We are pleased to announce that the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) will be at the EDCON hackathon and conference in Sydney, Australia this April!

We are dedicated to making 2019 the year of improving blockchain UX, and we see ENS as an integral part of that. We believe that in every instance a user might otherwise see an Ethereum address or content hash, they should instead see an ENS domain. (See our docs on how to easily integrate ENS into your dapp.)

We will be a sponsor of the EDCON hackathon, offering information to all the participants on how to integrate ENS, and special prizes to the best projects that do. Our lead developer Nick Johnson will be present to give a tech talk on ENS, mentor participants, and judge the final projects. We’re also working on setting up a system to give each hackathon participant their own free ENS subdomain, so stay tuned if you’re going!

We’re also looking forward to sticking around for the EDCON conference that immediately follows, in which Nick will be giving a talk on new developments in ENS coming up this year.

So if you’ll be in Sydney, please find us and say hi! We’d love to help your project integrate ENS to improve the experience of your users and the whole ecosystem.
