Transfer an ENS name (V3)

info

1. Owner: The owner of the ENS name, the wallet the ENS name NFT resides in.
2. Manager: The manager of records, the wallet allowed to make changes to its records (but not transfer the name)
3. ETH Address: The wallet address the ENS name points to, where funds sent to it will arrive.

When transferring an ENS name, only the Owner record is automatically updated to reflect the new owner wallet. Depending on your specific use-case it's therefore a good idea to take a moment and think about what additional records you want to transfer.

Completely transfer a name

If you want to completely transfer a name to a wallet you'll need to set three records to the new wallet in a specific order because only the wallet set as Manager is allowed to change the ETH Address.

For example

• If you were to change Manager first, you wouldn't be able to set the ETH Address without switching to the new wallet.

In order to set everything to the new wallet easily from the wallet that currently owns the ENS name, you'd follow this specific order:

Order

1. ETH Address: The wallet address the ENS name points to, where funds sent to it will arrive.
2. Manager: The manager of records, the wallet allowed to make changes to its records (but not transfer the name)
3. Owner: The owner of the ENS name, the wallet the ENS name NFT resides in.

Go to the Manager App

Go to the ENS Manager App with the wallet set as Owner & Manager for the ENS name you want to manage and click Names to bring up a list of your ENS names or search for an ENS name you own directly from the main page.

Gift a Name with ENSFairy

If you would like to register a name on behalf of another wallet, ENSFairy is a great way to do that. This is because you can register a name with one wallet, but set up the ownership and address records to point to a different wallet.
