Product updates, deep-dives on the ENS protocol, and guides for finding, trading, and managing .eth domain names. Written by the ENS.Tools team.
One landmark name is listed 200 ETH below its previous sale. Several others appear to have fallen more than 99%. A closer look at what last-sale data can — and cannot — tell us.
Read postConfirm one email once, then receive wallet-scoped action-inbox digests for expiry, watchlist, marketplace, agent, swap, and message events.
The busiest page on ENS.Tools turns the .eth expiry lifecycle into a live, filterable shortlist. Here is why collectors keep coming back and how the two-transaction catch works.
How bounded Base Account permissions, verified USDC receipts, cancellation, and fail-closed entitlement make agent subscriptions safer.
Turn crypto narratives, ENS lifecycle data, marketplace liquidity, signed evidence, and narrowly scoped wallet permissions into a paper trader first—and a safer execution agent later.
A practical walkthrough of capability checks, explainable routing, scoped policies, signed jobs, and safe fleet operations—with a working ENS agent example.
Wallet-backed identity, live evidence, deterministic routing, scoped execution, crypto commerce, fleet SRE, developer capacity, and an external signed canary—now live as one ENS agent platform.
Grails is shutting down. Rather than build a new marketplace contract, we indexed ENS activity natively on Seaport and plugged into the OpenSea Stream API, so the full ENS order book now lives in one place — with no gap in coverage.
Market-wide sale history on ENS.Tools is now reconstructed from chain data rather than a marketplace API. We scan ENS transfers against Seaport fulfilments directly on-chain — wrapped names included — and dedupe every sale by transaction and token.
A big batch of marketplace updates just shipped — generative art for every ENS name, listing your whole portfolio in a single signature, one‑transaction cart sweeps, collection offers, and a native order book that keeps working on its own.
A wallet-wide view of every acceptable bid across the names you own, one-click accept for single-name and collection offers, and a true on-chain cancel for bids you have made yourself.
Your ENS.Tools watchlist now syncs to your wallet, so it follows you across browsers and devices instead of living in one browser. Plus opt-in email alerts for expiries and grace periods.
Check hundreds of names for listings at once, see who is moving the most volume, and watch listings, sales and volume trend over time — all native to the ENS.Tools order book.
Understand ENS Collections: the 999 Club, 10k Club, three-letter names, palindromes and dictionary words. What each category is and how to browse them.
ENSv2 Public Beta is live on Sepolia with a hierarchical registry, role-based permissions, a 28-day grace period, multi-year discounts, stablecoin payments, and the first public ENSv1 upgrade flow.
A snapshot of the ENS market heading into July: ~20,700 names listed across every venue, more than 360,000 lifetime sales, and a renewal rate that says more about ENS than any single big sale. Here is what we read into the data.
You bought the name, pointed it at your wallet, and apps still show 0x1234… Setting an address is only half of it. Here is what a primary name actually is, why yours might not be working, and how to set it correctly.
Understand ENS market activity using the live Activity feed on ens.tools: read listings, sales and offers to see what's happening across the namespace.
Manage a portfolio of ENS names efficiently: bulk renew registrations, batch-edit records, set your primary name, and track upcoming expiries on ens.tools.
A clear guide to ENS names: what .eth names are, how they work on Ethereum, and why they matter for wallets, on-chain identity and the decentralised web.
Learn how to find the perfect .eth name using AI Search on ens.tools. Describe what you want in plain English and search a 200,000+ name curated catalogue.
Three-letter .eth names occupy the most-discussed niche in the ENS market. Floor prices, sale distribution, holding patterns, and the math on whether a 3-letter is actually a good buy at today's prices.
Most premium ENS names that hit grace period in any given month never get renewed. The reasons are structural, the patterns are predictable, and the secondary market depends on this exact failure mode.
Our MCP server exposes a generated catalogue of ENS and agent tools over the Model Context Protocol — public, non-custodial, and ready for agent workflows. Five concrete things any AI agent can do with it now.
An ENS name resolving to a wallet is the minimum. A fully filled profile — avatar, bio, verified socials, multi-chain addresses, content hash — is what turns a name into a credible identity. Here is the checklist that gets you to 100%.
Four marketplaces, four fee structures, four very different all-in costs for the same trade. A side-by-side breakdown of what each platform charges, where the fees go, and what protocol the trade settles on.
A month of ENS marketplace data across all venues. What sold and what didn't, where the volume went, and what the data says about which categories are heating up vs cooling off.
Per-name renewal is the default flow most ENS owners use — and it costs more in gas than it should. Here is the math, the contract, and the tool that bundles 10, 50, or 200 renewals into a single signing event.
Beyond "exact name" search, ENS has whole sub-cultures of pattern-based collecting. Here are 10 patterns worth filtering for, with the queries to find them and what makes each collectible.
Three paths to owning a .eth name: register a fresh one, catch one in the expiry auction, or buy on the marketplace. What each costs, when each makes sense, and how to avoid overpaying.
Worked examples and query patterns for the natural-language ENS search. Describe what you want — the index returns the closest matches across millions of names, including ones you would never have guessed.
A look inside the indexer, label-healer, and name-security services we lean on — and why a consumer-facing ENS surface is meaningfully better when the infra underneath is open.
A walkthrough of the three-phase ENS expiry lifecycle — grace period, temp premium, and reopening — plus the cheapest ways to catch a name before someone else does.
A full MCP server for AI agents, ENSIP-25 agent verification, profile completeness scoring, multi-chain addresses, and the groundwork we have laid for ENS v2.
Find a name by describing what you want, not by guessing strings. AI Search runs semantic similarity across millions of registered .eth names so the right ones surface from a plain English prompt.
Shareable public profile pages at /profile/<name> that consolidate everything an ENS name represents — avatar, social links, portfolio, achievements, and on-chain footprint.
Edit records across dozens of ENS names in a single multicall transaction — no per-domain fee. Plus a BulkWrap contract that wraps multiple names at once.
In-app profile editing, avatar integration, manager rights recovery, and portfolio exploration — no more bouncing between the ENS app, OpenSea, and Etherscan.
A unified view of the three-phase ENS expiry lifecycle — grace period, temporary premium, and reopening — with live pricing, decay progress, and registration in two clicks.
