Description: I’d like to propose adding native support for XNS, an Ethereum-native name registry designed specifically for safe value routing and payments.
XNS allows users to assign permanent, human-readable names to Ethereum addresses (e.g. alice.xns) and use those names as payment identifiers instead of raw hex addresses.
Purpose: Today, most user-facing risks in Ethereum payments stem from address handling:
-
copy-paste errors
-
address poisoning / clipboard hijacking
-
silent address substitution
-
general UX friction around long hex strings
Name-based resolution significantly reduces these risks.
ENS partially addresses this, but its expiration-based, transferable domain model introduces additional failure modes (expired names, reassignment, silent fund loss). XNS was designed from first principles to avoid these issues.
