## What Jamie wrote

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a one of the most important projects to make Ethereum services easier to use. I have thingelstad.eth and many other ENS names. However, traditional DNS and ENS need to blend in a way that is completely transparent to users, and this is a huge step:

> This will make it possible for anyone with a DNS name to ENS-enable it by setting DNS TXT records, with no onchain gas fees whatsoever.

[The pull request](https://github.com/ensdomains/ens-contracts/pull/203) has more details:

> This PR implements a new resolver that can be set as a wildcard resolver for any TLD other than .eth. Once set, it resolves all subdomains that do not exist in the registry by making CCIP-Read calls to a DNS gateway, which returns signed DNS TXT records. It verifies those using the DNSSEC oracle in a call operation, and thus makes it possible to find the resolver for a name without any gas required to set it.

Brilliant bridge to connect two incredible important systems.
