The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has long been a cornerstone of user-friendly decentralized identity in web3. Our new collaboration with Para marks a significant leap forward in accessibility, enabling users to register ENS names using email, social logins, or phone numbers—no crypto wallet required.
Why Para Was Chosen for ENS Integration
After extensive technical evaluation by ENS Labs, Para emerged as the ideal partner due to its innovative approach to wallet authentication:
- MPC-Powered Security: Utilizes distributed multi-party computation (MPC) and passkeys for secure, passwordless logins
- Universal Wallet Portability: Users maintain one consistent wallet across multiple applications
- Simplified Onboarding: Eliminates the need for browser extensions or seed phrase management
This strategic alignment allows ENS to extend its reach beyond traditional crypto users while maintaining robust security standards.
