Name cost calculator

ReddID is ReddCoin’s social identity layer. Names are intentionally priced to balance:

  • affordability
  • anti-squatting incentives
  • real-world value anchoring

Official calculator (hosted)

“Logic” summary (builder-ready)

  • Prices are scenario-plannable using adjustable BTC/RDD assumptions.
  • Names are intended to be case-insensitive.
  • Some character choices affect cost:
  • vowels can cost more
  • underscores/symbols can reduce cost
Deep dive: where fees go As discussed publicly, fees are designed to flow back to the network (e.g., via staking rewards), aligning the identity system with community security incentives.

Next steps for builders

  • Read the ReddID Architecture Spec (Builders → ReddID → Technical architecture)
  • Review Namespaces and schema pages for storage/integration assumptions
