Using 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.

No Uptime / Performance Guarantees

These hosted instances are provided free of charge to the ENS community, and while we strive for strong uptime and performance, neither of these can be guaranteed. By using these instances you accept the possibility of downtime, degraded performance, or other unforseen events. If you’d like to run ENSNode in production, consider hosting your own ENSNode instance.

Available ENSNode Instances

There are two ENSNode deployments which are serving indexed ENS data. Both are separate deployment which may run on different versions and configurations. Main difference from client perspective is list of plugins which each instance handlers. Here is the table listing differences between those two.

	ENSNode ‘Alpha’	ENSNode ‘Subgraph’
URL	alpha.ensnode.io	subgraph.ensnode.io
Active Plugins	eth, base.eth, linea.eth	eth
Purpose	Superset of ENS Subgraph names	1:1 Subgraph-Compatible Data

Endpoints
