You might be knowing about DNS(Domain Name Service) which is a web2 based service to get your domain name which helps you uniquely identify your IP address.
But how about getting a ENS on web3 to get rid of your long wallet address which might look something like this 0xcdgfhjg3459fjggege..t2ee45. Its might be daunting for you to copy and paste such long address again and again to receive your ethers into your wallet.
Lets be a cool kid to get our own ENS on web3.
First Lets get an ENS for your wallet address ,start by opening up the website Here. We will be using fake rinkeby tesnet ether to make all the transactions.
Note-You must have some fake tesnet ether in your metamask wallet.Getting ENS is super easy you don't have to use your real ether or money to buy this.
Make sure your metamask wallet is connected to the site. Search for an ENS domain name, any name you like, as long as it is available.Click on Available to check the availability of ENS Name. Now,Simply click on request to register go on making transactions with your fake ether to complete the request .After the completion of two steps when the progress bar enters the 3rd step, Click Register.Then after the progress bar finishes click on Set As Primary ENS Name. From the dropdown then select the ENS name you just created. Click Save. Now instead of your remembering long wallet address you just need to remember your ENS Name. Now you have an ENS registered to your address on Rinkeby.
Note-The registered ENS will work only with the Rinkeby Testnet Ethereum network.It has nothing to do with mainnet ethereum blockchain.
