Managing Names

If you just claimed a name and it does not resolve in a wallet yet, that is expected.

Your registration can be real even while wallet integrations are still being rolled out. Once the claim confirms and the indexer sees it:

• the name exists
• the matching zcash.me profile exists
• you can manage the name

What is not live yet is in-wallet resolution.

The actions you will see

List, Delist, and Buy belong to the marketplace flow and are covered in Buying & Selling. This page focuses on Update and Release.

Update

Use Update when you want the name to point to a different unified address.

1. Search for the name you own.
2. Click Update Address.
3. Complete OTP verification against the current registered address.
4. Enter the new unified address.
5. Send the transaction.

After the transaction confirms and the indexer processes it, the name resolves to the new address.

Release

Use Release only if you want to give the name back completely.

1. Search for the name you own.
2. Click Release.
3. Complete OTP verification.
4. Confirm the action.
5. Send the transaction.

After release, the name becomes available for anyone to claim.

Why OTP is involved

ZNS has no username-password account system. Management actions need proof that you still control the address currently attached to the name.

That is what OTP Verification provides.

Things to keep in mind

• Update proves control of the current address, not the new one.
• each management action consumes a nonce
• a name points to exactly one unified address at a time
• Release is irreversible once confirmed
