The Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a popular blockchain-based domain name provider, has announced a new “ENS Points System” today. This system assigns points to each .eth domain name based on a proprietary algorithm that considers factors like registration data and account activity.
According to the announcement, each .eth domain name has been assigned a point value based on a proprietary algorithm. This algorithm factors in registration data, account activity, and “much more,” though the specifics remain undisclosed.
ENS is encouraging users to participate by entering their .eth name to discover their accumulated points.
This points system injects a layer of gamification into ENS domain ownership. The potential benefits and purpose of these points are not yet fully explained by ENS. However, it could indicate a future loyalty program with rewards for high-scoring domains, or a way to prioritize certain domains in search results.
