Recent Important ENS News:
1️⃣ Namechain L2 Development Plan Adjusted, Focus Shifts to Ethereum Mainnet Development
ENS Labs has officially shelved its original independent expansion plan for Namechain L2 and decided to focus entirely on developing ENSv2 on the Ethereum mainnet. Previously, ENS planned to collaborate with Linea to develop Namechain as a dedicated Layer 2 network, but this strategy has been abandoned. This adjustment reflects a reassessment of the project’s technical direction, shifting toward a more stable mainnet integration approach.
2️⃣ Cautious Attitude Toward Layer 2 Networks Drives Strategic Reassessment
As the Ethereum ecosystem’s understanding of Layer 2 risks deepens, ENS Labs has reevaluated its expansion route. The project conducted an in-depth risk assessment of Layer 2 solutions and ultimately chose to upgrade and optimize the ENS system on the Ethereum mainnet. This decision underscores a focus on ecosystem security.
3️⃣ Ecosystem Integration Continues to Expand, Supporting Fundamentals
ENS has integrated with over 600 applications, maintaining high levels of domain ownership and domain counts. The extensive ecosystem partner network and growing on-chain applications provide stable fundamental support, strengthening ENS’s position as a Web3 identity infrastructure.

ETH 15-minute surge up 0.92%: On-chain transaction volume spikes and whale transfers drive the breakout
From 2026-04-02 13:45 to 2026-04-02 14:00 (UTC), the ETH price showed a clear move. The 15-minute candlestick return was +0.92%. It traded in a range of 2018.99 - 2040.78 USDT with an amplitude of 1.08%. During this period, on-chain activity increased significantly: the number of transactions grew by 18% compared with the previous hour. Capital flows accelerated noticeably, and rising market attention contributed to heightened volatility.
