A new kind of internet address that is truly yours, forever. Every username you have is borrowed. Change platforms, break a rule, or watch a company shut down — and the name goes with it. Nacho handles work differently. You buy a name once, and it's yours. Point it at your payment details, your keys, your site — change them whenever you like, and the name never changes. ONE NAME FOR EVERYTHING - Your socials, your site and getting paid, all behind one handle - Link Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, X, Instagram, Bluesky, GitHub and more - Change what it points at any time — the name stays the same OWNERSHIP, NOT RENTAL - One payment. No subscription, no renewal, no expiry - Can't be closed or taken down. Not even by us - No account, no password, no email LOOK ANYONE UP - Type a handle to see everything its owner has published - Every result is verified on your phone, not by a company - Pay someone directly from their handle Ownership is anchored on-chain, so no company can revoke it.
