ENS Labs, the developer behind the Ethereum Name Service, is exploring a new institutional identity use case with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation, or GLEIF. The two groups are looking at how organizations could connect their ENS names with verifiable Legal Entity Identifiers, known as vLEIs, to create persistent and verifiable on-chain identity records.
ENS functions as a naming and identity system in the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing users to replace long wallet addresses with human-readable names. GLEIF oversees the global Legal Entity Identifier framework, while the vLEI serves as its verifiable form for confirming an organization’s legal entity identity.
According to the public post cited by ChainCatcher, the effort is aimed at bridging on-chain naming with regulated legal-identity credentials. Neither side has disclosed a specific product structure or a launch timeline.
