About INS

The permanent name service for Igra

INS gives every wallet, contract and community on the Igra Network a human-readable identity. Pay once in native iKAS, own forever. No renewals, no squatters’ auctions, no rent-seeking.

INS — Igra Name Service overview: sample igra.ins NFT and tiered iKAS pricing

Forever names

No expiry. The registry has no renewal function — ever.

On-chain art

Every .ins is a Base64 SVG NFT. No IPFS pins, no dead links.

Multisig-owned

Admin surface sits behind an Igra Safe multisig.

Why forever?

ENS charges annual rent and auctions names after a grace period — names can expire and you can lose your identity. KNS on Kaspa inscribes names as Kasplex L1 tokens, permanent but L1-only and not natively composable with EVM dApps.

INS takes the best of both: pay once in native iKAS, own forever, and plug straight into every Igra EVM contract. The registry does not implement an expiry function. Once you hold the NFT, it’s yours until you choose to sell it.

How the pricing works

Tiered iKAS pricing, baked into the contract. Shorter names are rarer, so they cost more. The fee stream funds the treasury Safe — future governance decides how it gets spent.

Frontend

Next.js 15 · React 19 · wagmi 2 + RainbowKit 2 · viem 2. Kaspa-native wallets (KasWare, Kastle) sit first-class alongside MetaMask, Rabby and WalletConnect.

Chain

Igra Network (chain 38833) · EVM L2 secured by Kaspa BlockDAG. Native gas token is iKAS, same as the registration currency.

Roadmap

  1. Mainnet launch
    Registry + Resolver live on Igra, on-chain SVG art, Safe-owned admin surface.
  2. Kaspa-native wallets
    KasWare + Kastle first-class alongside MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect.
  3. ·
    Reverse resolution
    primaryName(address) so block explorers, bots and dApps can render .ins next to addresses.
  4. ·
    Secondary marketplace
    Fixed-price + auctions with a protocol fee on every trade, funding the treasury.
  5. ·
    Subnames
    Zero-cost subdomains — alice.ins can mint pay.alice.ins, vault.alice.ins, etc.
  6. ·
    DAO handover
    Governance takes the Safe keys; the team burns its own signer.
