What should a crypto project know before buying defensive domains?

Wardmint registers the defensive domains a crypto project needs: its own name across the extensions phishers use, and its own typo and look-alike variants. It sells registrations. It does not sell monitoring or takedown services.

Up to 50 names: we offer bulk search of up to 50 names at once, then one cart and one payment for all of them. See how it works for the steps.

Start with the core set: .com, .net, .org, .io, .xyz and .app, which costs $128.94 a year. The guide which domains a crypto project should register explains how to widen it.

No. We register a brand's own variants for that brand. Registering look-alikes of a brand you do not own is typosquatting, and the acceptable use policy bans it.

29: .com, .net, .org, .io, .xyz, .ai, .co, .app, .dev, .finance, .exchange, .money, .cash, .network, .capital, .fund, .ventures, .tech, .online, .shop, .info, .biz, .click, .icu, .live, .support, .trade, .link and .pro. We do not sell .top, because it leaves no room under Namecheap's renewal price.

A .com costs $12.49/year. The same price applies to renewal and to transfer, with no first-year promotion and no jump later.

We do not claim to be the cheapest. Each extension is priced under Namecheap's regular renewal price read on 12 November 2026, and the median is 33% under across the 29. The price list is on the pricing page.

A .ai is sold two years at a time, at $88.49/year, because that is how its registry works. A transfer in is billed for two years as well.

Renewal is automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. The balance must hold enough on the renewal date, so keep a reserve. A lapsed defensive domain can be picked up by someone else.

The core set of six extensions costs $128.94 a year and $386.82 over three years, because the price does not change.

BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. We do not accept Monero, cards or bank transfers.

Yes. You pay from a prepaid balance, and any wallet can fill it by sending the exact amount shown. The DAO domain security guide covers the account and the renewal duty.

The minimum top-up is $25. The part of a top-up added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if it is unspent. The rest of the balance never expires and is not paid back.

Send the exact amount, then click I've sent the payment. It is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. We do not promise a delay.

Nothing is lost: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, refused by the registry), the full amount goes back to your balance.

No. You upload no ID document, take no selfie and type no ID number. The only contact data we collect is one email address per domain, required and verified as ICANN rules require, and kept private.

You are, in your own name, unless you add Domain protection. With it, DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficiary.

We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case.

Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims lead to action within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Report it to [email protected]; the abuse page describes the process.

No. A registry lock is held at the registry, for example Verisign, and Wardmint does not offer it. We offer a transfer lock that you switch on or off for each domain, and Domain protection.

Yes. The transfer (EPP) code is free, requested from the client area, and you switch the transfer lock off for each domain first.

No. Our guides show the free tools and the official procedures, from finding look-alikes to filing a UDRP complaint.

According to Wardmint's survey of 12 November 2026, our 29 extensions cost a median 33% less per year than Namecheap's regular renewal price, from 2% less for .io to 40% less for .trade. Porkbun and Cloudflare Registrar are lower on most extensions: we do not claim to be the cheapest.
