Ethereum Push Notification System (EPNS)

- Idea behind EPNS is to expand on and integrate existing ways by which a user can be reached out to by different dApp owners, smart contracts, etc.

- It can be used to relay important loan liquidation, funds running out, debt positions notifies to a specific user in #DeFi

- It can be used to inform users of important upcoming events, notifications, etc of specific dApps (via App Owners)

- It can be further enhanced to convey push notifications that act as security mechanisms (for example: a Trusted App Owner group is subscribed by all exchanges, the addresses relayed by this app owner in specific format can automatically blacklist those addresses out)

- It can potentially be used by Ethereum itself for major announcements like launching of Ethereum 2.0, notifications to miners for any upcoming fork, etc

- It can potentially replace the way new projects gather user's sensitive information. For Example, when an ICO is conducted or a new cryptocurrency is launched, instead of these projects relying on emails to store and communicate about their updates, they can instead offer EPNS service which is anonymized and doesn't have a central point of failure.
