ENS is the canonical identity and reward routing layer for BITY Nodes.

ENS names do not bind nodes, verify eligibility, or enforce protocol rules. All qualification logic, accounting, and verification occurs internally within the BITY Nodes protocol.

ENS defines where rewards are delivered once eligibility has already been proven. Resolution occurs at claim time only.

• ZK proofs determine if rewards can be claimed
• ENS resolution determines where rewards are sent
• ENS records are fully user-controlled
• ENS gas is paid by the user, not the protocol
