On May 28, the Web3 arm of Nike, named ‘RTFKT’, bought the new Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain dotswoosh.eth for ETH 19.72 (generally Rs.29 lakh). This brings the all out count of RTFKT’s ENS holding to ten. The ENS is an extensible, open, and disseminated, naming framework in light of the Ethereum blockchain. It is equipped for aiming understandable names like ‘xyz.eth’ to machine-clear identifiers.
In addition to dotswoosh.eth, RTFKT likewise has ownership of artifacts.eth, rtfkt.eth, skinvial.eth, drmos.eth, mintvial.eth, dreamos.eth, spacedrip.eth, dripcoin.eth, and m2tekno.eth as ENS areas, as per the report.
While Nike has not provided the reason behind its new ENS expansion, speculations are purportedly pointing towards an opportunity for the footwear monster to involve it for giving ENS subdomains that are observed and constrained by the holder of the fundamental domain.
With Nike getting dynamic in the NFT space, it may be wanting to permit its NFT holders to enrol for ENS subdomains under the dotswoosh.eth fundamental area.
Any individual or organisation that claims an ENS becomes ready to get cryptographic money, token, and blockchain-based resources. Nike’s ENS space buys could likewise be indicating a possible intent to empower crypto instalments for its very good quality games shoes.
“Our findings suggest that ENS is showing gradual popularity during its four years’ evolution, mainly due to its distributed and open nature that ENS domain names can be set to any kinds of records, even censored and malicious contents. We have identified several security issues and misbehaviors including traditional DNS security issues and new issues introduced by ENS smart contracts,” a report by Cornell University claims.
All things considered, for the present it’s inevitable before Nike at last gives an explanation on its ENS buys with future declarations.
In the interim, Nike isn’t the main footwear mammoth that is investigating the ENS area.
