Friendly Names for the Permaweb

Friendly Names for the Permaweb

The Arweave Name System (ArNS) works similarly to traditional Domain Name Services - but with ArNS, the registry is decentralized, permanent, and stored on Arweave. It’s a simple way to name and help you - and your users - find your data, apps, or websites on Arweave.

Domain Auctions

Domain Auctions

ArNS employs an auction process, particularly for premium names with variable value, using a Dutch Auction model to ensure market-driven price discovery and equitable access.

View live auctions

The auction accommodates only two bids: the initial bid and the final bid. The first bid is greater than or equal to the assigned floor price. Once the first bid is placed, the timer for the auction begins.

Bid on domains

The auction starts at a ceiling price and progressively decreases until another bid purchases it, or it hits the floor price, and the initial bidder receives the name.
