Traditional domains are rented, not owned. Miss a renewal, lose the name, and you might also lose email, links, and trust you built around it. That risk feels normal in Web2, but it doesn’t have to be.

Freename is a Web3 naming system where domains are minted onchain and held in your wallet like an asset. Once it’s minted, there are no renewal fees, and ownership is recorded on the blockchain. If you’ve ever wondered why a name you “bought” can still be taken away, this is the simplest fix.

Onchain domains also unlock practical uses beyond a website. You can point a human-readable name to a wallet address for payments, use it as a public identity, and, depending on the tools you choose, connect it to sites and apps that work in everyday browsers. What would it change if your domain lived in the same wallet as your crypto?

Kooky Domains makes this easier by selling permanent onchain domains that are owned by you, powered by Freename. That means you’re not signing up for a subscription, you’re buying something you can keep, move, or sell, with ownership you can verify.

This beginner’s guide breaks it down in plain English: what Freename is, how onchain domains work, what you can actually do with a domain after you buy it, and how to get one safely without costly missteps. You’ll also see the common mistakes new buyers make (like picking the wrong chain, skipping basic wallet safety, or assuming every app supports every naming system). If you want a name you control, not one you rent, you’re in the right place.

How Freename works, from search to true ownership

Freename-powered domains (like the ones on Kooky Domains) work less like a yearly rental and more like a personal asset you hold yourself. You search a name, choose where you want it minted, approve the purchase, and the ownership record lands in your wallet. From that point on, control comes down to one thing: who holds the domain in their wallet address.

The pieces sound technical at first, but the flow is simple once you map it to something familiar. Think of it like buying a concert ticket that lives in your wallet instead of in an email inbox. If you have the wallet, you have the ticket. If you send it to someone else, they now have it.

What you actually buy: a domain held in your wallet

When you buy a Freename-powered onchain domain through Kooky Domains, you’re not getting a login on a website that can be reset by customer support. You’re getting a unique ownership token that sits in your wallet and represents the domain. Whoever controls that wallet controls the domain.

That’s the key mental shift. A normal account is guarded by a password. An onchain domain is guarded by your wallet keys.

Here’s the practical difference:

• Account password: A secret you create for one site. If you forget it, you can often reset it with email or support.
• Wallet recovery phrase (seed phrase): The master key to your wallet. If someone gets it, they can take what’s inside. If you lose it and don’t have a backup, nobody can restore it for you.

If you’ve ever reused a password, this is where you slow down. A wallet recovery phrase is not “another password.” It’s closer to the only spare key to a safe. Keep it offline, private, and backed up safely.

Ownership is also public onchain, which sounds scary until you understand what’s public and what isn’t. The blockchain records show:

• The domain’s token and its current owner (a wallet address).
• Past transfers between wallet addresses.

What it does not show is your name, your email, or your recovery phrase. People can see the address that holds the domain, but they can’t see the private keys that control that address.

A quick, real-world way to think about “public ownership” is a vehicle title lookup. The record is visible, but only the person with the keys can drive the car.

Practical example (how to verify who owns a domain):
Let’s say you bought yourname on Kooky Domains and minted it to your wallet. To confirm it’s really yours, you can look up the domain’s onchain record in a block explorer for the chain you used (for example, PolygonScan for Polygon or BscScan for BNB Chain). The record will show a “holder” or “owner” wallet address. If that address matches your wallet address, that’s your proof.

This is also why buying from a trusted source matters. Kooky Domains sells onchain domains that are owned by Kooky and powered by Freename, so the ownership trail is clear and verifiable once you mint to your wallet.

Supported blockchains and what “minting” means

When people say “minting,” they mean writing the ownership record to a blockchain. It’s the moment the domain becomes an onchain asset with a clear owner, instead of just a name you picked on a checkout page.

If you’re new, it helps to picture minting like stamping a serial number onto something you bought. The stamp is permanent, and anyone can check it.

Freename supports multiple networks, including Polygon, BNB Chain, Cronos, and Aurora. These are simply different blockchains where your domain can live. The domain works the same basic way, but the network you choose affects costs, speed, and which apps you can easily use with it.

So how do you pick a chain without overthinking it?

