Using Hosted ENSNode Instances
Hosted Instances
Section titled “Hosted Instances”NameHash Labs provides freely available hosted instances for ENS developers looking to get started quickly.
These instances are provided free of charge with no API key required, have no rate limiting, and are maintained and monitored by the NameHash Labs team.
Available ENSNode Instances
Section titled “Available ENSNode Instances”The key differences between these hosted deployments is the ENS deployment being indexed (mainnet vs a testnet) and the list of ENSNode plugins that are activated. See the table below for details. Main difference from client perspective is chain being indexed and list of plugins being handled. Here is the table listing differences between those.
