💡 How XNS works
XNS is simply a translator between humans and addresses.
Without XNS:
Users must copy/paste a raw address like: 0xDB2390...335f9
With XNS:
Users simply type a human-readable name like bob.og in the wallet or frontend application.
The application queries the XNS contract on @ethereum to look up the address associated with the name.
The transaction sent to the smart contract is exactly the same:
transfer(0xDB2390...335f9, 100)
💫 Key features of XNS names
> Permanent
Pay once, own forever. No expiry. No renewals. No annual subscription fees. Just like your bank account number.
> Non-transferable
Names cannot be traded or reassigned, eliminating speculation and squatting. Again, just like your bank account number.
> Multi-chain
Because the user’s address is the same across chains, XNS names work across all EVM chains.
🛡 Why you should get an XNS name
> Safer transactions
Eliminates the need to copy-paste long 0x addresses, helping protect against address poisoning and clipboard malware attacks.
> Simpler UX
Sharing a human-readable name like bob.og is much easier than copy-pasting long 0x addresses.
> ETH-aligned
80% of registration fees paid in ETH are burned, directly accruing value to ETH holders.
No token. No governance theatre.

If you’re using ENS, take a step back and ask yourself:
Do you really want to pay recurring renewal fees for a payment identifier?
Do you really own your ENS name if it can be taken away the moment you stop paying?
Or would you rather have a permanent, human-readable name for your 0x address that you truly own forever?
If it’s the latter, explore:

“.eth” is not true ownership.
It’s a recurring liability dressed up as an asset.
Any time ENS uses the word “ownership,” remember:
You don’t own it.
You rent it.
And if you stop paying, it’s gone.
With XNS, you will never find yourself in situation where you lose your name because you can’t afford to pay the renewal tax.
XNS names are permanent.
Pay once.
Own forever.
Real ownership.
What namespaces should we add next?
Drop your suggestions below. If we like your idea, we’ll add it to XNS and make you the namespace owner.
As the owner, you’ll earn 10% of all registration fees generated by that namespace in perpetuity.
Make sure it doesn't already exist.

XNS is multichain.
Register once on Ethereum.
Use it on Base.
Works seamlessly on Arbitrum.
One name.
One identity.
Every chain.
