DNS Management
Learn how to manage your tokenized domain's DNS settings on Doma, including landing pages, wallet mapping, redirects, DNS records, nameservers, DNSSEC, and how to detokenize or transfer your domain out.
Every tokenized domain on Doma comes with a full suite of DNS controls, letting you configure how it resolves, where it points, and how it's secured, all from one place.
How to Access DNS Settings
On the individual domain page, click Edit to open the domain's settings. From there, you'll find seven tabs covering everything you can configure.
Landing Page
Set a custom landing page so your domain is discoverable, or use a standard Doma template to show that it's for sale.
- For sale page: shows your domain as available for purchase — visitors can buy now at a fixed price or make an offer
- Profile page: your personal Web3 identity page, displaying linked wallet addresses, token holdings, and your domain collection, all on one shareable site
Wallet Mapping
Wallet mapping lets you link your domain to your wallet addresses, enabling seamless management and interaction with your domain through your connected wallets. You can also set a primary name, similar to ENS.
Redirects
Forward the root domain or any subdomain to an external URL, served over HTTPS. Each host needs a DNS record pointing to Doma. The root redirect also applies to www.
- 301 · Permanent: best for most redirects — cached by browsers and better for SEO
- 302 · Temporary: use when the redirect is short-lived or the destination may change
DNS Records
DNS records let your domain function like a traditional web domain. They enable you to connect your domain to websites, verify ownership with services, and make your Web3 domain accessible across the internet.
Nameservers
Nameservers control where your domain's DNS settings are managed. By pointing to Doma nameservers, you can manage on-chain DNS records, enable wallet mapping, and gain full control over how your domain resolves on the internet.
DNSSEC
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds a layer of security to your domain by digitally signing DNS records. This prevents attackers from hijacking your domain's DNS responses through cache poisoning or man-in-the-middle attacks.
DS (Delegation Signer) records point to the signing keys used for your domain, creating a chain of trust from the root DNS servers to your domain. DNSSEC is required to fractionalize your domain on Doma.
Transfer Out
Moving your domain to a different registrar happens in two steps:
Step 1: Detokenize
Burn the ownership NFT and return the domain to traditional registrar-managed DNS. This is required before transferring to a different registrar.
Step 2: Transfer
Once detokenized, use your auth code to authorize the move at your new registrar. Treat the auth code as sensitive — anyone with it can start a transfer, so only share it with your gaining registrar. Transfers typically settle in 5–7 days once authorized.
