8. Open Space for Additional Topics
Q: With Gasless DNSSEC what are ways to tokenize ICANN domains?
A: 3dns tokenizes domain names with sets up gasless DNSSEC (or similar) for the user; legacy way of using DNS with ENS is still possible (import DNS name onto ENS onchain and wrap with name wrapper). Wasn’t heavily used due to the cost (large Ethereum transaction fee). ENS Labs not currently working on separate solution
- Info on 3dns here: What’s the difference between 3DNS, ENS, HNS, and GoDaddy - 3DNS
Additional information on the discussion around intricacies of current DNS system
- RFC is by IETF (equiv ENSLabs / Dev community)
- ICANN is the governance body, (equiv ENS DAO)
- Info on ICANN Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy: Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy - ICANN
- Info on ICANN Extensible Provisioning Protocol: EPP - ICANNWiki
Responsible integration of DNS into Web3 being worked on; needs to mirror life cycle of DNS name
