Gasless DNS Setup
Overview
With NameStone, you can create gasless ENS subdomains on your DNS domain (e.g., name.testbrand.xyz). No onchain transaction is required.
NameStone works best with Cloudflare. If you are using another registrar, we've provided instructions for connecting your domain to Cloudflare.
1. Connect domain to Cloudflare
[1] Login to Cloudfare or create a free account.
[2] Go to Websites > Add a site.
[3] Follow all activation steps, be sure to:
-
Disable DNSSEC (if currently enabled)
-
Update your domain’s current nameservers to your assigned Cloudflare nameservers
[4] Complete the activation process. Activation could take a few minutes to 24 hours.
