ENSv2 Goes Live With Higher Fees for .eth Names of Five or More Characters

ENS Labs activated the ENSv2 mainnet upgrade on Ethereum Oct. 27, moving new .eth registrations and name resolution to the updated system as annual fees rose for names with five or more characters. Under the new schedule, registration for a .eth name with five or more characters costs $8 a year, up from $5. The yearly rate remains $640 for three-character names and $160 for four-character names. ENSv2 includes discounts for registrations and renewals covering multiple years. The expiration grace period contracts from 90 days to 28; a migrating name gets a 62-day adjustment to its expiration date.
