We are pleased to announce a new tool that allows users to upload files to IPFS and save the IPFS hash to their ENS records all directly from the ENS Manager. The tool uses the IPFS pinning service Temporal Cloud.

Previously, users had to upload their files to IPFS in one place then update their ENS records in another. This greatly simplifies the process and makes it even easier for people to launch decentralized websites.

How to use it

0) What you’ll need before you start

Web3 browser: On desktop, this could be any major browser like Chrome with the MetaMask extension, or Brave with its built-in Crypto Wallet set up. On mobile, this could be the browsers in apps like Trust Wallet, Status, MetaMask Mobile, or others. Note: This new feature currently doesn’t work in the Coinbase Wallet browser for some reason, but that will hopefully be fixed soon.

Some ETH: You will need a small amount (worth a few cents of USD) of the cryptocurrency ETH in order to pay the Ethereum network transaction fee.

.ETH name: If you don’t already have a .ETH name, you can register one at app.ens.domains (here’s our step-by-step guide).

1) Select to create a new Content record

Go to the ENS Manager and search for your .ETH name. If you do not already have a Content record, click the “+” button on the right then select “Content” from the drop-down menu.

If you already have a Content record, skip this step.
