As the crypto world gears up for the Ethereum Merge<\/a> next month, the number of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) addresses created has surged, surpassing 2 million yesterday, after crossing the 1.8 million<\/a> mark two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

“2m ENS names created!” tweeted the ENS Domains account. “It took 5 years to get to 1m names, then 3.5 months to get to 2m names, and we’re just getting started.”<\/p>\n

According to a Dune Analytics report, the total number of ENS names created is 2,006,083 as of this writing, with 526,558 unique participants and 374,819 primary names (also known as \u201creverse names\u201d) registered.<\/p>\n

Primary names allow Ethereum addresses to point to an ENS name, allowing dapps to find and display ENS names when users connect them to their Ethereum account.<\/p>\n

“2 million on the books and it’s just the start,” tweeted reseller ENS Domain Broker. “Congrats ENS.”<\/p>\n

The Ethereum Name Service<\/a> manages the issuance and renewal of .eth domain names built on the Ethereum<\/a> blockchain. The domains can also be sold as NFTs<\/a> (non-fungible tokens), cryptographically unique tokens that show proof of ownership of a digital or physical object. An ENS name can be linked to an Ethereum wallet and used as the address in place of the usual long string of characters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But ENS domains are not the only name game in town. Last month, ENS’s rival, Unstoppable Domains<\/a>, reached a valuation of $1 billion after a $65 million Series A funding round. Unstoppable Domains said it surpassed two million registered domains on its service in February.<\/p>\n

After ENS Domains crossed 1.8 million earlier this month, Khori Whittaker, executive director of True Names Limited\u2014the company behind ENS Domains\u2014told Decrypt<\/i> that the surge in registration was the result of organic growth in the community.<\/p>\n

“There is an extremely active and passionate ecosystem of ENS advocates, and they are independently and organically creating sub-communities and spreading the word about what’s possible with ENS domains,” Whittaker said in an email.<\/p>\n

Whitaker did not respond to a Decrypt <\/i>request for comment on this latest milestone.<\/p>\n
