In this episode of the Bad Crypto Podcast, Corey Whitaker from ENS Labs discusses the importance of decentralized digital identities with ENS domains. ENS (Ethereum Name Service) provides human-readable names for wallet addresses, simplifying the process of sending and receiving cryptocurrencies. By overlaying human-readable names on wallet addresses, ENS aims to improve adoption by reducing the complexity of these addresses. Additionally, ENS domains can be connected to multiple chains, offering a unified approach to digital identity across different blockchain networks.

Decentralized Digital IDs with ENS Domains:

• What is ENS and how does it simplify the process of sending and receiving cryptocurrencies?
• How does ENS overlay human-readable names on wallet addresses?
• What benefits does decentralized digital identity offer over traditional social media platforms?
• Can multiple ENS domains be connected to the same wallet?
• How does ENS enable individuals to own and control their own identities?
• Apart from dot eth, can other domain extensions be used with ENS?
