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.
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 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.
What about credit-card payment?
