NamID ProtocolNames people own, on a chain that can prove it.
A naming and identity layer on Chia. Roots are soulbound coins auctioned once in XCH; the names under them are ordinary Chia coins; every name is a W3C DID (did:namid); a wallet resolves a name only with a proof it verified against consensus. No token. XCH is the only currency.

testnet11 · three outlets · a desktop wallet · three ecosystem venues already issuing and resolving names
Standard
A CHIP drafted on DID1 + NFT1, no consensus change; the did:namid method specified and headed to the W3C registry
The ask
USD 30k to test on mainnet now; a seed round to open it. Founder: MayankR, Web3UTXOs Technologies
Chia has addresses, DIDs, NFTs and offers — and no name a wallet can prove.
Addresses are unmemorable
Nobody types xch1…. Every payment starts with a copy-paste and a hope.
Handles are custodial
Every "name" on Chia so far is a web server you have to trust. If the server lies, the wallet cannot tell.
Identity has no home
did:chia is printed by wallets but is not a registered, specified DID method. Nothing lets a Chia identity be a login anywhere else.
Roots are soulbound and sold once. Names are yours. Resolution is verify-or-refuse.
Root = one coin
A root (.xch, .mojo, .chia, .x) is a singleton whose covenant refuses transfer. Won at a sealed-bid auction in XCH under a threshold-signed DAO. Recovery by vault, never by sale.
Name = a Chia coin
Transferable names are NFT1 coins that trade as standard offer files on any marketplace. Soulbound names are bound to a DID and never renewed — a login that cannot be bought.
Every name is a DID
did:namid:alice.mojo resolves to a DID document projected from the coin and its records. Sign in with your name; the wallet that holds it signs.
Proof, not trust
The resolver answers with the coin's lineage; the wallet checks it with a light client against consensus, or refuses. A lying resolver is caught by arithmetic.
One protocol, four surfaces, three venues.
namid.net
Home, documentation, the client default; proxies the API to the application outlet.
namidbase.com
Root auctions, registration, the DAO treasury, records, mail, calls.
names.cat
The marketplace for transferable names — by rule it lists nothing soulbound.
SageX wallet
Desktop, CLI and extension; verifies every answer; signs you in with your name; WalletConnect to every venue.
offerfiles.com
Issues .xch, .wallet, .wallets; names sign in; RWA platforms with Web3UTXOS as transfer agent.
chianfts.com · mymojos.com
Issue .chia and soulbound .mojo names; resolve every NamID beside NFTs and profiles.
Roots, names and services are sold for XCH. Every one of them is a coin spend.
Three income lines, one treasury, and a side effect Chia is paid for directly: every root, name, renewal and record update is a singleton or NFT1 spend that pays fees and consumes block space. The protocol grows demand for Chia's block space as it grows.
Roots (TLDs)
Sold once, at auction, for XCH. Soulbound afterwards, so the auction is the only time a root is ever sold — scarcity by covenant, not by policy. Twenty a day on the schedule; the base price rises with the count and again before mainnet.
Names (SLDs)
Issued under each root on the issuer's terms — termed, transferable or soulbound — with renewals for termed names and a marketplace fee on names.cat trades.
Services
Records, mail, calls, DID resolution, venue integrations and the RWA transfer-agent platforms — sold to the venues and holders who use them.
Built, deployed, gated — and already integrated.
outlets and a wallet live: namid.net, namidbase.com, names.cat, SageX
venues issuing and resolving names at their own cost: OfferFiles, chianfts, MyMojos
popular-site gift names reserved; 99 ecosystem gifts; 38,953 OFAC labels refused
automated tests on every deploy; seven drift gates from the reference tree to the outlets
From a testnet you can use to a mainnet you can trust.
