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.
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.
