How to Get a Free ENS Domain With Burner

The way we send and receive crypto is finally changing. For years, sharing a cryptocurrency wallet address meant copying a string of random characters—long, easy to mistype, and impossible to remember. The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) offers a better path: human-readable names, unique to you, that make crypto as straightforward as sending an email.

Every Burner Ethereum wallet includes a free ENS name, so you can join the ENS ecosystem with no registration costs, gas transaction fee, or annual renewal. Your wallet address becomes a real name, and managing crypto feels personal, intuitive, and secure.

What Is the Ethereum Name Service and Why Does It Matter?

The Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, is a decentralized naming protocol that converts long, complex wallet addresses into human-readable names. Instead of sending funds to 0x9c89..., you can send them to jane.brnr.eth.

ENS domains are built on Ethereum smart contracts and are stored onchain as NFTs, giving you ownership and control over your identity across blockchain applications.

Human-readable names solve one of crypto’s core UX problems. ENS names act as a gateway to the broader ENS ecosystem: receive Ethereum addresses, Bitcoin, and even content hashes through a single, universal address. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about making Web3 accessible to more people.

How ENS Domains Work

Much like the Domain Name System (DNS system) powers the web, ENS domains bring naming logic to the blockchain. An ENS domain lets you map a name you choose to your cryptocurrency addresses, profile records, and more.

Your ENS name is stored on Ethereum, protected by your private key, and points to any supported EVM chain, public key, or crypto wallet address. It’s portable, programmable, and censorship-resistant by design.

Even though ENS lives on Ethereum mainnet, modern wallets and protocols now support ENS resolution on Layer 2 networks like Base, Optimism, and ZKsync. That means your ENS name can work across multiple chains without extra setup or complexity.

Burner Wallet: ENS Domains With No Extra Fees

Traditionally, getting an ENS domain means dealing with registration costs, gas transaction fees, and annual renewals. With Burner, your ENS domain is included for free when you onboard—no separate steps, no hidden network fees. This is made possible through our partnership with NameStone, a leading provider of custom ENS onboarding solutions.

For more details on the integration, check out their case study on how Burner uses brnr.eth subdomains to make hardware wallets instantly personal and gas-free.

During setup, simply pick your custom ENS name (formatted as yourname.brnr.eth). You can update your ENS name any time from your wallet settings. Burner handles all the complexity so you can focus on using your crypto.

If you ever update your ENS name, your previous one instantly becomes available to the ENS ecosystem. Make sure you aren’t sharing an old address with anyone who might send funds, just like you wouldn’t change your phone number without notifying important contacts.

The Benefits of ENS Domains for Everyday Users

Owning a custom ENS domain streamlines everything:

• Easy sending and receiving: Forget copy-pasting hex addresses. Use a name that’s easy to remember and share.
• Multi-chain utility: Link your ENS name to Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, and decentralized websites.
• Onchain identity: Stand out in blockchain applications and the wider domain name industry with a portable, programmable name.
• No ongoing costs: ENS domains with Burner are free—no registration costs or surprise fees.

With ENS, your crypto presence is both secure and accessible. Your ENS name, linked to your wallet address, can serve as your primary name for everything from DeFi protocols to NFT marketplaces. As the ENS ecosystem grows, so does the utility of your ENS domain.

You don’t need to be a developer or manage smart contracts to claim your place in Web3. With Burner, your ENS name isn’t just easier to use—it’s yours to own. Onchain identity, simplified.
