Coinbase’s ENS integration goes live
Coinbase‘s Ethereum Name Service (ENS) integration is live, changing wallet usernames to an ENS subdomain of Coinbase IDs. Users can change their ENS names once a year and use them in any manner they choose to, as long as it complies with Coinbase’s Subdomain Terms — which have yet to be announced.
ENS is a decentralized identity infrastructure provider, and its integration will allow Coinbase users to use a personalized and decentralized form of identification within the Web3 space. To make the ENS migration as fast as possible, Coinbase will store the new usernames off-chain for the time being. The exchange said it is planning to further decentralize by carrying them on-chain. The current Coinbase usernames are also built on top of ENS infrastructure and, therefore, a type of ENS.
