Register a Hyndle name

Registration has two payments with different purposes.

Why a reservation step exists

Minting is permanent and irreversible, so Hyndle never mints a name directly from a single transaction. Registration goes through a reserve → review → mint sequence for three reasons:

  • Fairness under contention. More than one person can request the same name at the same time. Rather than racing transactions in a way that rewards whoever has the fastest bot or the highest gas bid, Hyndle resolves this deterministically: the first reservation payment actually confirmed on-chain proceeds, and every other request for that name in the same round is superseded before anything is minted.
  • Abuse screening before an irreversible action. The review step runs automated checks (protected external namespaces, wallet-address-shaped names, known wallet-secret patterns) and, where needed, manual review, so an impersonation or protocol-abuse attempt is caught before it becomes a permanent on-chain token rather than after.
  • Spam resistance without pricing out real users. The small, non-refundable reservation fee is deliberately low, but still real ETH: enough to make large-scale spamming of the review queue costly, without materially blocking a genuine registrant.

Approval and payment are both necessary but neither alone is sufficient: only a successful mint transaction on-chain creates ownership.

Reserve

Connect the wallet that should own the reservation, search for a name, accept the reservation terms, and create a request. The request is tied to the authenticated wallet, but it does not reserve or lock the name before payment is confirmed.

Pay the exact non-refundable reservation fee of 0.00053 ETH. Base network gas is estimated and displayed separately.

If several users request the same name in one availability round, the first valid on-chain reservation payment confirmed by Hyndle proceeds to review. Other candidates become superseded. A conflicting transaction that reaches the contract later can revert and still incur network gas.

Review

After the reservation payment receives the required confirmations, Hyndle reviews the request. You can follow its progress from the reservation page.

Mint

After approval:

  1. Choose the number of registration years.
  2. Review the registration price.
  3. Review the estimated network fee.
  4. Submit a salted commitment from the reservation wallet within 72 hours of approval.
  5. Wait at least 60 seconds for the commitment to mature.
  6. Reveal and mint before the commitment becomes 24 hours old and before the authorization expires.
  7. Wait for receipt and event verification.

The name becomes an ERC-721 token only after the mint transaction succeeds on-chain.

Important distinction

A reservation or approval is not ownership. Ownership begins only after the mint transaction succeeds and the ERC-721 token exists on-chain.
