It's been a record-breakingly good month for ENS domain name registrations as revenue tops $8 million, according to lead developer Nick Johnson.
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a domain name provider for the Ethereum blockchain. The service itself, which was launched in 2017, is governed by a DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization.
"May is now an all-time high for every single ENS metric we track—registrations, renewals, revenue (ETH & USD) and income (ETH & USD)," Johnson wrote in a tweet on Monday.
May is now an All Time High for every single ENS metric we track - registrations, renewals, revenue (ETH & USD) and income (ETH & USD).
And there's still a week of May left.

In a screenshot, Johnson shared that so far in May registrations, revenue, and income have all doubled. And renewals—users who register their domains for longer periods to save on gas fees—are up 55% from last month.
"And there's still a week of May left," he added.
He also included a graph showing that the combined traffic from new and returning users has surpassed 160,000. That's another all-time high.
ENS' recent success was helped by the fact that the first week of May included some of the highest volume days ever for ENS on NFT marketplace OpenSea. When an ENS domain is registered, it mints an NFT that can be sold and transferred like any other NFT.
On May 2, ENS domains accounted for 2,804.31 ETH (about $6 million) in volume on OpenSea and, as of Monday morning, had seen 16,367.3 ETH (about $34 million) in volume for the last 30 days.
Take note: That metric currently includes a couple of days in April since May isn't over yet.
That makes ENS domains the fourteenth most-traded collection on the marketplace in the same period that Yuga Labs launched its Otherside metaverse project and amid a big sell-off of Azuki NFTs.
ENS is also far and away the most popular domain name collection on OpenSea. Unstoppable Domains and Decentraland Names, the second- and third-highest ranking domain name collections by volume, saw less than $25,000 worth of combined volume over the last 30 days.
ENS has also been helped, in part, by the relatively low gas fees on the Ethereum network.
On Monday morning, it cost about 35 gwei ($1.09) for a low-priority transaction that would complete in roughly 10 minutes. To expedite a transaction, it would cost 36 gwei ($1.31) to shave seven minutes off the transaction that’s not gone unnoticed by the ENS community either.
Remember to take advantage of these low gas fees!
Now is a great time to delegate votes, update your ENS records or extend your registrations.

In fact, the ENS DAO Twitter account has been reminding members to take advantage of them, as it is now cheaper to buy, renew, and otherwise manage domain names.
Billionaire investor Tim Draper argued that businesses who have yet to purchase Bitcoin for their corporate treasuries are “being irresponsible.” Speaking at the Financial Times Digital Assets Summit, the prominent Bitcoin bull argued that “everybody ought to have some Bitcoin,” noting that “governments are recognizing that Bitcoin should be in their treasury.” Draper, who remains “optimistic” that Bitcoin will hit $250,000 by the end of 2025, added that he hopes to have a fund “in the next five...
Ethereum layer-2 startup Movement Labs has cut ties with co-founder Rushi Manche, capping a turbulent week of governance scandals, market maker fallout, and mounting community pressure. “Movement Labs has terminated Rushi Manche. Movement will continue under different leadership,” the team posted early Wednesday on X. Within minutes, the platform announced the launch of Move Industries, a new company rising from the wreckage of the project. The new team described the shift as a return to “crypt...
Japan’s Metaplanet Inc. added another 555 Bitcoin to its treasury late Tuesday, just as China confirmed it would resume trade talks with the U.S., while laying out firm conditions for engagement and warning against “coercive and blackmailing tactics.” The Tokyo-listed firm disclosed it spent $49.6 million (¥7.67 billion) on the latest acquisition, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 5,555 BTC, worth over $482 million at current prices. The purchase is part of Metaplanet’s broader strategy t...
