Ethereum (ETH) has now truly gone mainstream as Google Search integrates the display of the ENS domain name balance.
With the latest development, one can search for ENS domain names in Google Search and view ETH balances, referencing Etherscan data.
➡️Y’all asked for @ensdomains integration and it’s live🫡 You can search for any .eth name and find the balance in Google Search!
Kudos to the search team for fully rolling this out! https://t.co/9R5QnsORC5

Web3 official at Google, Nalin, added that the Ethereum faucet for Sepolia and Holesky is also integrated with ENS domains, which allows users to type a .eth address and get drips.
The official X account of ENS.ETH writes: “Google has officially integrated ENS, allowing users to search for any .eth name and check its balances directly in Google Search. Some of you may have noticed this integration a few months ago, and we’re happy to report that the integration is now live for everyone!”
In May 2023, Google had for the first time integrated Ethereum address search that displayed ETH balances directly. But with this new integration, Google aims to reduce the complexity of checking wallet balances, making crypto information more accessible to the general public with one click.
The latest move heralds growing mainstream interest in Ethereum and ENS. The new functionality validates the use of blockchain naming systems and ENS domains in a manner similar to traditional web domains.
