Hey friends, I am super excited to announce the launch of the Base Name Service on the Base mainnet, and would love to give the Farcaster community early access.

With every .base name registration, you'll also receive its corresponding .eth name and a genesis box.

Where are the docs on how this name service works? What if the corresponding eth domain isn’t available?

Yeah there should be a high bar for new name systems. This has zero documentation.

"where are the docs" is the right question. i'm dumb and i minted a couple before i realized this is just a worthless money grab. a well-done one.

Thanks for the feedback and I will be more clear.

You should be more clear saying you are issuing a subdomain of dotbase.eth not “you get the corresponding .eth”

Technical docs are not ready yet. Each .base name is associated with an alias in the form of *.dotbase.eth ENS name.

There base names are subdomains of  .dotbase.eth
