How buying a domain works

Buy now, make an offer, bid, or lease to own - your money is held in escrow until the domain is yours.

Every purchase goes through escrow: you pay USDC on Polygon into the escrow contract, the seller transfers the domain, and the seller is only paid after the domain reaches you.

Ways to buy

• Buy now - pay the listed price.
• Make an offer - the seller can accept, decline or counter. Each offer stays open 72 hours; a negotiation can go back and forth up to 8 rounds.
• Auction - bid at least the next increment. A bid in the last 5 minutes extends the auction, so there is always time to respond.
• Lease to own - pay a down payment and monthly installments; the domain transfers when the last one is paid.

After you pay

1. The seller has 5 days to start the transfer.
2. You follow the steps on your order page (accept the push, or use the authorization code at your registrar).
3. When the domain shows in your registrar account, confirm receipt. The seller is paid then.
4. Unpaid orders are cancelled after 72 hours and the domain goes back on sale.
