Notifications and expiry alerts

Get a reminder before your names expire, by email, Telegram or browser.

The ENS App can remind you before your names expire, and tell you about new releases. You choose where the alerts reach you: email, Telegram or your browser.


What you can get

Alert

When

Name Expiry (names you own)

30, 7 and 1 day before a .eth name expires, and 7 and 1 day before its grace period ends

Favourites (names you saved)

7 and 1 day before a .eth name expires, and 7 and 1 day before its grace period ends

ENS Labs Updates

New ENS releases and features

All three always show inside the ENS App, under the bell, with Smart Sessions on. Email, Telegram and browser alerts send only the ones you choose.

Turn them on

  1. Sign in with your wallet.
    Select Sign in with Wallet on the Verify your wallet prompt, or select your address at the top right and pick Verify wallet ownership. This is a free signature: no gas, the network fee.
    ​

  2. Add a way to reach you.
    Select the bell at the top of the page, then the cog. Under Contact methods, verify your email (select SEND VERIFICATION, then open the link in the email), or select Add more contact methods for Telegram or Browser. For browser alerts, select ENABLE, allow your browser's prompt, then switch the toggle on.
    ​

  3. Choose your alerts.
    Under Preferences, switch on Name Expiry, Favourites or ENS Labs Updates, then select SAVE PREFERENCES. It saves once at least one contact method is verified.

Wondering if an alert is real?

Scammers copy the look of ENS messages, send addresses and accounts. A real ENS App alert:

  • comes by email from noreply@notifications.ens.domains, or on Telegram from the ENS Earl bot (@ens_notifications_bot). Beware scammers using similar looking sender details.

  • never asks for your seed phrase or private key

  • by email: never contains a link: it tells you to search for the name yourself. If an email has a link in it, it isn't from ENS.

Never sign or pay through a link in a message. Open app.ens.domains yourself and check the name there. See Avoid common ENS scams.


Not getting alerts? See Notifications: common questions. Alerts are a reminder, not a guarantee: to keep an eye on many names, see Keep track of your names' expiry dates.
