Important: Check the URL before you connect a wallet or sign a message. Lookalike domains and fake token-claim prompts are the most common ENS scam. Main sites the core ENS team runs are listed on this page.

Sepolia testnet and ENSv2
ENSv2 runs on Sepolia testnet, so everything in this section is for testing. Names registered on Sepolia are not real names on Ethereum Mainnet, and testnet ETH has no value.

ENS DAO
ENS is governed by the ENS DAO. Voting and delegation use the $ENS governance token, an ERC-20 that is separate from .eth names.

Common questions
Where do I report a security issue?
ENS runs a public bug bounty. Start at docs.ens.domains/bugs, which sets out the bounty tiers and links to the reporting programme. For the full process, see Report a security vulnerability to ENS.
A site isn't on this list. Is it a scam?
Not necessarily. The community builds ENS tools too, and some are well known. This page lists what the core ENS team runs, so anything else is third-party: check who made it, and be careful about connecting a wallet or signing anything you don't understand.
Do my .eth names give me voting power?
No. Governance runs on the $ENS token, an ERC-20 that is separate from .eth names. Holding names does not give you voting power, and holding $ENS does not give you a name. If you hold $ENS and would rather not vote yourself, you can delegate to someone active in governance. See Delegate your $ENS voting power.
Which app should I use?
For a real name, use app.ens.domains on Ethereum Mainnet. app.ens.dev and explorer.ens.dev are the ENSv2 apps and run on Sepolia testnet, so use them to try ENSv2 rather than to manage a name you rely on.
