While #NFT liquidity is drying up and market sentiment is low, #ENS domains have seen a surge in transaction volume under such dire circumstances. Why?
1)  @1confirmation cofounder Nick Tomaino changed his Twitter name to 1492.eth last month and explained why #ENS is the perfect #NFT collection:
Widely accessible minting that offers creative freedom to anyone who wants in; Exclusive collections (10k club) within that command a big premium; Useful beyond speculation (can be a wallet addy or website).
This represents an emerging community consensus---- #PFP serves as the avatar and #ENS serves as the name, both of which are a kind of symbol of individual identity on social media.
2)  Domain name have been one of the most valuable digital assets in the history of the Internet. In 1999, Sky Dayton and Jake Winebaum bought Business.com for a whopping $7.5 million and sold it in 2007 for $345 million.
As the web3 version of DNS, many people hope to replicate this success by hodling .eth. An anonymous buyer recently bid $1 million for the #ENS domain "Amazon.eth", after "Samsung.eth" and "Starbucks.eth" are also sold for 60 ETH.
3)  By mapping a human-readable domain name to an #Ethereum address, #ENS creates an accessible network for users, paving the way for #web3 mass adoption. But #ENS domains are separated from #NFT market, which indicates that more and more speculators are swarming into it.

#Web3 security incidents are now happening with increasing frequency, and everyone could be the next victim. Here is a #web3 security guide for users.
1) Double check the project’s official website. In 2020, many phishing websites disguised themselves as @Uniswap and appeared on the page of @Google search result, causing property loss to some users.
To some extent, @Google searches are untrustworthy; you should develop the habit to use well-known cryptocurrency data aggregator like @CoinMarketCap, @coingecko, etc. In a word, don't rely on the search result only.

#NFT domain name has endless possibilities. I am glad to see @unstoppableweb has made exploration and innovation in this direction.
1)  @unstoppableweb was launched in 2019 and provides digital identity solution based on #NFT domain names. Users can buy multiple domain names including .crypto,. NFT, .x, .dao and .bitcoin.  in @unstoppableweb.
In addition to replacing the long wallet address with a simple and easy word, #NFT domain names of @unstoppableweb can also be used to create decentralized websites. As of September 11, the websites created through @unstoppableweb Domains have reached to around 30,000.
