A distributed namespace system is pretty cool (https://ens.domains/)

Good idea, however it's a shame that this is sitting on a very inefficient blockchain, its TLD already collides with Ethiopia and to renew requires paying for the highly expensive gas fees which isn't great if you own multiple subdomains.

The subdomains on ENS (which are all sitting on the .eth TLD) are also going to be in good hands; surely. /s

You still need to pay gas fess to approve and move it there.

Just look at the disaster that the ENS domain holders are experiencing by wasting thousands on gas fees just to claim ENS tokens. [0]

Smart contracts enable all sorts of utility that we are still just barely scraping the surface of.
