base.eth subnames from Base
Base offers personalised ENS subnames under the base.eth subname. These subnames allow you to have readable, memorable identifiers tied to your wallet address.
How to Register your base.eth Subname
Visit base.org/names to register your subname. Follow their provided registration process.
Managing your base.eth Subname
Subnames under base.eth are managed exclusively via the project's own frontend and registration flow. Because of this custom setup:
ENS App cannot be used to manage these names directly.
Custom configurations and records are handled exclusively via the base.org/names platform.

Setting your Subname as your Primary ENS Name
Although managed externally, your base.eth subname can be set as your primary ENS name via the ENS App:
Connect your wallet to the ENS App.
Ensure you're on Mainnet Ethereum.
Search your subname and select it.
Under the Profile tab, click Select As Primary Name.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Refer to the ENS guide on How to Set Primary Name.
base.eth Subname Features and Limitations
base.eth subnames offer a simple way to use ENS, but with a few key limitations:
You cannot create subnames under your base.eth subname
Limited record setup. Not all the records and features are available as they are with owning your own .eth ENS names.
Register your own .eth name
Having a base.eth subname doesn't prevent you from registering your own standalone .eth domain. Once you have your .eth name, you can also create and manage your own custom subnames.
