Common questions
Why is the Pay with stablecoins button greyed out?
Pay with stablecoins is greyed out until you select a payment option. Next to the payment options, the app shows your stablecoin balance (USDC).
Why do some .eth names cost more than others?
ENS prices .eth names by character count. The cheapest tier is 5 or more characters; 4-character names and 3-character names are tagged "premium" and cost more. Each tier has a per-year base price; multi-year registrations get a discount on top (see the next question).
5+ characters: $8/year.
4 characters: $160/year (badge:
4 character premium name).3 characters: $640/year (badge:
3 character premium name).
How does the multi-year discount work?
The length of time you're adding to a name will determine your discount tier. That discount rate is then applied to the entire registration being added. The same curve applies to all tiers (5+ char, 4-char, and 3-char) and to renewals as well as first-time registrations.
1 year: full base price (no discount).
2 years: 12.5% off the whole registration.
3–5 years: about 31% off the whole registration.
At least 6 years: about 44% off the whole registration.
Example:
A 5+ character name registered for 6 years pays $4.50/yr × 6 = $27.00 total. The same name registered for one year pays $8. For the full table and worked examples for 4-char and 3-char names, see: Multi-year discounts
What about a credit card?
Card payment is not available. You pay with USDC from your connected wallet.
