The name goes where the wallet goes. There is no password reset and no support desk that can recover it, because nobody else holds it — that is the same trade-off as any other asset in a self-custodied wallet. Back up your recovery phrase before you buy anything.
On Freename, the provider that operates these extensions. Every extension page here has a link that takes you straight to that extension on their platform.
Prices are set by the provider and vary by extension and by name length, so we do not quote them here — the figure you see on the provider’s page is the one that applies.
Try a different extension. The collection is organised so that most ideas have more than one plausible home, and a name taken under one extension is usually free under another.
Browsers with native Web3 support, browsers with an extension installed, and public gateways. An ordinary browser with no extension will not resolve it, which is why a Web3 name is usually shared as a link rather than dictated.
Where the provider supports it, yes — a name can carry records for a site, an avatar and social profiles as well as wallet addresses. What is available depends on the provider, not on us.
Yes. Thirteen extensions in the collection are written in other scripts. The name displays as written and resolves through its punycode form underneath, which is the standard mechanism for internationalised domains.
No. We are a directory. We do not register names, take payments, hold funds or manage anything after a purchase.
Yes — links to the provider are affiliate links, and they are marked as such in the page markup. It costs you nothing and does not affect which extensions we list or how we describe them.
