BlockBeats News, February 7th, according to official sources, ENSv2 will be directly deployed on the Ethereum mainnet and will stop the development of its proprietary Layer2 network Namechain. This decision stems from the Ethereum L1 scaling speed exceeding expectations. After the Fusaka upgrade in 2025 increased the Gas limit to 60 million, the ENS registration Gas cost has decreased by 99% in the past year, with the average registration fee now reduced to below $0.05.

nick.eth stated that despite halting Namechain development, the roadmap for ENSv2 remains unchanged. Users will still experience features such as one-click registration, support for cross-chain stablecoin payments, and a brand-new registration table design. The ENS team believes that staying on L1 can eliminate the additional trust assumptions brought by L2 and leverage Ethereum's strongest infrastructure. Currently, the new ENS App and ENS Explorer have started public Alpha testing.

Vitalik commented on this, stating, "This is a wise decision."
