Q1: How to deal with the name of ICP for the users who already registered?
A1：Don’t worry, your ICP name is still reserved. There’s no need to concern that the name will be taking back. Because our service is totally decentralized, which means that the name belongs to you completely. We will continue to provide ICP name services. However, ICP name can’t be renewed, which means that when the service expires, your ICP name can no longer be used.
Q2: How can I get a new IC name?
A2: In most cases, users who held the ICP name will automatically receive the airdrop of ‘.ic’ name. The IC name will be consistent with the ICP name.
For example, if you have previously registered “myname.icp” for one year, you will get “myname.ic” through airdrop and have a one-year service in return. At the same time, the “myname.icp” can’t be renewed, and after one-year service, it is going to be expired and will not longer be in service.
But there are some exceptions. In very few cases, you will not automatically receive the airdrop of ‘.ic’ name. It is not unreasonable. IC naming will cooperate and integrate with more and more projects in the future. We need to protect the rights of the projects to improve the possibility of future cooperation. We hope to make IC Naming the most popular and widely adopted Web3 platform in the world.
Therefore, we need to protect the names of those well-known public projects for a better development in the future.
Q3: If I don’t automatically receive the airdrop of ‘.ic’name, what will I get?
A3: If you didn’t receive the airdrop of ‘.ic’ name, congratulations, you will get a much better airdrop reward. We will offer you 10 times the number of ‘.ic’ names that you didn’t get from the airdrop and the rewarding quota is going to be one chars shorter.
For example, if you didn’t receive the airdrop of a 7-chars ICP name, you will get ten 6-digit ‘.ic’ names as reward. Congratulations to those users, this is an enviable reward.
Q4: After the new version officially launched, will the supporting wallet change?
A4: ICNaming will not support II wallet anymore. There will be a page where users can transfer the names in their II wallet to other wallets such as plug, stoic, astrox me, etc.
