Exciting news from ENS Labs—In the near future, users will be able to register their .eth names on a Layer 2 (L2) network.
This update will significantly enhance accessibility by reducing transaction fees and increasing the throughput associated with the registration process.

ENS Labs is excited to announce our proposal to extend the ENS protocol to a Layer 2 network. This move isn't just about migrating parts of the protocol; we're re-envisioning the architecture from the ground up!
