Pay once, own forever — no renewals. How X1ID pricing works: one-time registration priced by name length, an optional NFT fee, and a 2% marketplace fee on sales.
X1ID is designed to be simple: you pay once and own your handle forever. There are no renewals, no subscriptions, and no expiry dates. Here’s the full picture.
One payment, priced by length — see the live numbers at x1id.io/pricing.
Registering a handle is a single, one-time payment in XNT (X1’s native token). After that, the handle is yours to keep — you never pay again to hold it.
Because there’s no renewal, your handle can’t lapse and can’t be snatched by someone else because you missed a payment. That permanence is the whole point of a name people send money to.
Shorter names cost more. A one- or two-character handle is rare and premium; longer, everyday names are inexpensive.
Every length has its own price, and the longest names share the lowest tier.
Exact prices are set on-chain and are shown to you in the app before you confirm, so you always see the cost up front.

Prices are quoted in XNT and can shift over time, so we don’t print fixed numbers here. Check the live pricing curve at x1id.io/pricing for the current cost at every length.
Some names aren’t available for ordinary registration — short names, brands, tickers, and well-known words were set aside at launch. These reach new owners through the marketplace (a listing or an auction) rather than by direct registration. If a premium name is what you want, look for it on app.x1id.io/marketplace.
When a handle is sold on the X1ID marketplace, a 2% fee applies to the sale. If you’re just registering and holding your own handle, this never touches you — it only applies when handles change hands through a sale.
Turning your handle into an NFT is entirely optional and carries its own separate one-time fee (also priced by length, and smaller than registration). Most holders never need this — it exists for people who specifically want to trade their handle on standard NFT marketplaces. If you never mint, you never pay it. See the FAQ for what tokenizing does.
