💓Mint names

The syntax below applies to all DNS namespaces, for example .doge .oifi .dogim and so on, plus all future namespaces. New names can be minted (inscribed for the first time) as doginals with only a Dogecoin transaction. This process is open to anyone that can inscribe.

Registering names

Simple registration

To register a new name within the Doge Name System simply inscribe an doginals containing your desired name.

yourname.doge

Advanced registration

Advanced registration allows users to add additional data to a name using JSON5 syntax. The format is optional for registration.

{ 
  "p": "dns",
  "op": "reg",
  "name": "jared.doge"
}

Here is an example of inscribing DNS

Key	Required?	Expected	Description
p	Yes	dns	Helps indexers identify the DNS protocol
op	Yes	reg	Tells indexers this is a new name
name	Yes	DNS name	Name: Your desired name. Including .doge, or another namespace, is required.
avatar	No	Inscription ID	Avatar or profile pic. Specify with inscription ID.
rev	No	Dogcoin address	Reverse resolution: doge the Dogcoin address for this name.
relay	No	Inscription ID	Tells indexers this DNS name is a pointer, or relay, to another inscription. Specify with inscription ID.

Reverse resolution, avatar, and relay are experimental features and will need to be adopted by explorers and apps.

⚠️ Registration limitations

These rules apply to all namespaces and names:

• Only the first instance of each name/namespace is valid.

• Only one name operation per ordinal inscription.

• Any UTF-8 character is valid.

• Capitalization does not matter. All names/namespaces will be indexed as lowercase.

• No spaces are permitted within a name.
