> The answer is simple: once you lease (ENS only works with leases, just like traditional domain registrars, so I'll void the term "buy") a web3 domain, there is no one that can unilaterally take it away from you.

This is all in the context of someone who didn't pay their domain renewal, and so it lapsed a few weeks later. How would this system behave differently?

This is also in the context of namecheap blocking people in Russia, not just "someone forgot to pay their renewal".

Anyway, if you don't want to use ENS because they don't transfer the domain NFTs indefinitely, you might be interested on foreverdomains.io
