ENS halts L2 Namechain development, v2 will be deployed directly on Ethereum mainnet
Foresight News reported that ENS founder nick.eth announced that ENSv2 will be deployed directly on the Ethereum mainnet, and the development of its proprietary Layer2 network Namechain will be discontinued. This decision stems from the faster-than-expected scaling of Ethereum L1. After the Fusaka upgrade in 2025 increases the Gas limit to 60 million, the Gas cost for ENS registration has dropped by 99% over the past year, with the average registration fee now below $0.05. Nick.eth stated that although Namechain development will stop, the ENSv2 roadmap remains unchanged, and users will still experience features such as one-step registration, support for cross-chain stablecoin payments, and a brand-new registry design. The ENS team believes that staying on L1 eliminates the additional trust assumptions brought by L2 and leverages Ethereum's strongest infrastructure security. Currently, the brand-new ENS App and ENS Explorer have launched public Alpha testing.
