## Ethereum Name Service (ENS)

{: .warning}
This ENS implementation currently only works for sending to Ethereum addresses. If you query an existing record for a different asset, then it will return an [undecoded string](https://github.com/ensdomains/address-encoder). You can decode this string manually (not recommended). We will add support for decoding with additional assets in a future release.

Cake Wallet has full support for sending to addresses associated with ENS names that end in `.eth`. Simply type the domain in the `Send` screen.

If (and only if) you type in a string that ends in `.eth` (eg: `cakewallet.eth`), then your wallet will communicate directly with your specified Ethereum node or the default Ethereum node (if no custom node is specified).

If you would like to use ENS with a different domain, such as `.com`, `.xyz`, or any other "standard" domain, then please [configure OpenAlias](/docs/advanced-features/special-address-services/#openalias) for that domain instead.