Start with three beginner-friendly questions, and answer them in order:

1. Where is my wallet already set up?
   If you already use a wallet on Polygon or BNB Chain, staying there keeps things simple. Fewer network switches means fewer mistakes.
2. What will fees feel like on that network?
   Fees vary by chain and by network traffic. Some networks tend to be cheaper for typical actions, which can make setup and updates less stressful.
3. Where do the apps I use actually live?
   If your favorite dapps, exchanges, or identity tools are mostly on one chain, minting there can reduce friction later. You don’t want to constantly bridge or swap just to use the name.

One more plain-English note: choosing a chain isn’t about “the best chain.” It’s about the least headache for your situation. If you’re primarily using one ecosystem today, mint where you already operate. You can always expand your setup later, but your first goal is clean ownership you can verify.

No renewals, no surprises: how permanence changes the rules

Traditional domains are usually a subscription dressed up as a purchase. You pay each year (or every few years), and if you miss the renewal window, you can lose the name. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve used it or how much you built on it. The system treats it like a lease.

Freename-powered onchain domains flip that model. You pay once, the domain is minted to your wallet, and there are no renewal fees. Your ownership doesn’t depend on remembering a billing date or keeping a credit card valid.

Why does that matter in real life?

• For identity: Your name stays yours. If people learn it, you can keep using it long term.
• For brands: You reduce the risk of losing a key asset because of an expired card, a missed email, or a staff change.
• For builders: You can ship links, profiles, and payment routes without planning for “what if we forget renewal.”

This is less about ideology and more about removing a common failure point. Expiration risk is a quiet problem until it hits you.

A simple scenario makes it obvious. Imagine you’re a creator and you use one domain for everything: your profile link, your public wallet address, your community, and your merch. With a rental domain, you either:

• Keep paying forever, and hope billing never fails, or
• Risk waking up one day to a broken link and a name someone else can buy

With a permanent onchain domain, you mint it once and keep using the same name year after year. You can still change where it points, update your setup, or transfer it if you ever sell the brand, but you’re not living under an expiration timer.

And if you’re thinking, “What if I want to prove I’ve owned this name for a long time?” you can, because the chain shows the history.

Gas fees and “meta transactions” (the beginner-friendly version)

To write anything to a blockchain, the network charges a processing fee. That fee is called gas. Gas pays the network validators to include your transaction and keep the system running.

If you’ve ever paid a shipping fee to get a package delivered, you already understand gas. The product can be free, but the delivery still costs something.

Now the part that helps beginners: some platforms can use meta transactions for certain actions. In plain terms, a meta transaction is when the platform smooths out the gas step for you, so you don’t have to calculate fees or hold the exact token at the exact moment. You still approve the action, but the experience can feel closer to a normal checkout.

It’s important to keep expectations realistic: meta transactions can reduce friction, but they won’t remove every fee in every situation. Network rules still apply, and some actions may still require you to have a small balance for gas, depending on what you’re doing and where.

If you want to avoid the most common causes of failed transactions, keep it simple:

1. Check you’re on the right network in your wallet.
   A huge number of “it didn’t work” issues are just the wallet set to the wrong chain (for example, trying to complete a Polygon action while your wallet is on BNB Chain).
2. Read the wallet prompt before you click confirm.
   Wallet pop-ups show the network, the contract interaction, and the fee. If something looks off, cancel and re-try. A ten-second pause can save you a painful mistake.
3. Keep a small gas balance when needed.
   Even when a flow feels “gas-light,” it’s smart to keep a little of the network’s gas token available. That way you don’t get stuck mid-setup when you need to make a change or finish a transfer.

Once you get through your first mint, the rest feels routine. Search the name, mint it to your wallet, verify ownership onchain, and you’re holding a domain you control, without renewal deadlines hanging over you.

What you can do with a Freename-powered onchain domain on Kooky Domains

Buying a permanent onchain domain on Kooky Domains is only step one. The real value shows up when you start using that name as a tool, a way to receive funds, prove who you are, and keep one consistent identity across the apps you already touch.

A Freename-powered onchain domain is owned by you in your wallet, with ownership recorded onchain. That simple fact changes the usual rules. Instead of renting a name and hoping renewals never fail, you can treat your domain like a long-term asset, a “name badge” you carry with you. And because it’s onchain, other people can verify that the name really belongs to your wallet.

Below are the most practical things you can do right away, with clear limits where support depends on the wallet or app you use.

