· 2026-04-18T17:59:09+00:00Lots going around about the @eth_limo DNS attack and what this means about ENS+IPFS website security. Fortunately, it appears this attack wasn't as bad as it seemed at first: 1) No malicious records were actually served due to DNSSEC (cryptography works) 2) It was the fault of
· 2026-04-18T09:36:35+00:00This didn't age well (but rapidly) - eth.limo got hijacked! I'm VERY excited about resilience tech like @ensdomains and Martin had to tame my enthusiasm so many times because ENS is just not resiliently available to normal people and, to be fair, often makes
· 2026-04-18T18:51:48+00:00Looking at the traffic stats for my domain and was surprised to see this. LOL - what are you guys looking for? There's nothing there
· 2026-04-18T09:22:38+00:00this is why browser-native IPFS and ENS resolution is important web infrastructure.
· 2026-04-18T12:45:25+00:00We haven't pushed the adoption of ENS+IPFS hard enough, and now the usage of DApps is going to be affected by mass DNS hijacking. AI can audit smart contracts, but DNS and centralized frontends will always be the weak link if we continue like this.
· 2026-04-18T13:15:16+00:00Why did I buy another 3 digit ENS? It's been an outright embarrassing week (actually a few years) for the ENS DAO. They are looking to increase prices on 5 character domains when they've spent years disparaging holders/collectors as "squatters" and making core protocol decisions

· 2026-04-18T20:59:48+00:00As the internet becomes more alive, it stops being a simple network and starts becoming a real place in that place, the most important question is no longer just whats true? Its whos real, what is original, and what can be trusted? #ENS is the base layer for identity, reputation
· 2026-04-18T14:56:57+00:00ENS gateway @eth_limo announced on X that their DNS servers were temporarily compromised early this morning. As of now, name server records have been restored and it is safe to visit our marketplace and other eth.limo sites. This is something that can happen to

· 2026-04-18T00:07:26+00:00Since 2021, many have held premium ENS domains — but the long bear market and rising renewal fees have tested their patience. Some gave up. That’s okay. The ones who truly believe in this project are still here, still holding, still building. Yes, the NFT market is slow right
· 2026-04-18T00:29:30+00:00We've had A LOT of new participants in the ENS DAO speak up AGAINST Nick's proposal. If you have not yet made an account on the @ENS_DAO , go make yours today. Start posting your personal perspective! This is where we get our voices heard.
· 2026-04-18T16:49:52+00:00eth(dot)limo is compromised, so now your ens will go up to $15/y
· 2026-04-18T12:51:40+00:00Every person in the ENS community is valuable, and if I were part of the team, I would treat them as a real asset, avoid accusations, and engage better. I also strongly disagree with people who don’t provide real criticism and are constantly negative, complaining, or insulting.

· 2026-04-18T11:32:03+00:00Without browser integrations or native desktop clients for ens, ipfs and arns/arweave, this attack vector will always exist. s/o to the @eth_limo crew, high integrity dudes who I'm sure are doing everything they can to get things back online safely.
· 2026-04-18T14:03:52+00:00In 2022, the 999, 10k, and 100k clubs made outstanding contributions to promoting ENS. OpenSea even created category filters for all three groups.
· 2026-04-18T09:02:48+00:00I'm against raising ENS prices from $5 to $12. The problem isn't the price; it's that less than 0.001% in Spain and many countries know about ENS. Before squeezing more out of existing users, invest in marketing and adoption. The serious part: this decision erodes trust in the
· 2026-04-18T09:12:57+00:00My Recommendation for ENS @ensdomains @ENS_DAO Instead of raising prices, invest in marketing. Invest in adoption. Make ENS known to the billions of people who still don't know it exists. Build trust through reliability and simplicity.
· 2026-04-18T12:16:01+00:00ENS is the most credibly neutral way to bring a DNS name onto Ethereum.
· 2026-04-18T18:04:00+00:00If ENS didn't exist, we'd undoubtedly have a naming protocol for Ethereum with a less apt name.
· 2026-04-18T18:27:36+00:00JUST IN: The Eth limo domain was hijacked through a DNS registrar attack. Vitalik Buterin urged users to avoid all URLs from eth limo. The ENS gateway team is working to restore service.

· 2026-04-18T15:27:33+00:00And honestly, the so-called “squatters” are often the visionaries. People don’t register ENS domains randomly, they see future use cases and potential. These are exactly the people who should be contributing ideas and helping shape ENS.
· 2026-04-18T16:44:57+00:00Understand what is being rebuilt. ENS is not a layer on top of the internet — it is part of a new foundation for digital interaction and ownership. This isn’t an extension. It’s a rebuild. The assumptions behind identity, trust, and access are being rewritten from first

· 2026-04-18T09:03:21+00:00I oppose raising prices from $5 to $12. The problem is not the price, it's that less than 0.001% in Spain know what ENS is. Before extracting more from existing users, invest in marketing and adoption. What's serious: this decision erodes trust in the protocol.
· 2026-04-18T12:00:15+00:00Think past the obvious. ENS is not just a naming tool — it represents a fundamental shift in how identity is owned and expressed online. This isn’t an improvement. It’s a redefinition. The way individuals present themselves, transact, and build reputation across the internet
· 2026-04-18T18:21:45+00:00What happens when a name becomes infrastructure? ENS is no longer just a naming convention — it signals a revolution in how identity, ownership, and access are defined online. This is not a cosmetic change. It is a new paradigm. What was once a technical detail is becoming a
· 2026-04-18T09:04:01+00:00The current quiet period for web3 is the best time we've had in a while to get ENS embedded into developer and organisational workflows to ensure projects have rich onchain identities.
