Claiming Identity (ENS, SNS...)

PreviousClaiming IdentityNextSub-identity

Last updated 27 days ago

MNS allows you to re-claim any ENS domain you own without purchasing a separate name. During this process, the MNS system checks on-chain ownership to verify you truly own the ENS domain, then transfers your recognized domain into MNS under the same wallet address.

1

Connect Your Wallet and Switch to Ethereum

  • On the MNS Home page, ensure your wallet is connected and Ethereum is selected as the network.

  • Ensure you connect the same wallet that currently holds the ENS domain you want to claim.

2

Enter Domain in Search

  • Start typing the ENS domain you own in the search bar.

  • A dropdown displays up to 3 search results matching your text and a “See all results” option.

  • Review the Dropdown

    • The system shows a 100% discount label if you own the ENS domain.

    • Click an Available name → goes to the Reclaim ENS page (if it’s an ENS domain you own) or standard Registration page (if you don’t own it).

    • Click a Taken name → goes to the Identity Details page (read-only).

    • Click “See all results” → opens the Search page, where you’ll find more results.

3

Verifying ENS Ownership for Discounts

  • MNS verifies on-chain that your connected wallet is the Owner of the ENS domain.

  • If you qualify, you’ll see 100% Off on the search results and a 0 ETH price at checkout.

  • Click on an Available ENS domain you own; you’ll see the Reclaim ENS page

Ownership Limitations

  • Exclusive MNS identities are not eligible for the free ENS re-claim discount.

  • ENS domain owners can claim for free only once. Any renewal or second attempt uses full MNS pricing.

  • If your ENS domain registration has already expired on Ethereum, standard MNS pricing applies.

4

Reclaiming ENS Domain

Registration Period

  • ENS owners get 6 months automatically (free).

  • This duration is fixed (cannot be changed).

Check Availability

  • After verifying ownership and the domain’s active status, click “Check Availability.”

  • If successful, you’ll see a “Claim” button.

Confirm & Claim

  • Click “Claim.” Approve the transaction in your wallet.

  • If successful, a “Congratulations” window appears, confirming your identity is now on MNS.
