Introducing Subpages: Customizable websites with built-in Subname minting

Launch your ENS Subname minting page in minutes with Subpages by Namespace. Customize your branding, engage your community, and streamline subname distribution with our turnkey solution.

ENS is a decentralized, open, and permissionless naming protocol built on Ethereum. It is set to transition to its own Layer 2 chain, called Namechain, which opens up exciting new opportunities for developers, builders, and community leaders.

Scaling ENS to a billion users and beyond is the vision that’s been driving Namespace to build on ENS for years. To bring this vision to life, our goal is to build tools and apps that allow anyone to easily enable Subname Registrations, everywhere! 

With that goal in mind, and through requests by many we’re beyond excited to announce Subpages where any organization can launch their custom-branded Subname Minting page and give collective identity to their community under one namespace.

Subpage manifest

Subpage is a customizable subname minting template that enables companies, communities, DAOs, and others to issue subnames under the ENS domain they own. For example, if an organization owns awesome.eth, using a Subpage template, they can quickly spin up a custom website to allow members to mint personalized subnames like alice.awesome.eth

  • Quick Setup: A ready-to-use, white-label template that allows organizations to launch a fully functional minting Subpage in minutes.
  • Customizable Design: Non-technical users can easily adjust the look and feel of the website to match their branding.
  • Wallet Integration: Built-in wallet connection support through RainbowKit ensures a seamless and secure user experience.
  • Responsive Design: The tool is designed to work flawlessly across all devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Whether you’re looking to engage your community, monetize your ENS, or streamline the distribution of subnames - Namespace Subpage is a turnkey solution that helps you engage, activate and award your community. 

Stayson.eth Subpage 

Since we’re deeply aligned with ENS—the most Ethereum-native dApp—we’re committed to helping it grow by building apps, dev tools, and forging key partnerships and integrations. As true believers in Ethereum, we wanted to show our support in a way that’s both creative and meaningful, and that’s how stayson.eth came to life. 

As we get ready to launch a simple, fast, and customizable tool for spinning up ENS Subname minting websites, we wanted to put it to the test ourselves. So, we built a custom Subpage where anyone can mint a subname under stayson.eth—and we’d love for you to try it out!Mint your own subname now at: stayson.namespace.ninjaMore examples of communities that launched using Subpages:

How to launch your Subpage

Launching your subpage for ENS subname minting opens up exciting opportunities for personalization, community building, and monetization. Imagine allowing your community members to mint unique subnames like member.yourdao.eth or offering exclusive subnames as part of a premium service.Whether you’re creating subnames for a personal project, a DAO, or a business, here’s a quick step-by-step guide. 

  1. Set up your Namespace account
  2. List your ENS
  3. Run the project

Set up your Namespace account

  1. Connect Your Wallet: Start by connecting your wallet to the Namespace Dapp. This is your gateway to managing and minting ENS subnames.
  2. Get an ENS Name (if you don’t already have one): If you don’t own an ENS name yet, you can easily get one directly through the Namespace Dapp:
    1. Enter the ENS name you want
    2. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the transaction

If you already have the ENS, you’ll see it on your Account page. 

List your ENS 

Once you lock in your ENS name, you’ll find it on your Account page. Head over to the Manager tab, pick the ENS name you want to list, and fine-tune your settings:

  1. Choose the chain you want to issue subnames on
  2. Customize subname price (or issue them for free by adding 0 as the base price)
  3. Reserve some subnames from being minted
  4. Add whitelisting options for wallets
  5. Implement token-gating based on ERC20, ERC721, or ERC1155 standards

Once everything looks good, click List Name. Just like that, your ENS name is live and ready for subname minting!
