Click the register button to complete the process. A MetaMask confirmation will be asked.

It will take a few minutes for the transaction to be completed.

Step 3:

Link your Ethereum address to your domain name, by setting up the resolver. Click on Use Public Resolver.

Step 4:

Set a reverse name lookup by clicking Reverse Record. Select your ENS name and save.

Step 5:

Add your BTC and ETH addresses in ‘Add/Edit Records’

That’s it!

It’s a good time to own a crypto domain name, if you haven’t already :)
