Gwei Name Service (GNS) launched an ownerless, unruggable Ethereum Name Service (ENS) alternative built as a fork of the wei.domains protocol. The new service, gwei.domains, forked from developer z0r0z's wei-names codebase, removes all administrative controls and administrative ownership structures. The deployment eliminates the Ownable contract, removing the contract owner, admin-only configurations, and the ability to alter fees or withdraw funds.

Registration fees are fixed as constants in the contract, and because no withdraw function exists, all collected ether is locked in the contract forever. The on-chain namespace uses the .gwei suffix, resolving through a fresh NameNFT contract instead of pointing to a known mainnet address.

The service supports standard features, including registering InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) websites accessible through the gwei.domains web gateway. Registrations start at under one dollar (at current ETH prices) for non-premium domains, while subdomains under the .id.gwei namespace are offered for free.
