Renew your .xch Name
It’s the same as registering, just use the memo MyName.xch:MyName.xch , sending to the same address and using the same fee. You can renew from any wallet and the renewal will go to the same wallet as the previous NFT – yes, you get a new NFT with a new expiry block. NOTE: The name MUST be expired before you can renew it. You have an approximately 90-day grace period to renew. You can choose a new capitalization in the display name when you renew, e.g. using MyNaME.xch:MyNaME.xch as your memo for myname.xch – BOTH names in the memo should use the new capitalization, for simplicity.
Get some NAME token via Dexie (or for a free triple-underscore name, ask for some AIR token in our Discord)
Send your 5 or 10 NAME tokens (or 0.5 NAME or 0.001 AIR, see above) to: xch1jhye8dmkhree0zr8t09rlzm9cc82mhuqtp5tlmsj4kuqvs69s2wsl90su4 and click on “Show Advanced Options” and enter in “Memo” the name you want, e.g. ThisName.xch Names are case-insensitive; the capitalization you submit will be used in the display name shown in the NFT image.
Wait a minute or two and check the NFT in the Chia Wallet for your new Namesdao .xch Name!
Note: If you want to check on the name availability, see the form at the top of this page. Names must be 4 or more letters or numbers at this moment for names with no underscores at the beginning, or 4 or more letters or numbers for names with 1 or 3 underscores at the beginning.
In your Chia wallet, you can also add NAME (or AIR) to your token list so you see your tokens better. The Asset Id for NAME is 4c4380af7d15c896d9e6266f322ac494c398803032eef56f2ab65877956d007f and the Asset Id for AIR is 824c71e37ac660006e03f7884561e7a124d930460ae1506a9c234c06ebc6aa1d.
After clicking on “Tokens” in the top left, click on “Manage Token List” at the bottom left:
Click on the plus sign “+” at the top right edge of the menu that pops up:
Fill in the name “NAME” and the Asset Id: 4c4380af7d15c896d9e6266f322ac494c398803032eef56f2ab65877956d007f

Biggest Misconceptions about Namesdao
Some people think “Name resolution is centralized” - No, the Chia blockchain is the primary name resolver
Some people think “It’s a domain name” - Yes, and it’s also more than that, since it’s an NFT and it’s also a wallet address!
More Notes
Your .xch name is case-insensitive, but the NFT will store the capitalization you used when you requested the name and have that available as a Display Name attribute, and also use that name in the NFT image we create for your .xch name.
We’ll be generating offers for NAME tokens in XCH at the rate of approximately $1 per NAME token at the time of offer creation, at the present time.
Namesdao is in the process of building a decentralized name registration solution to complement its existing decentralized name resolution. Names can be used to send tokens using our Goby wallet-integrated dapp at https://dapp.namesdao.org/ or our open source command-line interface, namesdao-cli. Stay tuned for news about more support. These two methods initially use our secondary cache lookup provided as a convenience.
Note: Names initially may be up to 100 characters long, but may not be 62 characters long.
You may pay more than the minimum registration fee. Any additional amount will be considered a contribution to Namesdao and much appreciated.
The Goby-wallet-integrated dapp only supports payment in XCH at this moment. We hope to add NAME token payment support in the not too distant future.
The XCH registration price may be updated over time, e.g. monthly, check our website for latest details
Namesdao .xch Names leverage the extensive infrastructure of Chia NFT1 names, including offers, transfers, wallet support, NFT explorers and more. A Namesdao name may be sold or transferred easily. Existing names holders have placed names for sales at prices from 0.42069 XCH, up to 666 XCH.
Namesdao .xch names are provided without warranty or guaranty and Namesdao’s liability shall be limited to the registration fee paid to Namesdao, excluding the Chia blockchain transaction fee. This is an experimental product in an early beta test release.
Thank you all for support and encouragement, and a special thanks for the mentions on Twitter and other social networks.
