Why founders care

Identity That Sticks

Replace wallet strings with portable, human names users keep across apps.

Brand Layer for Communities

Launch names like player.project.abs to turn community membership into visible identity.

Revenue Potential

Project subdomains route 70% of paid registration revenue to the project wallet.

Less 0x, More Personality

No one has ever said: wow, what a beautiful wallet address.

Founder view

Better UX: names are readable, social, and easy to share.
Better retention: users keep identity while moving between products.
Better brand lift: subdomains turn your project into a visible namespace.
Faster go-to-market: launch in phases, no giant rewrite required.

Technical view

Onchain source of truth for ownership and resolution.
Oracle-aware registration flow using `registerWithPriceUpdate`.
Primary name logic via `setRecord(name, wallet)` + `getNameByAddress(wallet)`.
Event indexing keeps caches and user profiles synchronized.

Integration architecture

Recommended in production

Read layer

Resolve names and records directly from contract reads, cache for speed, refresh after writes.

Write layer

Use oracle-updated register methods, transaction states, and clear error handling.

Indexing layer

Index core events so search, profile, and ownership views stay trustworthy.

Optional SDK fast-track (not required)

Teams can integrate directly with contract calls, but ANS also provides an official SDK to reduce setup time for reads, writes, pricing/oracle helpers, and event watching.

SDK in Developer Docs NPM Package

Project subdomains, in detail

ANS supports branded namespaces like `player.project.abs`. This is where community, monetization, and identity all meet.

Flexible pricing

Use global ANS length pricing or define your own per-subdomain 15-slot pricing table.

NFT-gated access

Optionally require holders of a specific NFT collection to register in your subdomains.

Namespace control

Enable or pause subdomains anytime. When disabled, registrations are blocked immediately.

How subdomain pricing works

If no custom pricing table is set, ANS uses global length pricing for the label.
If custom table is set, slots map to label lengths 1-15, with slot 15 used for 15+ characters.
Price is determined by label length only, not the full name including `.project`.
Oracle conversion and update fee logic remains the same as top-level names.

Access control options

Open registration for everyone in your subdomains.
NFT-gated registration: require holders of a specific collection to mint.
Temporarily pause subdomain registrations without deleting prior names.

Revenue flow

Subdomain paid registration: 70% to project wallet and 30% to ANS protocol split. Formula in contract logic:

projectAmount = price * 7000 / 10000; treasuryAmount = price - projectAmount

Namespace examples

hero.project.abs

Label length is 4, so pricing uses slot 4 (or custom slot 4).

og.project.abs

Label length is 2, often set as premium tier for scarce badges.

season1-winner.project.abs

Length 15+ maps to slot 15 in custom pricing tables.

Suggestions

Fast ideas partners can plug into games, casinos, marketplaces, and social products.

Use ANS names in player profiles, leaderboards, lobbies, and chat so users are recognized instantly.

For games, show subdomain badges (e.g. champion.project.abs) as progression/reward identity.

For casinos, map VIP tiers to gated subdomains and show them in tables, history, and referral pages.

For marketplaces, resolve seller/buyer names and display avatar + socials from text records.

For social/project hubs, launch campaign subdomains (season1.project.abs) for events and quests.

For power users, embed direct in-app registration using the oracle-updated registration path.

Build with ANS in phases

Start with display-only identity, then add profile support, then full registration, then branded subdomains. Fast wins first, deep integration second.
