Ethereum Name Service Returns For Relaunch
May 4, 2017, marks the relaunch for the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), which was plagued by bugs on its initial launch forcing it back into development. ENS team member Chris Remus, on a Medium blog post, announced the relaunch.
When active on the Ethereum Mainnet, an auction process will distribute ENS names onto the '.eth' domain. The blind auction process is fully described on Github, a site used by developers.
Those who wish to register domain names will have an eight week period during which the names will become available, and users will be able to look up when specific domain names can be bid upon.
