What is a .vaulted domain?

A .vaulted domain is a Web3 blockchain domain that you truly own forever. Unlike traditional domains that require annual renewal fees and can be seized or censored, .vaulted domains are minted as NFTs on the Base Chain blockchain. Once you mint it, it's yours permanently—no renewals, no expiration, no central authority can take it away.

How is .vaulted different from traditional domains?

Key differences: Ownership - Traditional domains are rented yearly; .vaulted is permanent. Privacy - Traditional domains expose your info in WHOIS; .vaulted has built-in ZK privacy. Control - Traditional domains can be seized by registrars/governments; .vaulted is fully decentralized. Functionality - Traditional domains are just web addresses; .vaulted also works as wallet addresses, digital IDs, and tradeable NFT assets.

Do I really own it forever? No renewals?

Yes, 100%. When you mint a .vaulted domain, you pay a one-time fee and receive an NFT that represents your ownership. This ownership is recorded on the blockchain and never expires. There are no annual renewal fees, no surprise charges, and no risk of losing your domain because you forgot to renew.

What makes Freename secure?

Freename provides enterprise-grade security through: SOC 2 Type II Certification with rigorous third-party security audits, GDPR Compliance for full data protection, Base Chain Blockchain built on Coinbase's secure L2 network, and Decentralized Architecture with no single point of failure.

What is ZK privacy and how does it work?

ZK (Zero-Knowledge) privacy uses advanced cryptography to let you prove ownership of your domain without revealing your personal identity. Unlike traditional domains where your information is exposed in public WHOIS databases, .vaulted domains protect your identity by default.

Can my .vaulted domain be seized or censored?

No. Because .vaulted domains are stored on a decentralized blockchain, there's no central authority that can seize, suspend, or censor your domain. Your .vaulted domain is controlled solely by your wallet's private key—as long as you control your key, you control your domain.

How do I use my domain as a wallet address?

After minting your .vaulted domain, you can point it to any compatible wallet address through the Freename dashboard. Anyone can then send crypto to 'yourname.vaulted' instead of copying a long hex address. This works across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and more.

Can I build a website with my .vaulted domain?

Absolutely! You can point your .vaulted domain to decentralized storage like IPFS, Arweave, or traditional hosting. This creates a censorship-resistant website that can't be taken down by any single entity.

Can I sell or transfer my domain?

Yes! Your .vaulted domain is an NFT, which means you have full ownership rights to sell, trade, or transfer it at any time. You can list it on NFT marketplaces, sell directly to another user, or transfer it to another wallet. Premium domain names can appreciate in value.

How much does a .vaulted domain cost?

Pricing varies based on domain length and desirability. Standard multi-word domains are affordable, while premium single-word names are priced higher due to demand. The key difference: you pay once and own forever. No annual renewals, no surprise fees.

What payment methods are accepted?

Freename accepts Cryptocurrency (ETH, BTC, USDC, USDT), Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), and Wallet Connect for direct Web3 wallet payments. All payments are processed securely through Freename's platform.

Why should I buy during the 2026 bull market?

The 2026 crypto bull market is driving massive interest in Web3 infrastructure. Premium .vaulted names are being claimed rapidly as more users enter the space. Early adopters secure the best names at lower prices before mainstream adoption increases demand.
