Address Names API

The display name for an address: a curated Quantascan label when one exists, otherwise a unique auto-generated nickname. Nicknames are a pure function of the address — the algorithm, word lists and golden vectors are published at /nicknames/v1/ so you can compute virtually every name offline and use these endpoints only for curated labels and the small collision-arbitration list.
GET/api/v1/{chain}/names/{address}QRL 2.0QRL (PoW)

Name For Address

The display name for one address.

Always returns a name. An address we have never indexed still gets its computed candidate, flagged with assigned: false.

Nickname Exceptions

Addresses whose name differs from the published algorithm's first output.

Apply these on top of a local implementation of /nicknames/v1/SPEC.md and your names become identical to ours, not merely almost identical.

SYNCING EFFICIENTLY The list is append-only, so you never have to re-download it: keep the as_of from your last response and send it as since. Combined with the ETag below, a poll that finds nothing new costs one 304 and no body.

Query parameters

sincestring | nullnoISO-8601 timestamp — return only entries added after it. Pass back the `as_of` from your previous response for an incremental sync.

Resolve Names

Resolve display names for many addresses in one call.

One request = one metered API call, so a view with thousands of wallets costs a handful of calls rather than thousands.
