ENS is staying on Ethereum mainnet
ENS Labs is scrapping its planned Namechain L2 and deploying ENSv2 entirely on Ethereum instead.
The team says Ethereum’s base layer has scaled faster than expected, with ENS registration costs down sharply over the past year. Given that, running a dedicated L2 no longer made sense compared to staying on L1.
The shift also comes after Vitalik Buterin questioned the rollup-centric roadmap, pointing out that L2 decentralization has lagged while L1 kept improving.
ENSv2 will still work across L2s, but the core protocol is going back to mainnet.$ENS
