// FAQ
How do you rank web3 naming providers?
On documented facts and weighted scores (Own your name on ENS, Handshake and other naming systems.). We separate verified facts from vendor claims and flag scams and dead operators.
What should I check before paying?
The minimum purchase, the payout terms and threshold, who holds the asset, and whether there is independent proof (on-chain payouts, pool workers, attestation). Start small and test withdrawals first.
