ENS Explorer shows what ENS holds for any name, wallet or contract. Search for one to open its page; the sidebar lists that page's sections. Open or close it with Toggle Sidebar. Anyone can read any page without a wallet. Connect one to see the edit buttons on names you own.
Search ENS Explorer
Type into the search box on the home page. Each suggestion says which page it opens:
 |
You search | The suggestion reads | It opens |
A name, like | View ENS name details | The name page |
A wallet's full address ( | View address details | The address page |
A contract's full address ( | View resolver details | The resolver page |
You can also go straight to /addr/ followed by a wallet address.
The name page
The page for one name. The heading is the name, and the top shows its expiry, owner, resolver and how many records are set. ENSv2 names also get a Renew button. The sidebar sections:
Address Resolution: the address the name points to on each network (Default, Mainnet and each supported L2). Reverse match shows whether that address points back at the name.
Records: addresses, text records and content hash. See Edit your name's records (ENS Explorer).
Resolver: a contract on the Ethereum network that answers questions about the name.
Ownership: owner, parent, and registration and expiry dates.
Roles (ENSv2 names): who can manage the name. See Grant registry 'roles' to manage your name.
Fuses (wrapped ENSv1 names): Name Wrapper permission locks, and whether each is burnt (switched off for good). See what each fuse does.
Subnames: names under this one, like
pay.yourname.eth. An ENSv2 name needs a subregistry first; use Deploy subregistry. A name still on ENSv1 needs no subregistry.Registry: the registry contracts behind the name.
Token info: the name as an NFT, with its token ID and hash.
History: the name's onchain events. Some older events can be missing.

The address page
The page for one wallet. The heading is the address, and the top shows its primary name, if set. The sidebar sections:
Names: ENS names this address owns, manages or holds a role on, with their expiry and roles. Select Go to full list for all of them, with filters for Expiry, Status and Length. An ENSv1 subname shows its
.ethname's expiry, marked (Expires with parent); to list only those, choose Expires with parent under Status. Names that only point to this address are under Address Resolution.Address Resolution: the names that point to this address.
Reverse Resolution: the name this address points back to, as a Default row for every EVM chain and a row per network that overrides it. Forward match shows whether that name points back to this address. To set a primary name, use the name's Address Resolution page: see Set your primary name in ENS Explorer.
History: the address's ENS activity. Below it, Names assigned to this address lists activity on names someone else pointed at this address; it is not the address's own history.
 |
The resolver page
The page for one resolver contract. The heading reads Resolver contract, and the top shows its type, docs, factory and how many names use it. The sidebar sections:
Nodes: the names that use this resolver.
Links: names linked to another name's records, so both serve the same records.
Roles: who can change records through this resolver, and which records each may set.
History: the contract's events.

Read History
In ENS Explorer, History shows one transaction per row. Expand a row, or select More, to see its events. Each event has a Decoded view (a table of values) and an Encoded view (the raw data, for developers). Filter by Date or Event, and select a transaction hash to open it on Etherscan.
What the colours mean
ENS Explorer colours each value by type: blue is an ENS name, green a wallet address, pink a smart contract, orange a transaction hash, and grey a link such as Docs or Source. Wallet and contract addresses both start 0x, so colour is the quickest way to tell them apart. In a Roles table, a wallet that has a primary name shows as that name, with its avatar; you see its 0x address only when it has none.

Common questions
Why is a name I own not listed under Names?
Two reasons:
Its ownership token is in another wallet.
Its grace period and Price Cooldown have both ended. A name still in its grace period or Price Cooldown stays listed, marked Former owner.
To check, search for the name and open Ownership to see who owns it.
Why is a transaction missing from History?
An address page's History may not show every event touching the address. Check History on the name involved instead.
Who made a change to a name?
In History, select the transaction hash to open it on Etherscan. Etherscan's From field shows the wallet that sent it.
Why does Names list a name I don't own?
The Roles column says how this address is linked to each name: Owner, Manager, Role holder (it holds a role on the name but does not own it) or Former owner (it owned the name, which is in its grace period or Price Cooldown). To see who owns a name, open it and check Ownership.
