MoonCat ENS Domains FAQ

Each MoonCat can claim ENS domains that use are that MoonCat&rsqup;s rescue order and Hex ID as subdomains on the ismymooncat.eth domain!

For example, the wallet holding MoonCat #84 can claim the domain 84.ismymooncat.eth and0xff00000ca7.ismymooncat.eth. Once claimed, in supported applications (including MetaMask and Etherscan) anyone can use either of those domain names rather than the owner’s full Ethereum wallet address.

Think of it like a website URL for the Ethereum blockchain! It maps a human-readable name to machine-readable identifier such as your ETH wallet. You can read more about the Ethereum Name Service on their website.

You bet! Wallets and websites that recognize ENS names should detect this new one pointing at your wallet once you announce it. The only difference between this and a standard ENS name is it is locked to only be able to point to the address that holds a specific MoonCat.

If you own an Acclimated MoonCat, you can claim their unique ETH domain name! If your MoonCat is not yet in the official Acclimated wrapper, you can wrap it quickly here for free (just pay gas): MoonCat Acclimator

Even if you’re a late acclimator, your MoonCat’s ENS Domain is free, so you can wrap today, and immediately get your new domain!

Head to the MoonCat ENS Domain dashboard, connect your wallet, select which MoonCat addresses you want to claim, and click the “Announce” button. It’s free (just pay gas)

For the 96 Genesis MoonCats, you’re the pick of the litter, and your ismymooncat.eth domains have been activated already by the MoonCat​Rescue team (provided it is acclimated). If it was not Acclimated, when you do, you will just have to announce it.

The first time a MoonCat goes through the process, you’ll be adding that MoonCat’s ID numbers to the registry, similar to registering a .com domain! Once claimed, it will point to the address affiliated with that MoonCat.

Absolutely! Head to the MoonCat ENS Domain dashboard and connect your wallet. As the new owner, you’ll be able to trigger an updated “announcement” (a lighter-gas action than the original “claiming”) to just update the existing record to the new owner.

Announcing is a fancy way of saying you’re claiming an .eth domain! Right now, you can claim your ismymooncat.eth and use it for a wallet — in the neat future, we’ll also be allowing you to add text data to your ismymooncat.eth domain, so you can further customize your MoonCat’s domain! After the first announcement, subsequent announcements (if the MoonCat changes wallets) require much less gas to submit.
