Web3 Domain Name Service Could Lose Its Web Address Because Programmer Who Can Renew It Sits in Jail
1Members of the ENS DAO community will now see an empty page with a green domain expiration notification banner at the top when they visit the eth.link website.
This is because Virgil Griffith, the only person with the power to renew the name, is serving a 63-month jail term for assisting North Koreans in using bitcoins to bypass sanctions and has been unable to renew the domain from prison. According to a notification released late Friday on the website of domain registrar GoDaddy, eth.link expired on July 26 and will be returned to a domain registry on September 5, where it will be available for anybody who is able to take it.
