Hosted ENSNode Instances

Hosted Instances

NameHash Labs provides freely available hosted instances for ENS developers looking to get started quickly.

These instances are provided free of charge with no API key required, have no rate limiting, and are maintained and monitored by the NameHash Labs team.

Version compatibility with hosted instances

Our hosted ENSNode instances currently run ENSNode v1.13. If you are querying them from your own app, you must use enssdk@1.13.1 (and enskit@1.13.1 when using React). The latest published versions (1.14.0+) contain breaking changes in the Omnigraph API data model not yet deployed to our hosted infrastructure. Use these exact install commands:

npm install enssdk@1.13.1
# or, for React apps:
npm install enskit@1.13.1 enssdk@1.13.1

This notice will be removed once the hosted instances are upgraded.

Available instance configurations

Each ENSNode hosted instance is configured for a specific ENS namespace and activated ENSNode plugins. The ENS namespace identifies which ENS protocol deployment will be indexed by ENSNode (ex: mainnet or sepolia). The activated plugins determine the specific indexed data model ENSIndexer will produce in ENSDb and therefore which APIs ENSApi will make available to query.

Each ENS namespace is associated with a particular ENS Root Registry deployment, which may or may not have completed the transition from ENSv1 to ENSv2. Currently, ENSNode supports the following ENS namespaces:

• mainnet (ENSv1)
• sepolia (ENSv1)
• sepolia-v2 (ENSv1+ENSv2 — An independent deployment of ENS to Sepolia that is already upgraded to ENSv2)
• ens-test-env (ENSv1+ENSv2 — A deployment of ENSv2 to a local Anvil chain for development and testing. For details see https://github.com/ensdomains/ens-test-env and https://github.com/ensdomains/contracts-v2)

More details about ENS namespaces can be found inside ENSNode’s datasources package.

ENSv2 Instances

These instances are associated with an ENS namespace that has upgraded to ENSv2 and demonstrate the latest ENSv2 support in ENSNode.

ENSNode ‘v2 Sepolia’

v2 Sepolia

The sepolia-v2 namespace is undergoing active development by the ENS Labs team who is continuing to release updated ENSv2 contracts. It should be considered experimental.

Hosted at	https://api.v2-sepolia.ensnode.io Connect with ENSAdmin
ENS Namespace	sepolia-v2
Active Plugins	unigraph, protocol-acceleration
Purpose	Demonstration of ENSNode's support for an ENS namespace that has already transitioned to ENSv2.

ENSv1 Instances

These instances are associated with an ENS namespace that has NOT upgraded to ENSv2 yet and are still operating under ENSv1. These demonstrate how the ENS Omnigraph API, enssdk, enskit, and the full stack of ENSNode services provide support to developers to become ENSv2 ready even before ENSv2 launches.

Alpha-style Deployments

These ENSNode instances focus on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with ENSNode.

ENSNode ‘Alpha’

Hosted at	https://api.alpha.ensnode.io Connect with ENSAdmin
ENS Namespace	mainnet
Active Plugins	subgraph, basenames, lineanames, threedns, unigraph, protocol-acceleration, registrars, tokenscope
Purpose	Demonstration of ENSNode's multichain ENS indexing capability for an ENS namespace (mainnet) that is still operating ENSv1. Experience how the ENS Omnigraph API, enssdk, enskit, and the full stack of ENSNode services provide support to developers to become ENSv2 ready even before ENSv2 launches. Provides a superset of the data indexed by the ENS Subgraph. Offers a preview of ENS Protocol Acceleration.

ENSNode ‘Alpha-Sepolia’

Hosted at	https://api.alpha-sepolia.ensnode.io Connect with ENSAdmin
ENS Namespace	sepolia
Active Plugins	subgraph, basenames, lineanames, registrars, unigraph, protocol-acceleration
Purpose	Demonstration of ENSNode's multichain ENS indexing capability for an ENS namespace (sepolia) that is still operating ENSv1. Experience how the ENS Omnigraph API, enssdk, enskit, and the full stack of ENSNode services provide support to developers to become ENSv2 ready even before ENSv2 launches. Provides a superset of the data indexed by the ENS Subgraph. Offers a preview of ENS Protocol Acceleration.

Subgraph-style Deployments

These ENSNode instances focus on maximizing backwards compatibility with the ENS Subgraph.

ENSNode ‘Mainnet’

Hosted at	https://api.mainnet.ensnode.io Connect with ENSAdmin
ENS Namespace	mainnet
Active Plugins	subgraph
Purpose	Demonstration of ENSNode's backwards compatibility with the ENS Subgraph. Provides 1:1 Subgraph compatible data on mainnet.

ENSNode ‘Sepolia’

Hosted at	https://api.sepolia.ensnode.io Connect with ENSAdmin
ENS Namespace	sepolia
Active Plugins	subgraph
Purpose	Demonstration of ENSNode's backwards compatibility with the ENS Subgraph. Provides 1:1 Subgraph compatible data on Sepolia.
