ZNS is Coming — The First Layer 2 Domain Name System: ZNS is a Layer 2 domain name service provided by ZKSpace. You are free to register and manage your ZNS domain name, which will represent your Web3.0 identity in ZKSwap, ZKSquare, ZKSea and other Layer 2 products to be launched by ZKSpace in the future. Similar to ENS on the Ethereum mainnet, the role of ZNS is to map 42-bit wallet addresses to human-readable names. While an ENS name ends with .eth, a ZNS name ends with .zks. With any ZNS name, your secure and decentralized transactions on ZKSpace will no longer require copying and pasting long and complex addresses. How does ZKSpace face the Ethereum Merge.
