Ethereum Name Services (ENS) has announced the implementation of smart contracts allowing integration of Internet the domain name system (DNS) is now being tested on Ethereum's Ropsten testnet.

The update will allow domain owners to use the .com domain instead of the .ETH point for use in the ENS system. This means that a user who owns [whatever].com an use it in the ENS system without making any changes.

Payments Sent Directly To A Dot Com...

Once registered in the ENS system, the domain will be able to receive payments - not just Ethereum but Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) as well!

This feature is an extension of what's already available with the names XYZ system inside of ENS, which allows to add addresses of other blockchains.

Note that the the system will not apply to third-level domains even if they function as 2LD's, such as 'whatever.co.uk'.

The Wait Won't Be Long...

Sources say the new feature could go live 'in less than a month as long as testing continues to go smoothly'.