Use your domain as a human-readable wallet name

Wallet addresses are not built for humans. They’re long, random-looking strings, and one wrong character can send funds to the wrong place. You can copy and paste, but even that has risks. Clipboard malware exists, and people still make mistakes when switching between apps.

A domain-based wallet name fixes the basic problem: people remember words better than hex. When a wallet or app supports domain resolution, someone can send funds to your domain name instead of typing (or pasting) your full address. It’s the same idea as saving a contact in your phone. You don’t dial the full number from memory, you tap a name you trust.

Here’s what changes in day-to-day use:

• When you share your address publicly (social bio, group chat, invoice), a readable name reduces copy-paste errors.
• When someone pays you, they can double-check the name more easily than a long string.
• When you manage multiple wallets, a domain can act like a label people can recognize.

The best part is how it feels in real life. If you’ve ever been paid in crypto, you know the awkward moment when someone asks, “Is this address correct?” A clean domain name makes that moment smoother, because it’s easier for both sides to confirm they’re looking at the right destination.

That said, support varies. Domain-to-address sending only works when the wallet, exchange, or app you’re using can resolve that domain system. Some apps will accept it in the recipient field like a normal address, others won’t. If your app doesn’t support it, you can still use your domain as an identity and share your actual address the usual way.

Safety matters more than convenience. A readable name reduces mistakes, but it doesn’t remove the need to verify.

A few habits that prevent expensive errors:

1. Verify the destination before you send. In supported apps, confirm the resolved address (many wallets show the final address after resolution). If you’re sending to someone else’s domain, ask them to confirm the last few characters of the address out of band (for example, in a separate message).
2. Test with a small amount first. If you’re sending a larger payment, a tiny test transfer is cheap insurance. Once it arrives, send the rest.
3. Watch for look-alike names. Scammers register similar names to trick people at a glance. If you’re paying someone new, don’t trust a name only because it “looks right” in a chat screenshot. Ask yourself, are there swapped letters, extra characters, or confusing punctuation?

Also pay attention to where you copy the name from. A domain typed by hand is still a string, and people can fake strings anywhere. If you’re paying a freelancer, it’s reasonable to ask them to confirm their domain from a second channel (for example, from the same name on their profile and in their invoice).

Used carefully, a Freename-powered onchain domain becomes a payment identifier you can share without fear of expiring renewals. That’s a big deal if you plan to use the same name for a long time.

Build a simple onchain identity people can trust

An onchain domain can be more than a payment name. It can be your public identity across apps, communities, and profiles. You’re not creating “yet another account,” you’re choosing a name that points back to something verifiable: your wallet ownership onchain.

This is where trust starts to form. People can’t always trust a display name on a social app, because anyone can change it, copy it, or impersonate it. With an onchain domain, someone can confirm who owns the name by checking the onchain record. It’s not a promise that you’re a good actor, but it does answer a practical question people care about: Does the same person control this identity today?

Think of it like a storefront sign with a deed attached. A random sign can be printed by anyone. A sign that’s tied to a public ownership record is harder to fake convincingly.

In practice, you can use a Kooky Domains name as a “one-name identity” across common touchpoints:

• Profiles and bios: Use the domain as your handle, so people know what to search for.
• Public links: Share one consistent name in community chats, event pages, and collabs.
• Verifiable ownership: When someone doubts it’s really you, you can point them to the onchain record that shows your wallet owns the domain.

This can also reduce a common Web3 headache: the “which wallet is yours?” problem. If you rotate wallets or manage separate wallets for different activities, your domain can be the stable label you keep consistent. You can update where it points (depending on the records and tools you use) while keeping the same public-facing identity.

A simple example makes this concrete.

Imagine you’re a freelance designer who gets work from a community. You use one name everywhere:

• Your domain is your main identity in your bio.
• You share that same name in a proposal message.
• The community admin can verify onchain that the domain is owned by the same wallet you use for payments.
• You keep using the same name across collabs, even if you change platforms.

Now compare that to the usual pattern, where your identity is scattered: one username on social, a different wallet address for payments, and a separate link hub that can break if you forget a renewal. A permanent onchain domain reduces that mess into one stable name.

There’s also a subtle trust boost when your identity is harder to “borrow.” If someone impersonates you, they can copy your avatar and your bio text, but they can’t take the domain you own in your wallet. If a sponsor or partner asks, “How do I know it’s you?” you can answer with a proof method that doesn’t depend on customer support, screenshots, or a platform’s verification badge.

