Users of the “Coinbase Wallet” browser extension can now use an ENS username instead of a long crypto address. This gave Coinbase in one blog entry known.
To make this possible, Coinbase is working with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), the organization behind the popular .eth tokens. In place of long and intimidating wallet addresses, usernames are much more intuitive (“name.cb.id“).
According to Coinbase, they want to further promote the adaptation of an “open financial system” and ensure that “Web 3.0 can be used intuitively by everyone”. The function is therefore free for users of the browser extension. A corresponding integration with the mobile wallet will follow soon.
