Registering your ENS name​

Registering an ENS name is a three step process:

Transaction details
  1. Request to Register
    A 0ETH commit transaction to prevent front-running
  2. Wait 60 Seconds
    A 60 second waiting time
  3. Register
    The actual Registration transaction

Step 1: Request to register​

Click Request to Register to start Step 1 of the registration process. A 0 ETH transaction is performed where your name is hashed with a secret key so that no one else can view the name you're trying to register.

info

While this transaction does not have a transaction value, it still incurs a gas fee.

caution

  • This step stores a secret key in your browser's local storage. To avoid having to repeat this step, make sure to not clear your cache or switch browsers.

  • You have 7 days to complete Step 3 before the Request to Register transaction expires. However, the ENS name is not reserved for you during this time.

Double-check that the registration length and fees are satisfactory, then press Begin to start the registration process.
