Just yesterday (22nd), Brantly Millegan, a core member of the ENS team, posted on the social platform X, stating that this feature has now been expanded to wallets associated with ENS domain names, and the balance will display the most recent transaction. This greatly enhances the user’s search experience, as it is difficult for anyone to remember a string of wallet addresses.

Additionally, in response to some users who reported not getting the desired results, Brantly Millegan also added that using private browsing mode or logging out of Google services during the search makes it easier to obtain the corresponding results. Based on tests conducted in the dynamic zone, it appears that search results are more likely to appear in private mode, but it is not guaranteed to be successful every time, indicating ongoing integration efforts.

What is the ENS domain name service?
ENS stands for Ethereum Name Service, which is a decentralized domain name system built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows us to condense complex wallet addresses or even web pages into short characters like “XXX.eth,” making it convenient for users to transact and search, significantly improving the usability of the Ethereum blockchain.
