The decentralized exchange Uniswap has launched uni.eth subdomains using the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) infrastructure.
Say goodbye to 0x addresses
And hello to ???.??? – your unique web3 username ?
Your uni.eth is a readable username that makes it easy to receive crypto and build your web3 profile ?

Users can replace cumbersome standard Ox addresses with readable names like hayden.uni.eth for transactions on the exchange.
Since the subdomains are based on ENS, they are also supported by “thousands of applications” beyond Uniswap’s products, the team emphasized.
Users can claim one name for free through the mobile app. They then have the option to customize their profile by adding an avatar and extended information, including social media links. However, this is not mandatory, the developers noted.
Earlier in February, Uniswap creator Hayden Adams discovered a scam scheme involving ENS domains.
