Ethereum Name Service (ENS) saw lifetime record domain registrations in 2022 amid a broader market frenzy that saw some traders treating the domains as investments.

Data from Dune Analytics show over 630,000 unique wallets created 2.82 million domain names, with 459,000 of those classified as “primary names.” Primary names are ENS addresses that resolve to a user’s crypto wallet and can be used as a proxy to search for information on blockchain explorers, such as Etherscan.
