Renewals

Stargaze Names require periodic renewal to maintain ownership.

Why Renewals?

Renewals serve important purposes:

  • Keeps the namespace active

  • Prevents indefinite squatting

  • Gives others a chance at abandoned names

  • Encourages engaged ownership

Renewal Period

Names are registered for:

  • Minimum: 1 year

  • Maximum: 5 years

You can renew at any time to extend your registration.

How to Renew

Before Expiration

  1. Go to your name's page (or your profile)

  2. Click Renew

  3. Select additional years (1-5)

  4. Pay the renewal fee

  5. Confirm the transaction

Your expiration date extends by the selected duration.

Grace Period

If your name expires:

  • 30-day grace period - Only you can renew

  • Same renewal price

  • Name still resolves to your address

  • Cannot be registered by others yet

After Grace Period

If not renewed within 30 days:

  • Name becomes available

  • Anyone can register it
