ENS is forward compatible with DNS. What this means is that the current DNS model can be extended forward into the blockchain by bridging DNS domains into the ENS protocol. Importing a DNS domain to be used within the blockchain via the ENS protocol does not transfer the registration or ownership of the domain.

DNS translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing people to use familiar and easily remembered domain names instead of difficult to recall IP addresses. For example, instead of typing 142.250.64.142 into a web browser, one can simply type in google.com, and DNS will direct the user to the same location as the IP address.
