The permanent Ethereum Name Service (ENS) registrar has launched!

This means you have one year — until May 4th, 2020 — to migrate your .eth name to the new registrar.

All names from the old registrar that are not migrated to the new registrar by May 4th, 2020 will be automatically released for anyone to register again.

To migrate, we recommend using our official ENS Manager app. When you migrate, you will get your previous registration deposit back and your first year of rent for free. After that first year, you will need to pay USD$5/year in ETH to keep the name. You can pay ahead if you’d like; so, e.g., for $50 you can register your name for 10 years.

Below are step-by-step instructions of how to use the Manager to migrate your .eth name:

Step 1: Open your Ethereum-enabled browser

On desktop, this could be Chrome with the extension MetaMask, or the browser Brave with MetaMask (which comes built-in) enabled.

On mobile, this could be Coinbase Wallet, Status, or another mobile Ethereum browser.

This guide will assume you are using Meta Mask in a desktop browser, but other Ethereum-enabled browsers should work very similarly.

You must be signed in to your Ethereum browser with the same wallet that owns the .eth names you want to migrate, and you must have at least a small amount of ETH in your wallet to pay transaction costs.
