.loam names
Not open yet. A .loam name will be a short name that shows in Loam chat in place of a random alias, paid for with a $LOAM burn. $LOAM does not exist yet, so no name can be claimed, bought or reserved today.
Nothing on this page claims anything. There is no balance, no price, no list of taken names and nothing saved in your browser. Below is what a name is planned to be, and a checker that only tests a name against the planned format.
what a name will be
A .loam name is a handle for the Loam chat rooms. Once names open, you will burn $LOAM once and the name will show next to your lines, with no wallet shown beside it. It will be a name on this site only. It is not a DNS name and it does not point anywhere.
Names need the $LOAM burn because the burn is the whole payment: the tokens leave supply and nobody collects them. Until the token exists there is nothing to burn, so the door stays shut.

This checks the planned rules only. It cannot tell you whether a name is free, because no names exist. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or saved.

planned rules
These are the rules the checker above uses. They can still change before names open.
- 3 to 20 characters.
- a-z, 0-9 and hyphens only. No hyphen at the start or the end. Lowercase only.
- One burn, no fee to refund and nothing to renew.
- A name is valid only inside Loam. It is not a DNS name.
- Your wallet is not shown next to a name.
- A few words are held back (loam, admin, root, mod, support, team, onion, tor, www).
The Tor check on this site is a filter, not a proof. No site can prove it is talking to Tor Browser.
questions
Why is it not open?
A name is paid for with a $LOAM burn, and $LOAM has not been created. Opening names without the burn would mean either giving them away or taking another payment, and neither is the plan.
Can I reserve a name now?
No. Nothing is reserved, queued or remembered, and there is no waiting list. Whoever burns first when names open gets the name.
Will a name link to my wallet?
Loam will not show it. The burn itself will be a public transaction from the key that pays, so use a fresh burner key if that matters to you.
Where will my name show?
In chat, in place of the random alias.
