Excuse me, I'm new to the world of cryptocurrencies. Could you please explain what Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is? I've heard it mentioned in a few conversations, but I'm not quite sure what its purpose is or how it works. Is it similar to a domain name system for websites, or is it something completely different? Also, what are the benefits of using ENS? Thank you for your time and assistance.

ENS allows users to map human-readable names, such as "alice.eth" or "bob.crypto", to Ethereum addresses, making it easier to identify and interact with blockchain-based assets.
