Base Rolls Out ENS Subnames Feature to Upgrade Services
These ENS subnames are developed under the structure of an existing ENS (moms and dad) name. The goal is to handle several ENS identities appropriately and more effectively.
Any ENS domain owner can develop and handle boundless subdomains or subnames. Users sign up with names such as Stuart.base.eth, which are much easier to check out than the complicated traditional blockchain domain.
Even more, the Base network exposed that all names will be noted through a Dutch Auction when Basenames launch. The auction costs will reduce over 36 hours, providing all users a reasonable chance at selecting names.

The designers likewise think the auction will avoid bots from surpassing the name service. The premium cost for this service will begin at 100 ETH and drop to 0.39 ETH in the very first 12 hours. It will no longer use after the Dutch auction.
Base's lead Jesse Pollak kept in mind that Basenames will release on Tuesday. According to Pollak Basenames will end up being the most convenient method to start constructing or living on-chain for users.

Users React to ENS Updates
Base's statement stimulated combined responses amongst its fans and other crypto neighborhood members. One user, NFTart, kept in mind that Dutch auctions do not avoid front-running deals. A BOT can send out a deal with a greater gas cost to surpass a user's quote for a name.
NFTart prompted Base designers to stop the transfer of Basenames for around 3 months to prevent third-party sales. They likewise argued that users can send their Base NFTs to an ENS without experiencing problems.
Another user, depressivehacks.eth, contemplated why he required a Base subname after getting an ENS. He kept in mind that any deals on Base would still be noticeable.
Base lead Pollack reacted to depressivehacks.eth, prompting him to stick to his ENS. However, Pollack thinks that a number of users will still wish to get Basenames.
