The protocol

An identity apps can build on

Ethernames is a complete naming system in three minimal immutable contracts: registry, subname sales, and an onchain certificate renderer.

Ownerless by design

The contracts are immutable, with no admin keys and no upgrade path. They cannot be paused, censored, or repriced by anyone, ever.

Fees are burned

Fees are removed from supply forever, like the EIP-1559 base fee. Referrers can earn 20% and the rest is burned. Every registration and renewal makes ETH a little scarcer.

Records that resolve

Point your name at any address, set text records, a website, an avatar. Resolution falls back to the owner, so a fresh name just works.

Subnames: free or for sale

Mint unlimited subnames under your name for free, or open a storefront and sell them for ETH or any token, with optional token-gating.

A face for every name

Every name gets a unique branded card, derived from its hash. Hold a CryptoPunk, Milady, Bored Ape or Pudgy Penguin? Use it as your picture, and anyone can check you really own it.

IPFS websites

Set a contenthash and your site is live at name.ipfs.cc through the gateway we run. The pointer lives onchain and any gateway can serve it.

Pricing

Simple, fixed, forever

Prices are constants in an immutable contract. They cannot be raised, by anyone, ever.
Name lengthPrice / yearExample
1 character0.05 ETHx
2 characters0.05 ETHog
3 characters0.005 ETHeth
4 characters0.005 ETHgoat
5+ characters0.0005 ETHvitalik

Length is measured in bytes, so multi-byte characters like emoji count for more than one.
Fees are burned, locked in the contract forever, apart from the 20% referrer share.
Renewals cost the same as registration.

Your name, certified

A registry entry, not a picture

Every name renders as its own registry certificate, drawn entirely onchain by the NameCard contract, derived deterministically from the name's hash with a unique serial fingerprint. It is your identity card everywhere: nothing to store, nothing to pin, nothing to go offline.

Registration

Two transactions, no front-running

Registration uses a commit–reveal scheme so the name you want stays secret until it is already yours.
Fees are burned: like EIP-1559 with gas, each registration removes ETH from circulating supply forever, making Ethereum itself scarcer over time.

FIRST TRANSACTION

Commit

Send a sealed commitment, a hash that reveals nothing. Nobody watching the mempool can see which name you are registering, so nobody can front-run you.

THE WAIT

Sixty seconds

The contract enforces a one-minute quiet period. By the time your name becomes visible, your claim is already locked in. The commitment stays valid for 24 hours.

SECOND TRANSACTION

Reveal

Send the second transaction with the fee. The name mints to your wallet as an ERC-721, and records, subnames and renewals are yours from that block on.
