Ethereum Name ServiceHyperliquid and ENS tease 25 laser-etched name collectibles
Hyperliquid's India community account teased a collaboration with ENS: 25 physical collectibles, each laser-etched with a holder's ENS name, reserved for early adopters. The reveal was posted on X by @Hyperliquid_In and amplified by ENS's official account. Claims close at 8 PM IST on Nov. 1, and the items will be handed out at the House of HYPE event on Nov. 3. Details of the minting or distribution process beyond the claim link have not been shared yet.
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.
