Common questions
What's the difference between Extend Name » and Upgrade to Extend Name »?
Extend Name »is a one-step renewal: pressing it opens the renewal page and you pay to add time to a registration.Upgrade to Extend Name »looks like a combined action but it is only the upgrade leg. Pressing it triggers the ENSv1 → v2 upgrade transaction; once that confirms, you have to return to the dashboard, find the row (showingExtend Name »), and press it to renew as another transaction. The upgrade itself adds a free 62-day renewal. That moves the expiry date 62 days later and puts the name on the shorter 28-day v2 grace period.
How do I pick a custom expiry date?
Select Renew to date to open a calendar picker. The picker accepts any date from the current expiry year up to about 100 years out.
How does the price work?
Pricing is denominated in USD. Each tier has a per-year base price, and renewing for at least two years applies a multi-year discount on the entire renewal, so the 3-year total isn't 3× the 1-year total, but with an adjusted discount in effect.
Can I renew someone else's name as a gift?
Yes. Click Extend Name on a name and pay with your connected wallet. Renewals don't change ownership and any wallet can extend a name's registration.
Can I renew a name during its grace period?
Yes. Anyone can renew it, and renewing never changes who owns the name. The time you add goes onto the old expiry date, not onto the day you pay. So the days already spent in grace come out of the term you pay for. Example: a name 10 days into grace, renewed by 30 days, comes back with 20 days of registration left. Multi-year discounts are worked out from the expiry date. Renew before grace ends: once it runs out, anyone can register the name. A v1 name in grace can't be upgraded to ENSv2 — renew it first, then upgrade.
What about credit-card payment?
