Ethereum Name Service proposes activating ENSv2 upgrade, pausing new .eth registrations on current system

ENS founder Nick Johnson submitted a governance proposal to the ENS DAO seeking approval to activate the ENSv2 protocol upgrade on Ethereum mainnet. If approved, new .eth domain registrations on the current ENSv1 system would be temporarily halted during the transition, though existing domain holders would face no migration deadline and their names would continue working without action.
