Coin or token? The same thing. Chain Daddy is a coin community platform: the home for your coin content. So we say coin for what you launch, hold and trade. In crypto it's also called a token, and you'll see that word where precision matters: a wallet, a block explorer, a contract, our developer docs and API. New to crypto?
What is a registration? The public record on the blockchain that you own a coin's name (its ticker) on a chain, for one coin. It is what makes your coin page verified. You get one when you launch or verify a coin.
What does it cost? Launching a coin here costs nothing up front. Verifying ownership of one made elsewhere is $15 plus the network fee (gas), and free for established coins. Apps are free to add on every plan. Registration & Creation Pricing · Plans
Do I need a wallet? Not to start. Signing in with email or a social account makes one for you. Sign in
Can I verify a coin I didn't deploy? Yes, if your wallet owns the contract, controls its minting, or holds more than half the supply. How you prove it's yours
Can I move my registration to another wallet? No. It stays in the wallet that registered. You can release it, or sell it through a deal, where both sides sign. Registering from a multisig, a shared wallet that needs several keys, lets you change keys without changing the wallet. Wallet Security & Recovery
What if I lose that wallet? Nobody can recover the registration for you, us included. It can only expire, after which anyone who proves ownership can verify it. Wallet Security & Recovery
Can I lose my registration? Yes, if your coin goes quiet: a health score below 60 for 30 days in a row. An active coin keeps it without doing anything. Coin Health
Can Chain Daddy take or reassign my registration? No. The registry contract has no function that takes a live registration from its holder. It changes hands only through a deal, your own release, or expiry. The admin multisig can restore a registration that is in no wallet, such as one burned for a deal that never completed.
Is the contract upgradeable? Yes. Only the protocol's admin multisig can authorize an upgrade, and an upgrade can change how the registry behaves. These answers describe the contract as deployed today.
What if Chain Daddy shuts down? Your registration is on the blockchain, so it stays in your wallet and any app can read it without us. Health scores would stop updating, so no registration would expire.
Can I use the contract directly? Yes. It is verified on chain: releaseCrown(tokenId) retires your registration, and setManager and setMaintainer add helpers. For code, see the API and the CLI.
Does an airdrop take my coins? No. They stay in your wallet until each person claims, and claiming costs the claimer nothing. Airdrops
Who wrote the message I got about a coin? The coin's team, not us. Messages From Chain Daddy
