Odaily Planet Daily News Base Name Service (BNS) published a statement on X: "With the launch of Basenames, Base Name Service (BNS) is gradually shutting down to ensure that every Base user can get a unified name service and on-chain identity experience. We have been working closely with the Base team to ensure that existing users benefit the most. As part of this, we have agreed to provide exclusive discounts to all users, making it easier for users to get new names for free on the Basenames platform by simply connecting the same wallet containing the BNS name. Note: All discounts will apply after the Dutch auction period and will be launched 36 hours later." Yesterday, Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, said on the X platform: "Emphasize: Basenames belongs to everyone. That's why we are going to do a 36-hour full-chain Dutch auction at the beginning to ensure that they are not all bought up by robots."
