Common questions
Why is the BUY NAME button greyed out?
'BUY NAME' is greyed until you tap and select the payment option. Alongside payment options, your stablecoin balances (USDC, DAI) will be shown.
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).
So mywallet.eth (8 chars) is $8/yr for a one-year registration, but four.eth (4 chars) is $160/yr.
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: What's changing with ENSv2 pricing, discounts, and grace period?
