After years of leaving 39,712 Ether (ETH) locked at the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) auction, a whale using the domain “darkmarket.eth” has reclaimed the digital assets and transferred over $119 million in ETH to a new wallet.
Back in 2021, ENS founder and lead developer Nick Johnson tweeted a reminder for the owner of the darkmarket.eth domain to reclaim their ETH that was locked up in ENS deposits from its first two years. The ENS founder also provided a link that would allow those with ETH deposited in ENS auctions to reclaim their digital assets.
