How Can I Check the Expiration Date of an ENS (.eth) Name?
Managing your Ethereum Name System (ENS) names effectively requires a good understanding of their expiration dates. This article explains where to find the expiration date for your ENS name and advises on how to handle potential discrepancies between different platforms.
Where to Find the Expiration Date of Your ENS (.eth) Name
You can view the exact expiration date of your ENS name directly within the ENS app. Navigate to the Profile and Ownership tabs, where this information is displayed. It is the most reliable source for checking the current status of your ENS name.
What to Do If Different Platforms Show Conflicting Expiration Dates
If you notice discrepancies between the expiration date displayed on the ENS app and a third-party marketplace (e.g., OpenSea), trust the information in the ENS app. Marketplace listings can sometimes display outdated or incorrect data if their records haven’t been refreshed. For example, if the ENS app indicates your name has expired, it is likely the authoritative source and the most up-to-date. Always prioritize data from the ENS app for accuracy.
Best Practices for Monitoring Your ENS Name
Regularly check the ENS app to stay informed about your name’s status.
Avoid relying on third-party platforms for critical information about your ENS name.
Set up calendar notifications, and ensure you renew your .eth name before it expires.
