Create a unique name to identify your assets.
Complete the getting started section.
Create a new account.
Load the account with enough symbol.xym to pay for transaction fees.
Click on “Namespace” on the left-side menu.
Click on the “Create new namespaces” tab.
3. Enter the information for your new namespace. Click “Send”. Verify the information on the popup and enter your wallet password. Click “Confirm”.
Note
The name must be unique in the network, and may have a maximum length of 64 characters, and the allowed characters are a, b, c, …, z, 0, 1, 2, …, 9, _ , -.
4. You can check that the namespace has been created by going back to the “Owned namespaces” tab. If you don’t see your namespace, try clicking on the update icon.
Note
To keep the ownership of your namespace, you will have to extend its duration before it expires.
When the transaction is confirmed, you can register a subnamespace following the next guide.
Choose a unique name for your namespace. One common option is to use your company’s or own name.
Check if the namespace name is available. For example, you can use the Command-line Interface to check if the namespace has been registered.
symbol-cli namespace info --namespace-name foo
Is the namespace available? Try to register it before someone else does it! Open a new file and announce a NamespaceRegistrationTransaction with the chosen name and renting duration expressed in blocks.
