ENS makes it easier to manage your Ethereum addresses because now instead of some long string of random characters, you can have a human-readable address. So you can tell someone to send you ETH to yourname.eth instead of the 0xABCDEF123456.... You can also do subdomains, so for example, you can do alice.mywallet.eth if you own the mywallet.eth domain name.

I first started using th Click here to see more...ese in 2017 but back then the UI/UX was horrible in terms of registering a .ETH name (through the 3 day auction system). Now the whole process is much more improved, 2.5 years later. And many wallets these days support these types of Ethereum address names, so it's much easier to use.

One concern though is if you care about privacy, then don't name it firstname.lastname.eth lol. Because you'll effectively be "doxxed".
