This guide will give you step-by-step instructions of how to instantly register a new .evmos name with the official Evmos Domains app.

Step 1: Open your metamask-enabled browser

This can be Chrome, Brave, or Firefox with the extension MetaMask installed and enabled.

You must be signed in to your browser with the same wallet that you’d like to have own the name (though you can set it to resolve to a different wallet, or transfer ownership later), and you must have at least a small amount of EVMOS in your wallet to pay transaction costs and your name’s first year’s annual fee.

If you don’t have MetaMask, you can download and install it here.

metamask.io

Step 2: Navigate to the Evmos Domains app

In your browser, go to app.evmos.domains.

Bookmark this page, because it will be the easiest way for you to manage your Evmos domain names from now on!

Step 3: Search for your desired .evmos name

Type in to the “Search names” field the .evmos name you’d like to register, and click the “Search” button.

If the name is already registered by someone else, you will see a page with information about the name’s Evmos Domains records, like this:

If the name is available, you will see a page asking you for how long you’d like to register the name, like this:

Step 4: Select time interval

Use the “-” and “+” buttons to select for how many years you’d like to pay the annual fee initially. When you register a name with the Evmos Domains app, you have to register it for at least one year. You can pay extra to register it for additional years. You can always choose to extend your registration period at another time in the future.

Note: You must have enough EVMOS in your MetaMask wallet to pay the full cost of registration.

Step 5: Start the registration process

Click the blue “Request To Register” button on the bottom right. A box should pop up from MetaMask asking you to confirm the transaction. Click the “Confirm” button to confirm it.

Step 6: Wait

Do not close your browser during this process!

First, your transaction must be confirmed. This should take less than one minute.

Second, you have to wait for another minute to ensure no one else is trying to register your name. The green bar in the middle of the screen will slowly advance across the screen to show that time is passing.

Step 7: Finish registration

Once your wait time is over, orange text will appear that says “Click register to move to the 3rd step.” Click the blue next to it that says “Register.”

This will cause another MetaMask box to pop up, asking you to confirm another transaction that will finalize your name and pay your registration fee. Click the “Confirm” button.

Back on the app’s page, where the “Register” button was you will see “TX PENDING.” Once the transaction is confirmed, your name is registered!
