How dead to.ke Registration Works
Name Search and Availability
The registration flow begins with a search interface that checks availability in real time. Users enter preferred strings and receive instant feedback on eligibility.
Pricing and Commitment Term
Pricing varies by length, popularity, and registration period. Transparent breakdowns show base cost, registration duration, and any applicable discounts before confirmation.
Wallet Binding and Records
During setup, users link their name to one or more wallet addresses. Additional records, such as transaction endpoints or metadata, can be added according to supported standards.
Final Confirmation and Onchain Transaction
Once details are verified, a final transaction writes the registration onchain. After confirmation, the name becomes active and discoverable through resolution services.
Managing Your dead to.ke Profile
Profile Overview
The profile dashboard displays all registered names, binding details, timestamps, and associated metadata. This view serves as a centralized location for status monitoring.
Update and Renewal Controls
Users can update resolver settings, add new records, or extend expiration dates through an intuitive control panel. Automated reminders help avoid accidental lapses.
Security and Access Management
Role based permissions, session timeouts, and activity logs protect against unauthorized changes. Integration with hardware wallets adds an extra layer of security for critical updates.
Integrations and Developer Experience
Resolver Configuration
Developers can configure DNS style resolvers to map names to service endpoints, content hashes, or application specific data structures.
SDKs and API Coverage
Official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript simplify name lookup, registration, and record management in diverse environments.
Cross Platform Compatibility
The system supports standard resolution protocols, ensuring compatibility across wallets, explorers, and decentralized applications.
FAQ
What chains are supported by dead to.ke names?
dead to.ke currently supports major Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, allowing a single name to resolve to addresses across multiple chains.
Can I transfer or sell my registered name?
Yes, names can be transferred to another controller or listed on supported marketplaces, subject to platform policies and transaction fees.
How long does a registration remain active?
