## What Jamie wrote

I've been playing with a number of Web3 applications and using a name for your Ethereum wallet makes everything much easier to use. [I registered `thingelstad.eth`](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/04/10/registered-thingelstadeth-on.html) and a handful of other names on ENS. I also registered `thingelstad.xyz`, which is a DNS name but registered on ENS as well. This announcement extends the trust model that ENS built for `.xyz` and extends it to other DNS top-level domains. The DNSSEC requirements in the [step-by-step guide](https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/step-by-step-guide-to-importing-a-dns-domain-name-to-ens-d2d15feb03e8) are a little challenging, but only because many DNS providers doin't support the specific requirements. The [comparison to ENS registration](https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/how-eth-names-compare-to-dns-names-imported-to-ens-ab855a6dbdb2) is a very good read because there are still good reasons to use `.eth` as well. DNS is centrally controlled, and if some entity could make up a reason to remove my rights to `thingelstad.com` they could. However, that isn't possible with `thingelstad.eth`, which is owned in my wallet and is an asset (technically it is an NFT!). 

This is a good step towards merging web3 concepts into the existing web. DNS and ENS collaborating, and then getting better wallet integration in browsers, creates a pretty amazing on-ramp for crypto powered capabilities.
