Every extension that trades in six figures today was new once. Basenames opened in August 2024, which makes this the earliest any of the four namespaces on HandleX can still be entered.
Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network. A name on it is held at an address and moves by transaction, so a sale completes the same way an ENS sale does rather than resting on a promise.
Poker.club sold for $90,000 in 2014, the year .club launched. Casino.club reached $201,250 five years in. Super.xyz took $287,000 on an extension that did not exist before 2014.
.ai domains took 20 of the 100 biggest domain sales of 2024, at an average resale of $6,525 — on an extension that barely traded a decade earlier.
There is no price history for Base names of the kind .com has. Anyone quoting you an expected return for one is inventing it.
A name on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network. It is held on-chain at an address and can be used in place of that address, so people send to a name rather than to a long string of characters.
Yes. A Base name is held on-chain, so it transfers by signed transaction between two addresses — the same mechanism that makes ENS names tradeable. HandleX lists names that holders have put up for sale and connects you to them directly.
There is no long price history for Basenames, and anyone who quotes you one is guessing. What can be said is what comparable young extensions did: Poker.club sold for $90,000 in .club’s launch year, Super.xyz for $287,000, and .ai took 20 of the 100 biggest domain sales of 2024 at an average resale of $6,525.
Basenames opened in August 2024, which makes it the youngest of the four namespaces listed on HandleX. Whether the name you want is still free is a question the network answers, not us — but the pattern across every namespace on record is that the short, obvious names go before most people are watching.
Length above everything: there are only 46,656 possible three-character names and over two billion six-character ones. After that, whether it is a real word, whether it names a category rather than a product, and whether someone would type it without being told to.
No. HandleX is an independent marketplace operated by Omucloud, not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Base, Coinbase or any other network whose names are listed here.
