Public Resolver

The public resolver is a general-purpose ENS resolver that is suitable for most user needs. It permits the owner of a name to update their records, includes permissions, and stores its data on layer-1 ethereum.

Most ENS names registered through the ENS Manager will use the latest version of the public resolver by default. Names that resolve to a supported public resolver are editable from within the ENS Manager.

If you'd like to take a peek under the hood you can view the public resolver source code on GitHub.
