Linagee Name Registrar is one of NFT's historic projects. Many obsolete collections have gained new popularity over time. CryptoKitties, CryptoPunks are names that are on everyone's lips now, but they were among the first.

Linagee Name Registrar is a domain name registrar for the Ethereum blockchain. Its importance lies in creating abbreviated names that will be directly linked to the Ethereum wallet.
Interestingly, the project is only one week older than the Ethereum blockchain itself, which was launched on July 30, 2015. The project was rediscovered by Mason Keresti. He also created a new app for mining, linked to the original smart contract, to integrate the project back into the ecosystem. After the launch, a new Linagee OpenSea collection quickly emerged and spread - most NFT holders wanted to create and register their unique names sooner.
Linagee Name Registrar is similar to the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), except for a few differences:
Linagee allows users to register their names indefinitely (in ENS you had to pay for a certain period).
Linagee is now functioning only as domain for Ethereum wallets (while ENS could be used to create names for other wallets, NFT, and even websites)
Linagee also has a “name reservation” feature. Users can set a name for their wallet using the “setAddress” function. Accordingly, if someone has purchased your name, you can no longer use it, but you can get it through OpenSea.
Linagee Name Registrar also has a new site where you can transfer a domain name, which extends the capabilities of a regular registrar.
The Linagee Name Registrar project, a contemporary of the Ethereum blockchain itself, is coming back to life. We will soon find out if it will also be relevant in the new NFT market.
