Whitelist and .Base Domain Launch Schedule

All users who create .base domains on the Base testnet will be automatically whitelisted on the mainnet and will have a 2-hour early access window to create rare .base domains before they are open to the public.

Any .base domains created on the testnet will not be transferred to the mainnet. Everyone on the whitelist will have the opportunity to quickly mint their rare and personalized .base domains!

The whitelist registration window will close on August 8th at 3:00 PM UTC // 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

.Base Domain Rarity and Utility

The rarity of .base domains depends on their uniqueness, desirability, and limited supply. Generally, the fewer characters, the rarer the .base name.

Simple characters, single emoticons, and clever .base names will be the most rare and popular. Use a memorable signature .base name to make waves in your web3 identity.

Examples of rare .base names:

• Single emoticons: .base and .base

• Single characters: A.base, Z.base & 2.base

• Combination of emoticons and characters: AZ.base, 22.base, and .base

• Names: vitalik.base, ETH.base, and example.base

• Brands: fame.base, cola.base, and .base
