Keep ENS apps working 🚨
The ENS Subgraph is not ENSv2 compatible
Section titled “The ENS Subgraph is not ENSv2 compatible”Over the years, the ENS Subgraph quietly became one of the most depended-on pieces of infrastructure in ENS. An enormous swath of the ENS ecosystem — and much of the broader web3 / Ethereum ecosystem — reads ENS data through it, directly or indirectly.
Usage at scale
Section titled “Usage at scale”The ENS Subgraph is a cornerstone of the current ENS architecture (ENSv1), handling an extraordinary volume of requests:
- Approx. 2 million average daily requests
- Over 717 million requests annually
ENS Subgraph daily query volume following the transition to Graph Network hosting (June 20, 2024 onward)
This volume sets the floor: it’s the minimum scale at which any replacement must operate.
Applications dependent on the ENS Subgraph
Section titled “Applications dependent on the ENS Subgraph”The list below is a partial map of the projects and applications that depend on the ENS Subgraph for their functionality — directly, or indirectly. When ENSv2 launches, indexed ENS data must keep flowing to all of these, or they break.

What this means
Section titled “What this means”The breadth of applications above shows that indexed ENS data is critical infrastructure for ENS and the broader ecosystem — and that there is large, proven demand for it today. When ENSv2 launches, the Subgraph’s Key Limitations become breaking for these apps. ENSNode exists to keep indexed ENS data flowing through the transition and beyond, with a robust, scalable, multichain, ENSv2-ready replacement.
Already building directly on ENSNode
Section titled “Already building directly on ENSNode”A growing set of companies and apps have already moved onto ENSNode — see who’s already building on ENSNode.
Next Steps
Section titled “Next Steps”Next, consider the key limitations of the legacy ENS Subgraph.
Or, prepare your app or platform for ENSv2 by adopting ENSNode’s Omnigraph API.
