Ethereum Name Service Founder Urges Unstoppable Domains to Drop Patent or Face Lawsuit

Nick Johnson, founder and lead developer of Ethereum Name Service (ENS), has written an open letter on X (formerly Twitter) urging Unstoppable Domains to drop a patent or face a lawsuit. Unstoppable Domains was granted a patent in January that claims to use blockchain technology to determine domains. Johnson claims that the patent is based on innovations developed by ENS and contains no novel innovations of its own. Johnson has requested that Unstoppable Domains put legal weight behind its PR commitment to pledge its patent to the Web3 Domain Alliance.

U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
