This makes a lot of sense right? If someone wants to send me ETH I can just give them my .eth domain name and poof, we’re off to the races. While there’s no doubt that .eth is a pretty logical name for the domain extension people would use for their Ethereum wallets, I think a lot of people miss the fact that you can use a wide range of domain extensions with ENS like .xyz, .club, and more.

Right now there seems to be a lot of confusion in the crypto world, maybe some of it comes from fud, and the rest from just general confusion but I think a lot of people believe that the .eth domain extension is the only one that works with ENS and well, that’s just not true.

I’ve seen people posting on Twitter quite a bit lately that you have to get your .eth domain or that you should be stock-piling .eth domains because their value is going to the moon, and well, I think that’s more hype than reality. Sure some people will get lucky and sell a name here or there but if you look at the top domain names sales every week, it’s mostly .COM and lately we’re seeing .IO and .CO make their way into the top ten list. For example, here’s the top ten domain sales last week compliments of DNJournal:
