Beam Anonymous Naming Service (BANS)
The Beam Anonymous Naming Service or BANS is the latest release from the Beam development team and the newest to the DApp Store. BANS is a smart contract that simplifies sending and receiving assets while providing all the privacy and security of a regular Beam address.
BANS domains link to your DAppnet wallets and bypass the traditional way of sending and receiving cryptocurrency (via a long alpha-numeric string of characters) by allowing users to send (and receive) assets to a simple domain name built on the Beam blockchain.
Users can register, sell, and gift BANS domains in just a few clicks. There is no preset limit to how many domains a user can purchase.
BANS DApp is currently only available on desktop wallets, and the DAppnet.
- 1.Launch the Dappnet.
- 2.Open BANS DApp.
- 3.Search for the BANS domain you wish to register.
- 4.Choose your desired registration period (minimum one year). Review the gas and registration fees.
- 5.Click confirm to complete your BANS domain registration.
- 6.Registered BANS domains will be listed under My domainsin the BANS DApp.
- 7.Your BANS domain is ready to receive funds!





Users can sell their BANS domains by listing them on the BANS marketplace or selling directly to an individual party.
- 1.Launch the Dappnet.
- 2.Open BANS DApp.
- 3.Select the BANS domain you wish to sell. Click sell.

- 6.Your BANS domain is available for purchase on the BANS Marketplace. Users renew their registration, alter the sale price or remove it entirely from BANS marketplace.

You can find all purchased domains under My domains.




Users can remove their domain from the Bans marketplace by going to My domains >>> "remove from sale".
