Own your name on Bitcoin.

A short, human-readable name — like alice — that's truly yours. One time, about $1. No token, no company, no rent, no renewal. Once it's yours, no one can take it or charge you to keep it — not even us.

No token · No new blockchain · No governance body or vote · No rent, renewal, or expiry · No reserved names, founder allocation, or admin key.
There's nothing to buy and nothing to extract. The one-time claim fee goes to Bitcoin's miners, not to us.

The idea

It's property.
Pay once. Then nobody — including the people who built ONT — can take it, expire it, or charge you rent.
Nobody decides.
Names are handed out by a fixed rule, and who owns what is computed by replaying Bitcoin — not by anyone's database, judgment, or say-so.
Everything is checkable.
Verify, don't trust: if a claim about who owns a name can't be checked against Bitcoin, it doesn't count.

How you get a name

Claim the name you want for a fixed ~$1, paid to Bitcoin's miners. A short notice window opens, so anyone who wants the same name has a chance to show up. If nobody does, it's yours. If someone else wants it too, a returnable bond opens an open auction — the largest bond wins, and you get your bond back.

Unowned → Claim ~$1 → Notice window → Yours …contested during the window → Auction (largest bond wins)

You never have to trust the servers: publishers can't decide ownership, resolvers can't lie without getting caught, and there is no admin key that can take a name back — each one comes with the mechanism that catches it. How the trust works →

Where it really is

Status: a working prototype on a private Bitcoin test network. Not on mainnet, and not mainnet-ready. We keep a public, exact record of what's live, what's built, and what's still just designed — and it wins over anything this page says.
