May 28, 2024, 01:23 PM

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has announced a proposal to upgrade its protocol to a Layer 2 network, referred to as ENSv2. This move aims to enhance scalability and efficiency by leveraging Layer 2 solutions. ENS Labs has not yet determined which specific Layer 2 stack will be used, though there is consideration of using zkSync's stack. The upgrade also includes a plan for a new hierarchical registry system. This proposal signifies a significant re-envisioning of the ENS architecture from the ground up.
