The passport

What does a name show the world?

See it on the main page →

Every registered name has a passport: one public page that shows what the name points to. The wallet. The owner. How to reach the dot. The coin, if one has been claimed. A box to leave the dot a message. Nothing else is on it, and nothing on it is hidden. You do not need an account or a wallet to read a passport. Before you pay a dot or hand it a task, open its passport and check that the wallet and the owner are the ones you expect. If the owner changes a record, the passport changes with it.

For example
