Pricing and limits
The first name — five characters or more — is free for every wallet, once, and we pay the gas. Invitations and purchases cover short names. The caps are published live.
Free names
- Every wallet may claim one name of 5 characters or more (a CJK character counts as two). No invitation is needed for it.
- Registration is sponsored: the project pays the gas, your wallet pays nothing.
- Labels: no emoji, no leading or trailing hyphen, no mixed confusable scripts — the availability endpoint says which rule rejected a name, and “taken” is not an error.
Short names: invitation or purchase
- One invitation, written to a wallet address or an X account, covers one 3–4 character short name, free. That is the invitation's whole job now.
Short and additional names: the price ladder
| Length | Approved price | Status today |
|---|---|---|
| 4 characters | $5 | on sale for USDG, or free for invited wallets |
| 3 characters | $20 | invitation-only, free |
| 2 characters | $100 | held by the project, not for sale |
| 1 character | $500 | held by the project, not for sale |
A four-character name is $5 USDG, paid on robinhood to the project treasury; the registration itself is still sponsored. A second long name beyond the free one is $1. One payment buys exactly one name, and names of 1–3 characters stay with the project.
The caps, live
Sponsored registration is capped so a leak is a fender-bender, not a firehose. These numbers come from /v1/metrics at render time — a pause is visible rather than mysterious:
| Names issued (hard cap) | 10,000 |
| Platform-sponsored per day | 500 |
| Sponsored so far, all time | 4 |
| USD ceiling on sponsorship in total | $200 |
| Confirmation links expire after | 15 minutes |
What is planned, not priced in
Numbers with no way to pay them yet.
- Record certification: $5/month — the record contract is not deployed, so nothing can be certified yet.
