ENS submits proposal to activate ENSv2 upgrade on Ethereum mainnet

Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a decentralized identity protocol that allows users to register and manage human-readable names ending in .eth, is seeking approval from its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to deploy a major upgrade to its naming system, known as ENSv2, on Ethereum’s mainnet. Nick Johnson, founder of ENS, submitted an executable draft proposal that outlines the activation steps for ENSv2. The proposal requests the community’s approval to begin freezing new registrations on the existing ENS registrar while allowing current domain owners to continue renewing their .eth names uninterrupted.
