The ENS community has opened a governance discussion proposing to migrate ENSv2 domain registrations and renewals to a Layer 2 registry to reduce mainnet gas fees while maintaining Ethereum's security model. The proposal is still in early governance and has not yet passed a DAO vote. If implemented, it could lower domain management costs and boost adoption among ordinary users.

The ENS community has kicked off a governance discussion that would shift ENSv2 domain registrations and renewals to a Layer 2 registry. The goal is simple: cut mainnet gas fees without breaking ENS’s tie to Ethereum’s security model.

Right now, the proposal is still at an early governance stage and has not gone to a DAO vote. If it passes, ENS may bring down domain management costs while keeping the trust assumptions tied to the Ethereum settlement layer. And that could help push adoption with everyday users.
