What you can do

Your handle is the starting point. Here’s everything you can do with it — use as much or as little as you like.

​
Receive on any chain

Point @you at your addresses on X1, Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. When someone sends to @you, their wallet looks up the correct address for the chain they’re paying from — no more copy-pasting a string. You hand out one name; it works everywhere you hold funds.
Your home chain. @you resolves to your X1 address so anyone can pay you on X1 by name.
You choose which chains to add — one or all four. Add more later at any time; your handle stays the same.
Every handle comes with a QR code and a shareable payment link, so people can pay @you by scanning or tapping instead of copying an address. Show the QR in person, or drop the link in a bio, a message, or an invoice.

Get paid to your handle

See how the QR code and payment link work, and where they shine — creators, merchants, and splitting bills with friends.

​
Be shown as @you everywhere

Set @you as your primary name and apps that support X1ID display your wallet as @you instead of a long address — in transaction histories, profiles, and anywhere your wallet appears. It’s the difference between being 7Np1jK…pQ4mZ and being a name people recognize.

​
Build a web3 profile

Behind your handle sits a profile you control:

Avatar & display

A picture and details that make @you recognizable at a glance.

Website & socials

Link your site and social accounts so people can find the real you.

Decentralized site

Attach a link to your decentralized website, tied to your handle.

All in one place

Everything lives under @you, so your identity travels with your name.

​
Subnames

One handle can branch into purpose-built names — pay.you, docs.you, shop.you — all under the handle you already own, at no extra registration fee. Each one can carry its own addresses, so you can keep your money and your projects neatly separated under a single identity.

Separate your money

Give out pay.you for payments and keep @you for your identity, so a public payment name never exposes your main wallet.

Organize a project

docs.you, app.you, shop.you — one name per purpose, all clearly yours.

Onboard a team

Hand teammates or departments their own subname without giving up control of the parent.

​
Prove it’s really you

Anyone can claim to be @you. Verification lets you prove it — two ways:

Verified addresses

Prove you control each address on your handle and it shows as verified. Senders can tell a confirmed address from an unproven one before they send a single coin.

Sign in with X1ID

Use your handle to sign in to apps that support it. Instead of a password, you prove ownership of @you — a login that is your identity, and that a copycat can’t fake.
Verified records are the ones others should trust. An unverified address is shown as unverified so no one mistakes an unproven claim for a confirmed one — honesty is built in, not bolted on.

​
Own it permanently

You register a handle once and it’s yours to keep. There’s no renewal to remember and no expiry date that could hand your name to a stranger. This is a deliberate choice: a name people send money to must never quietly change owners because a payment was missed. See Fees for how one-time pricing works.

​
A safety net

Losing access to a wallet is the nightmare scenario in crypto. X1ID gives you two tools for it:
Set up a recovery option in advance, and if you lose access to your wallet you can take your handle back. It’s your insurance policy against a lost or inaccessible key — set it up while everything is fine, so it’s there when you need it.
If you think your key might be compromised, lock your handle. A lock freezes it — ownership, records, and profile — so a thief can’t move it or redirect your addresses while you sort things out. Unlocking has a built-in waiting period, so an attacker can’t simply lock and immediately steal.

​
Gift a handle

You can pre-pay a handle for someone else — a great way to bring a friend onto X1 who doesn’t hold any XNT yet. You cover the registration up front; they claim the name with zero funds of their own.
1

Pick a name and pre-pay it

Choose the handle you want to give and pay its registration fee up front. The amount is set aside for that specific name.
2

Send the gift

Send it to a friend to claim. You can tie the gift to a specific wallet so the handle lands there no matter who opens it.
3

They claim it — free to them

Your friend claims the handle without paying or holding any XNT. It becomes theirs, fully owned, from that moment.
A gift is set aside for the name you chose, and it has an expiry. If it’s never claimed, the amount you pre-paid comes back to you — you’re not out anything for an unclaimed gift.

​
Buy and sell handles

X1ID has a built-in marketplace at app.x1id.io/marketplace — no third-party site needed. Handles change hands right inside X1ID, so a sale is as safe and final as any on-chain payment.
List a handle you own at a fixed price. When someone buys it, ownership transfers to them and the proceeds come to you, minus the marketplace fee.
Premium and reserved names — short names, brands, and well-known words — are released through the marketplace rather than by ordinary registration. A 2% fee applies to sales; details are on Fees.
Prefer to trade your handle like a collectible? You can optionally turn it into an NFT, which lets you sell it on standard NFT marketplaces too. It’s entirely opt-in — most holders never need it — and it’s a one-way step, so only do it if you specifically want that. See the FAQ.
