Renew a name

Renew a .eth name in the ENS App: one name, or several upgraded names at once. Names you haven't upgraded renew one at a time.

Renewing adds time to a name so it doesn't expire. You can renew one name, or several upgraded names at once. Anyone can renew any .eth name, and renewing never changes who owns it.

Start by connecting your wallet and turning on Smart Sessions (see Connect a wallet). Using ENS Explorer? See Renew a name in ENS Explorer.

Renew one name

  1. Open the name's profile.

  2. Start the renewal. On the profile, select Renew Name ». If it's someone else's name, select I understand when asked.

  3. Choose how long. Pick a card: Starter, Committed or Long-term identity. Or open Renew to date and pick a new expiry date.

  4. Pay. Select Pay with stablecoins. Approve the stablecoin payment in your wallet, then the renewal itself.

  5. Wait for it to finish. The app shows Renewal Complete! when it's done.

Renew several names at once

  1. Go to My Names on your dashboard.

  2. Tick each name you want to renew, or tick Select all.

  3. Select Renew ».

  4. Pick 1 year, 3 years or 6 years, or select Renew to date instead. Each name shows its new expiry date and price, with a Total at the bottom. Select Next.

  5. Choose a payment method under Select payment and select Confirm. Approve each prompt in your wallet. When Renewal Complete shows, select Done.

Only names upgraded to ENSv2 can be ticked. To renew names you haven't upgraded, renew each one on its own, or several at once in ENS Explorer.

Common questions

When can I renew, and what does it cost?

Any time, not just near expiry. Renewing for two years or more discounts the whole renewal — see Pricing, fees and multi-year discounts.

Why does my wallet ask more than once?

You pay in a stablecoin. One prompt gives ENS permission to take the amount from your stablecoin balance; the next does the renewal itself. Smart Sessions doesn't change this.

Can I renew a name I haven't upgraded to ENSv2?

Yes. Open the name and select Renew Name », as above; the renewal page shows an ENSv1 only badge. Bulk renew in the ENS App supports ENSv2 names. To renew several v1 & v2 names at once, use ENS Explorer.

Can I renew a name during its grace period?

Yes, and anyone can. See Expiry & grace period and Price Cooldown.
