2 min read

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:

  1. Visit the NameSky website and click on “Mint” on our website.
  2. Connect your NEAR wallet to the NameSky platform.
  3. Choose the NEAR account you want to turn into a NameSky NFT.
  4. 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.

Correct! Wrong!

  4. 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!!!
