Ethereum Name ServiceENS awards six ENSv2 prizes at ETHGlobal Tokyo
At ETHGlobal Tokyo, ENS handed out $10K in prizes across six projects applying ENSv2 to access control, DeFi, collectibles and private messaging.
- Best Use of ENSv2: Relay ($3K) delegates API access across teams and AI agents via ENS-named identities; ENS Drive ($2K) lets teams manage entire branches of names; Tide ($1K) uses ENS names and records for liquidity strategies that cut arbitrage losses; Kura ($1K) attaches ENS names to physical trading cards holding condition and appraisal data, with share trading.
- Best Integration into an Existing Project: Radius ($2K) uses ENS subnames as credentials for network and API access tied to each person's role; Lortnoc Tahc ($1K) uses ENSv2 subnames to control who can read encrypted conversations hidden inside ordinary public posts.

Ethereum Name Service
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain.
ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata. ENS also supports ‘reverse resolution’, making it possible to associate metadata such as canonical names or interface descriptions with Ethereum addresses.
ENS has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Ethereum blockchain. Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains.
Top-level domains, like ‘.eth’ and ‘.test’, are owned by smart contracts called registrars, which specify rules governing the allocation of their subdomains. Anyone may, by following the rules imposed by these registrar contracts, obtain ownership of a domain for their own use. ENS also supports importing in DNS names already owned by the user for use on ENS.