A few practical tips keep this identity clean and believable:

• Keep one primary domain for your public presence. Too many names can confuse people.
• Be consistent with spelling across platforms. If your domain is your public name, match it in your display name when possible.
• Don’t overstuff it. A domain identity works best when it’s simple, readable, and easy to repeat.

Kooky Domains makes this approach natural because the domains are onchain, owned by Kooky and powered by Freename, with ownership that can be checked onchain. Once you have that base, you can build trust by using the same name in the same way, over and over.

Make your brand easier to find, remember, and share

Most brands don’t fail because the product is bad. They fail because people forget, mistype, or can’t find the right link. If your name is hard to spell, hard to say, or easy to confuse, you lose attention in tiny moments that add up.

A permanent onchain domain helps because it’s built for repetition. You say it once, share it once, and the goal is that people remember it the next time. If you’ve ever tried to grow a community, you know how often people ask for the link again. A clean name is like a shortcut in someone else’s head.

Brand benefits show up in three simple ways:

1) Shorter, cleaner sharing
When a name is short and readable, it travels better. People can type it from memory. They can share it in a voice chat without repeating it five times. They can put it on a banner, a profile, or a stream overlay without it looking like a random code.

2) Fewer typos and fewer lost clicks
Long strings and complex names invite mistakes. A good onchain domain is easy to copy, but it’s even better when it’s easy to type correctly. That reduces the “I sent it to the wrong place” and “I can’t find you” issues that waste time.

3) Long-term marketing without renewal budgeting
With rented domains, marketing has a hidden tax: you keep paying to hold the name. That’s not always expensive, but it’s a constant dependency. Cards expire. Email accounts change. Teams forget. When a domain is permanent onchain, you’re not building on a ticking renewal clock. That lets you treat the name like a durable asset, one that can stay consistent across campaigns, partners, and rebrands.

This permanence can change how you plan. If you run a community, you can print the name on merch without worrying that it might be lost later due to a billing problem. If you’re a creator, you can keep the same identity across platform shifts. If you’re building a tool, you can keep docs and references stable without wondering if your domain will be renewed on time.

A key point here is psychological. People trust what stays consistent. If your identity changes every few months, it feels less real. A permanent onchain domain encourages consistency because you’re not forced into constant admin work just to keep the name.

Choosing a name that won’t cause problems later

Name choice seems small until you live with it. A domain is something other people have to type, read, and say out loud. If you choose a name that creates friction, you’ll keep paying for that friction with every new follower or customer.

When you’re picking a Freename-powered onchain domain on Kooky Domains, aim for a name that does three jobs at once: it should be readable, repeatable, and hard to spoof.

A quick checklist that keeps you out of trouble:

• Make it easy to spell on the first try. If you have to explain it, it’s not doing its job.
• Avoid confusing characters. Names that rely on tricky letter swaps (like using a character that looks like another) are harder to read and easier to spoof.
• Keep it pronounceable. If people can say it, they can share it without copying.
• Prefer one clean word or a clear two-word combo. If you need separators to make it readable, consider whether the name is too busy.
• Don’t chase trends that age fast. If the name feels tied to a short-lived meme, ask yourself if you’ll still want it later.

Also consider where the name will appear. If it’s going on invoices, proposals, event pages, and profile headers, a clean name looks more professional. People make quick judgments, and your name is often the first thing they see.

If you’re building a brand that includes partners, mods, or employees, permanence also reduces operational risk. You don’t have to keep track of renewals across staff changes. You don’t have to worry that someone used a personal card that later gets canceled. With an onchain domain, control is about wallet ownership, and that ownership can be managed like any other onchain asset.

Web access basics: what works today and what needs extra steps

It’s tempting to buy an onchain domain and assume it works like a normal website address in every browser. That’s not always how it works today. Traditional domains use DNS, and browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox are built around that system. Many Web3 domains rely on different resolution methods, which means standard browsers may not resolve them by default.

So what can you do with a Freename-powered onchain domain right now, and where do you need extra setup?

What tends to work well today is using your domain for identity and payments. That’s because wallet apps and Web3-enabled tools can support name resolution inside their own ecosystem. If your main goal is getting paid, proving ownership, and using one name across communities, you can get a lot of value without touching web hosting at all.

