How to Get Your .stark Domain: Simplify Your Starknet Identity Today

Tired of dealing with long, complicated wallet addresses on Starknet? Getting a .stark domain lets you trade that jumble of letters and numbers for a simple, human-readable name. This not only helps prevent transaction errors but also gives you a single, clean identity that works across the entire ecosystem.

Your decentralized identity on Starknet.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

• A Starknet wallet with enough funds to cover the registration fee
• A connection to the Starknet mainnet
• An available .stark name you want to register (must be 3+ alphanumeric characters)

Step 1: Register Your .stark Name

1. Go to https://starknet.id.
2. Connect your Starknet wallet.
3. Search for the name you want.
4. Choose how long you want to register it for (from 1 to 25 years).
5. Finalize the transaction to claim your name.

Quick check: You should now see your new .stark name in your wallet's domains section.

Step 2: Configure Your Identity Profile

1. Go to your Starknet ID dashboard.
2. Link your wallet address to your new .stark name.
3. You can also add social media profiles or an ENS domain to fill out your profile.
4. Set your .stark name as your primary ID.

To verify: Your .stark name should now automatically point to your wallet address.

Simple names make complex addresses a thing of the past.

Step 3: Test Cross-Platform Compatibility

1. Open a few different dApps on Starknet.
2. Try using your .stark name instead of your full wallet address.
3. Check that each dApp recognizes your name.
4. Make a small test transaction using your .stark name to be sure.

Success! Any tool that accepts Starknet addresses should now work with your StarknetID.

Step 4: Implement Developer Integration (Optional)

If you're building on Starknet:

1. Install the official Starknet ID SDK for your preferred language (JavaScript, Rust, Go, or React).
2. Add name resolution to your dApp's address input fields.
3. Test to ensure it handles both .stark names and full address inputs.

Important Note: These steps are for the Starknet mainnet. You'll need to register a separate name for testnet use.

Your New Starknet Identity

Your new .stark name is now your universal key to the Starknet ecosystem. It makes every interaction smoother, from logging into dApps to sending transactions. With a growing number of developers building compatible tools and incredibly low median transaction fees, having a memorable name makes navigating Starknet easier than ever.
