# ENS

[ENS](https://ens.domains/) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system built on Ethereum, is the most widely integrated blockchain naming standard, your Web3 identity. Own your username, store an avatar and other profile data, and use it across services. 

With the [ENSIP-12: Avatar Text Records](https://docs.ens.domains/ens-improvement-proposals/ensip-12-avatar-text-records) you can link any [DystoPunks NFTs](https://litepaper.dystopunks.net/introduction/dystopunks) to your ENS and our metadata stored in the [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech/) makes it easy to do.