What may take extra steps is using the domain as a website people can visit in a normal browser.

There are still good options, you just need the right expectations:

• Some people use gateways that translate a Web3 domain into a normal web link that standard browsers can open. This can be useful for sharing a “clickable” link with people who aren’t using Web3 tools.
• Some setups rely on browser extensions or special browsers that support Web3 name resolution.
• Some use custody-style services or hosted dashboards that help manage records and routing, which can simplify things for beginners, but you should read what you’re agreeing to and understand who controls what.

The honest takeaway is simple: web access is possible, but it depends on the toolchain. If someone tells you every browser resolves every onchain domain automatically, treat that as a red flag.

If you’re deciding what to do first, start with the uses that have the least friction:

1. Payments and receiving funds (when your wallet or app supports resolution)
2. A public identity you can prove onchain
3. A shared, stable brand name across profiles and communities
4. Web access only if you truly need a site right now

This order keeps you from getting stuck. Many people buy a name because they want a website, then they hit compatibility questions and lose momentum. If you focus on identity and payments first, you still get daily value from the domain while you figure out the web piece.

A practical approach is to treat your onchain domain like a “front door sign,” even before you build the full house. You can put the sign on your profiles, attach it to your payment identity, and let people verify it onchain. When you’re ready for web access, you can add the extra routing steps with less pressure, because the domain is already doing work for you.

Finally, keep your security posture consistent when you explore web access options. If a tool asks you to connect your wallet, ask yourself, is this the official service, and do I understand what I’m approving? A permanent onchain domain is valuable because it doesn’t expire, which also means it’s worth protecting like any other long-term asset.

Your first purchase, step by step, plus security rules you should not skip

Your first onchain domain purchase should feel calm and repeatable, not like a one-time stunt. With Kooky Domains, you’re buying a permanent onchain domain that’s owned by you (minted to your wallet), powered by Freename, and protected by the same rules that protect crypto assets. That’s empowering, but it also means your setup matters.

Use this section as your practical playbook. It’s the fastest way to buy with confidence, verify ownership onchain, and avoid the mistakes that cost beginners money or sleep.

Before you buy: a quick wallet and safety setup

Start with a clean setup you trust. Install a well-known wallet from the official source (not an ad, not a random app store clone). Then create a new wallet and write the recovery phrase on paper, stored offline somewhere private. Don’t screenshot it, don’t email it to yourself, and don’t put it in a notes app.

Enable a device lock (PIN, Face ID, fingerprint) and a strong wallet password. If you plan to buy more than one domain or treat this like a long-term identity, consider using a separate wallet just for domains, like a “vault.” It keeps your day-to-day wallet (where you click links and test apps) away from the wallet that holds your name.

Bookmark the correct Kooky Domains site and use that bookmark every time. Avoid clicking domain “deals” in DMs, comment threads, and pop-ups. If you wouldn’t hand your house keys to a stranger, don’t hand your wallet connection to one either.

Here’s the part people miss: your recovery phrase is the real key, not your password. Your password protects your device, but the recovery phrase can restore the wallet anywhere. If someone gets it, they can take your domain. If you lose it, nobody can “reset” it for you. If you had to recover your wallet tomorrow, would you know exactly where that phrase is?

How to choose a name you will not regret

Permanent ownership changes the pressure. With rented domains, you can drop a name later and move on. With a permanent onchain domain, you can still transfer or sell it, but most people want a name they’ll happily keep using for a long time. You’re building recognition, and recognition likes consistency.

Begin with simple rules that make your name easy to share:

Keep it short and spellable. If you have to explain it twice, it’s probably not the one. Avoid doubled letters and tricky spelling, because people misread them in chats and bios. Also say it out loud a few times. If it sounds awkward, it will feel awkward when you tell someone in a call.

Watch for confusion traps. A name like “mattshop” is clear. A name like “matttshop” looks similar, but it’s a typo waiting to happen. Same with “cozycoins” versus “cozyco1ns,” even if it seems clever, it invites mistakes and distrust.

Don’t borrow risk from someone else’s brand. Avoid names that look like a trademark, a public figure, or a company you don’t own. Even if you can mint it, it can turn into a headache when you try to use it publicly.

Pick a name that fits how you’ll use it. If it’s for payments, clarity beats creativity. If it’s for identity, choose something you’ll feel good putting in every bio.

