A name.
Yours.

BUILT FOR ARC NETWORK

ONE NAME. YOUR PUBLIC IDENTITY.

Less hexadecimal.
More human.

ANS connects a name to an address and public records. Integrated applications can resolve that name when you need it.

01

A readable address

Use a .arc name in applications that integrate the ANS resolver. Always verify the resolved address before sending.

02

A profile you control

Connect your name, address, and public profile records. Update them from the wallet that owns the name.

03

Ownership that moves with you

Each registration is an ERC-721. Transfer the name to move control, or renew to keep it yours.

OPEN BY DESIGN

A name is useful.
Verifiable ownership
makes it yours.

Registry, resolver, and registrar contracts define how names are owned, resolved, and renewed. Inspect the model before you register.

Explore the protocol

.arc names are onchain identities, not public DNS domains. Wallet and app support requires integration.

BEFORE YOU START

Good to know.

Read the documentation →
Do I need a wallet to search?

No. Search and inspect name records first. Connect only when you want to register or manage a name.

Will .arc work in every wallet?

No. Wallets and apps must integrate ANS resolution. Adding Arc Network alone does not enable name support.

Can I keep a name forever?

Names are registered for a fixed period. Renew to retain ownership. After expiry and the grace period, a name may become available again.

Your next address
could be a name.
