Why the ENS Battle Over Eth.Link Matters

An additional problem is that the eth.link name, originally registered with Internet registrar and hosting company GoDaddy, is assumed to be valid until July 2023, according to the ENS lawsuit. GoDaddy reportedly ‘unilaterally’ determined that the domain had expired after it was not renewed in July 2022, a year before its actual expiration, and illegally sold the domain to Dynadot in September of that year.
