EtherID is the one of the earliest ownable and transferable DNS projects on the Ethereum blockchain, launched on Nov 29, 2015. The project was created by developer Alexandre Naverniouk, and is a precursor to the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). It also precedes both ERC-20 and ERC-721 token standards. In EtherID's smart contract, the project is referred to as the Ethereum Name Registrar. The total EtherID supply for the years 2015 to 2018 is 33,721. Please note that all EtherIDs may be renewed for up to 2 million blocks (~9 months). Therefore, like ENS, it's necessary to renew them periodically. The contract was upgraded, 32,301 assets migrated, and verified on June 28th, 2016.
The domain name is a hex value, interpretable as a UTF8 encoded string. Since EtherID domains are a key/value pair, you can store “values” (IPFS, Arweave etc.) in them and have it resolved via various methods. The EtherID smart contract features a fully trustless on-chain marketplace, launched before OpenSea. Therefore, it needs a wrapper to make it compatible with the ERC-721 standard. This wrapper allows you to access many functions available for an EtherID in its unwrapped native form.
