Idk, maybe it's just because I've already gotten used to ENS addresses, but I'd rather not have something that works become fragmented because w3 who's been asleep at the wheel on this feels left out and wants to remain relevant.

How would DNS work with this? If it's chain agnostic then it doesn't seem possible to register names like you can now with them on Ethereum.

They’re different things. We generate the DID when the user creates an account. We use wallets to create that DID.

The issue of ENS is a side one. We do happen to have domains (and issue subdomains) on ENS, but that’s to have a pretty URL to resolve the DID. They’re not interdependent.

DIDs are not meant to compete with ENS addresses. They solve different problems.
