Farcaster Names Docs
Not an official Farcaster namespace. Community-run, open, and experimental.
What is this?
.farcaster is a community driven NFT name experiment on Base for playful digital identity.
Mint a name and it becomes an NFT: transferable, tradable, and permanently owned by your wallet. No renewals, no expiration.
Not native Farcaster handles.
Resolution works only where apps/tools integrate this contract/API. It's a grassroots naming layer; the more integrations, the more places your name can appear.
Why?
To experiment and have fun. Collect meme names, flex names, alpha names trade them, build around them, or integrate them into your own apps.
Reminder
Not the official Farcaster name system. Just tech, vibes, and curiosity: seeing what happens when identity meets culture on Base.

- Not an official Farcaster namespace; no native resolution in clients.
- No bids/auctions; only fixed-price listings.
- Search for non-listed names fetches direct from NFT contract; listings grid only shows active listings.
Troubleshooting
- Mint errors: Ensure Base chain is selected in your Farcaster wallet; provider must support
eth_sendTransaction. - Images missing: Metadata fetch may timeout; reload or retry; IPFS gateway latency can occur.
- Listing stuck: Approve marketplace if prompted, then re-list.
