Ethereum Name Service

ENS, which stands for the Ethereum Name Service, witnessed a phenomenal increase of more than 50% in the value of its governance token on Wednesday. 
The abrupt increase in price may be ascribed to the influential endorsement provided by Vitalik Buterin, one of the co-founders of the Ethereum blockchain. 
Investors were energized and the ENS token reached unprecedented heights as a result of Buterin’s unequivocal declaration concerning the project’s importance.

 All L2s should be working on (trustless, merkle-proof-based) CCIP resolvers, so that we can have ENS subdomains registerable, updateable and readable directly on L2s.

ENS presently has a circulating quantity of 30 million tokens, resulting in a market capitalization of over $404 million. 
Buterin emphasized in a statement on&nbsp;X the necessity for all Layer-2 solutions to concentrate on the development of trustless, Merkle-proof CCIP resolvers.

Buterin underscored the significance of ENS, pointing out&nbsp;the imperative for cost-effectiveness in its functioning. The designation “L2s” refers to blockchains at the most fundamental layer, Layer-2, which significantly improves the scalability of a Layer-1 blockchain by enabling transactions to occur at a quicker pace and at a lower cost.
