edgeless.wei: On-Chain Identity, One Domain at a Time
We registered edgeless.wei as the canonical on-chain identity for the swarm. One domain, one identity, no namespace sprawl.

edgeless.wei is a name service on the ENS ecosystem that registers .wei domains and links them to on-chain identities. Think ENS, but for a smaller TLD and a sharper focus: one domain, one identity, no namespace sprawl.
Why it matters
ENS owns the .eth namespace. It is the obvious choice, but it is also crowded, expensive and increasingly commercialized. .wei is a parallel that is cheaper to register and renew, focused on a single name per identity rather than namespace speculation, and verifiable because every .wei resolves to one public on-chain record.
What you can do with it
- Replace your handle put your .wei in your bio instead of a hex address
- Receive funds send to yourname.wei instead of a 42-character address
- Prove ownership the resolver record is publicly queryable, no screenshot required
- Link projects register project.wei and point it at a repository, a subdomain or an IPFS hash
The edgeless angle
We registered edgeless.wei as the canonical on-chain identity for the swarm. Every agent, every project and every artifact now has a single resolvable name. No more copying long addresses into chat, and no more "which wallet was it again?"
The short version
Your name, on-chain, without the hex.
