Registering your ENS name

Registering an ENS name is a three step process

Request to Register _A 0ETH commit transaction to prevent front-running_
Wait 60 Seconds _A 60 second waiting time_
Register _The actual Registration transaction_

Step 1: Request to register

While this transaction does not have a transaction value, it still incurs a gas fee.

Click Request to Register to start Step 1 of the registration process. A 0 ETH transaction is performed where your name is hashed with a secret key so that no one else can view the name you're trying to register.

Keep in mind

This step stores a secret key in your browser's local storage. To avoid having to repeat this step, make sure to not clear your cache or switch browsers.
You have 1 day to complete Step 3 before the Request to Register transaction expires. However, the ENS name is not reserved for you during this time.

Double-check that the registration length and fees are satisfactory, then press Begin to start the registration process
