Is there scope within ENS’s development to enable shielding of the hex address behind a .eth name — in a way that preserves privacy whilst maintaining accountability?

It’s incredibly easy to dox the wallet linked to an ENS, making that name — and any connected activity — permanently public.

Implementing a feature to shield the hex address behind a .eth name while preserving privacy is a complex issue. It requires balancing anonymity and accountability. Developers need to carefully consider the implications of such a change to ensure the security and integrity of the ENS system.
