Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, said it has formally applied to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the .ens generic top-level domain. The update was shared in a post by ENS. The ENS Foundation said ICANN has opened a new round of gTLD applications, and .ens has only one applicant at this stage: ENS itself. With no competing application, the process would not require an auction based on the information provided in the announcement. The development centers on ENS seeking formal top-level domain status for .ens through ICANN’s current application window.