Checkout, mint, and verify you own it (the proof steps)

The buying flow is simple, but you should treat each click like signing a contract. On Kooky Domains, you’ll connect your wallet, choose the chain you want to mint on, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Before you approve, double-check the network shown in the wallet prompt matches what you chose. Many failed purchases are just “right domain, wrong chain.”

When you click confirm, you’re approving an onchain transaction. Then you wait for confirmation. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes it takes a few minutes depending on the network and traffic.

After it confirms, verify ownership using proof you can trust:

1. Check your wallet: Many wallets show collectibles or NFTs. Your domain should appear there (or in the connected gallery view).
2. Check the transaction: Open the transaction link and confirm it shows as successful.
3. Check the owner address: On the block explorer, find the token’s owner or holder field and confirm it matches your wallet address.

If it doesn’t show up right away, don’t panic and don’t re-buy. Refresh the Kooky Domains page, close and re-open your wallet, and confirm you’re on the correct network. If you have the transaction hash, check its status on the explorer. If it’s still pending, you wait. If it failed, you keep the receipt and re-try only after you understand why (often network mismatch or not enough gas).

Set it up after purchase: links, profiles, and where to use it first

Right after purchase, your goal is to make the domain useful, not perfect. Start by adding a simple profile link, like a personal site, portfolio, link hub, or community page, whatever you want people to see first. If your setup supports payment details (like mapping addresses), add those carefully and double-check them. One wrong character defeats the whole point.

Then test your domain in one place before you post it everywhere. Pick a single app you trust, like a wallet that supports name display, or one social profile, and confirm the name shows up the way you expect. This is the same idea as testing a microphone before a live event.

A simple launch plan keeps you moving without creating confusion:

1. Update one social bio with the domain and keep your old link for a short period.
2. Share it with a few close friends and ask them to repeat it back to you (you’ll catch spelling issues fast).
3. Use it publicly once you’ve seen it work in the place that matters most, like payments or your main profile.

The win is consistency. Once people learn your name, you want them to find the same name everywhere.

Common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them

Most problems come from rushing. Fix that, and you avoid almost everything.

Losing the recovery phrase is the biggest one. Prevent it by writing it down offline, storing it in a safe place, and making a second copy stored separately. Don’t store it as a photo. Don’t share it with “support.” Real support will never ask.

Buying a look-alike name by mistake happens when you shop tired or chase a name that’s too complex. Say it out loud, read it slowly, and look for doubled letters. If it’s meant for payments, choose boring clarity over clever spelling.

Signing bad approvals is how people lose assets without realizing it. Read wallet prompts. If something asks for broad access, slow down and cancel. When in doubt, don’t sign, and go back to the bookmarked site.

Sending the domain to the wrong address or wrong chain is painful and common. Always copy addresses from your own wallet, verify the first and last characters, and do a small test transfer when moving valuable assets. Keep chain selection consistent, and label your wallets so you don’t mix them up.

Using public Wi-Fi adds risk, especially for purchases and transfers. If you must use it, avoid making transactions, and use a trusted connection later. Your domain is permanent, so treat the setup like installing a new lock on your front door.

Trusting fake support is a classic trap. Scammers will DM you first, act urgent, and ask for your phrase or for you to “verify” in a link. Ignore them, use official channels you can reach from the real site, and never hand over secrets.

Careful setup prevents most problems. Once you do this once, the next purchase feels simple, because you’re following rules that actually protect you.

Conclusion

Freename-powered domains on Kooky Domains fix a simple problem: you shouldn’t have to rent your name forever. You mint a domain onchain, it lands in your wallet, and ownership is public and verifiable. That’s real ownership, not a login you can lose when a card expires or a renewal gets missed.

The wins stack up fast. No renewals means your name can stay the same for years, which is the whole point of identity. A readable domain also makes payments and sharing easier in wallets and apps that support resolution, and it gives people a clean way to verify it’s really you when trust matters.

If you want the simplest next step, pick one clear name you’ll use everywhere, buy it on Kooky Domains (all onchain, owned by Kooky and powered by Freename), mint it to your wallet, then verify the owner address on a block explorer. After that, use the domain as your public Web3 handle in your bio and profiles, and start treating it like a long-term asset.

Keep one rule in mind: protect the wallet like it holds your identity, because it does. Write your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and test your setup with a small transaction or a single profile update before you post the name across every channel.
