Aptos Names review
Aptos Names turns Aptos addresses into resolvable .apt names, with length-based pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Aptos Names is a name service for replacing lengthy Aptos wallet addresses with human-readable .apt names. It suits Aptos users who want a recognizable identity that resolves to an Aptos account address, whether for personal use or applications. Names can be set as primary identities, and the service supports subdomains as well as wallet-connected transactions. Its scope is deliberately tied to Aptos rather than a wider set of blockchains.
The service offers registration for names between 3 and 63 characters, with one-year registration and renewal. According to the published pricing, a 3-character name costs 20 APT, a 4-character name 10 APT, a 5-character name 5 APT, and a name of 6 or more characters 1 APT per name. Renewal tiers are similar to new-registration pricing. This length-based structure makes shorter names more expensive, while longer names start at 1 APT. Buyers should account for APT-denominated costs and annual renewal when choosing a name.
For developers, Aptos Names provides a TypeScript SDK for name and address operations and a REST API for name/address lookups. The website supports Aptos mainnet and testnet views and transactions. These interfaces make it relevant to projects that need to resolve names or manage them within Aptos applications, while users seeking resolution across multiple chains should look elsewhere. Documentation is the listed support channel, so the product is a better fit for people comfortable working from docs than buyers who need a broader support setup. Choose it for Aptos-focused naming, primary identities, and subdomains; avoid it if multi-chain coverage is central.
