What it is
Names you own, that point to a key.
A name on bNamesX is an on-chain record held in your wallet. It points to your identity key, so apps can find you and check it's you.
Yours, not rented
The name sits in your wallet like any other coin. No yearly renewal from a company that can take it back.
Points to your key
You sign a binding from the name to your identity key. Anyone can check it without asking us.
Pay and message
Send money or a message to a name instead of a long address.
A public log
Every binding and change is written to a public name log, so a swap can't happen quietly.
Brand names held back
Well-known brand names are kept for their real owners. Countries and cities are kept as community rooms.
Works beyond us
Built on an open standard, so other wallets and apps can read the same names.
How it works
Find it, claim it, bind it.
Find a name
Search for a name and see whether it's free, held, or kept back for a brand or a place.
Claim it in bWalletX
Pay the listed price and the name arrives in your wallet. No browser mining, no waiting at your desk.
Bind it to your key
Your wallet signs a binding from the name to your identity key, and it goes on the public log.
Use it everywhere
Apps look the name up and get your key, to pay you, message you or check a signature.
For businesses
Prove your business key is really yours.
Customers should be able to check that a payment request or a signed message really came from you, not a look-alike.
Verify with your domain
Add a short record to your website's DNS, or a file on your site, that names your business key. We check it, and so can anyone.
Your brand name, kept for you
If your brand's name is held back, verified owners can claim it for a small fee.
A verified badge in bWalletX
Requests signed with a verified key show your verified name in the wallet.
Key changes stay visible
Rotate a key and the change shows on the public log, so customers aren't caught out.
