NameSky is a user-friendly platform that enables trading of NEAR accounts as NFTs on the NEAR blockchain. With its smart contracts audited by @pessimistic_io, NameSky ensures a secure experience for users. You can find the audit report here and explore the NameSky marketplace to see accounts minted as NFTs.
This guide will help you navigate the NameSky platform, covering the process of turning a NEAR account into a NameSky NFT, checking the NFT on your NEAR wallet page, listing your NFT on the marketplace, and regaining control of a NEAR account by burning the NameSky NFT.
Step 1: Turn a NEAR account into a NameSky NFT
To turn your NEAR account into a NameSky NFT, follow these steps:
- Visit the NameSky website and click on “Mint” on our website.
- Connect your NEAR wallet to the NameSky platform.
- Choose the NEAR account you want to turn into a NameSky NFT.
- Upon minting, a lock contract will be deployed to the attached NEAR account, and all access keys will be removed. This means that only the owner of the NFT (you) can access the NEAR account.
True or False: NameSky's smart contracts have been audited.
Step 2: Check the NFT on your NEAR wallet page
To view your newly minted NameSky NFT:
- Log in to your NEAR wallet.
- Navigate to the “Collectibles” tab.
- You will see your NameSky NFT listed with the attached NEAR account.
Step 3: List your NFT on the NameSky marketplace
To list your NameSky NFT for sale:
- Go to a NFT detail page.
- Click on “Sell”.
- Set your desired price.
- Confirm your listing, and your NFT will be available for others to purchase.
Step 4: Take back a NEAR account by burning the NameSky NFT
If you want to regain control of your NEAR account:
- Visit your NameSky profile page.
- Locate the NameSky NFT you want to burn.
- Click on the “Take back the account.” from the dropdown
- A new recovery phrase will be generated locally on your device, granting you access to the NEAR account.
- The NameSky NFT will be burned, and you’ll regain full control of the attached NEAR account with the recovery phrase from step 4 on https://wallet.near.org/recover-account
NameSky provides a secure and easy way to buy and sell NEAR accounts as NFTs. By following this guide, you’ll be able to navigate the platform and manage your NEAR accounts and NFTs with confidence.

nice job
From day one we all feel the lack of a proper name service in Near protocol. NameSky NFT is the answer to this problem, the minting process was straightforward, I minted a few NFTs, and there were no problems. congratulation to the team for launching the mainnet. by the way, you can mint my NFT p0w.near
https://namesky.app/p0w.near
Yeah, this is a wonderful naming service. I has sold my account at namesky for 5 NEAR. I was so happy. Hope you can sell your NFT at namesky too.
nice name
Hi guys, this is my NS NFT. If you like it, take it before it is sold 🙂 https://namesky.app/becunfunny2.near
Good project for buy and sell Near Account
So my chance have come. I’ve been waiting for this! I’ve created some great Near accounts at very early age and was lucky enough to be able to secure some unique Near accounts that somebody may be interested in. I’ve tried in testnet first and found out NameSky is pretty easy to use and the fee is much lower than my expectation, to me it’s almost same to free OMG. I’ve list my NFT here at https://testnet.namesky.app/1994bean.testnet with some discount. Take a look at it!!!
try to use mainnet and sell real account for fun 🙂
Let’s switch to mainnet and with only 0.35 Near you will experience more interesting things
this is awesome. minting 1 NFT on this platform is very fast, low cost and very easy to use interface
In the future, it is hoped that the platform will offer many beautiful NFT options with an interface that is closer to everyone to make it more accessible to users.
love!
Great!
I minted and sold account as NFT form quite easily and conveniently through NameSky. Its interface is simple and elegant. The logic is pretty easy to understand, easy to use.
Seem like we already seen this comment 😉

The best part I like about Name sky is it gives steps by step instruction how to mint and it prevents you from minting your original account which has funds.keep in mind that don’t mint the account has nft which you use to store your funds.Thanks
Feel free to ask any questions
Good job!
