ENSv2 Pricing

These are the prices approved by the DAO in EP 6.43, computed with the same formula as the deployed price oracle. Prices are in USD, paid in USDC or DAI.

A longer term can cost less

The multi-year discount applies to the whole term once you reach 2, 3 or 6 years, so the total price drops at each of those points. For 5+ character names:

  • Anything from 1 year 274 days up to 2 years costs more than 2 years ($14.00).
  • Anything from 2 years 131 days up to 3 years costs more than 3 years ($16.50).
  • Anything from 4 years 332 days up to 6 years costs more than 6 years ($27.00).

Hover or use the arrow keys on the chart to read prices at any term. The smoothed alternative is not on the table at the DAO; it charges the same at 1, 2, 3 and 6 years and joins those points with straight lines, so a longer term never costs less.

How the price is calculated

The StandardRentPriceOracle multiplies a per-second base rate by the term, then applies one discount to the whole amount:

The drops are in the approved design: the EP 6.43 discussion and the Snapshot vote both show 5 years at $27.50 and 6 years at $27.00. An earlier version of the proposal priced each extra year incrementally from the name's current expiry, which had no drops; it was replaced as harder to explain.

Existing v1 names get a one-time free 62 days added to their v2 expiry, so a renewal on v2 runs from your v1 expiry plus 62 days. The DAO can change these prices by deploying a new oracle; this page will be updated if it does.
