How to Register ArchID Domain Name Using Leap Wallet: Complete Guide for Archway Users
Learn how to register your ArchID domain name using Leap Wallet on Archway blockchain. This step-by-step guide covers both mobile app and browser extension methods for securing your web3 identity on Archway.
Registering an ArchID domain name using Leap Wallet provides you with a personalized web3 identity on the Archway blockchain. This comprehensive guide walks you through the entire process, whether you prefer using the mobile app or browser extension.
What is ArchID and Why You Need It
ArchID is a web3 domain name system built specifically for the Archway Network. Instead of sharing a complex string of characters as your wallet address, ArchID lets you use a simple, memorable name.
Think of it this way: when someone asks for your identity, you don't share your ID number—you share your name. ArchID works the same way in the Archway ecosystem, giving you a human-readable identity for your blockchain address.
Getting Started with Leap Wallet
Leap Wallet is a powerful multi-chain wallet that supports Archway and 200+ other blockchains natively. Before registering your ArchID, you'll need to set up Leap Wallet:
Download Leap Wallet from our official website
Available as both a mobile app (iOS and Android) and browser extension
Create or import a wallet
Ensure you have some ARCH tokens for the registration fee
How to Register ArchID Using Leap Wallet Mobile App

Once registered, your ArchID appears as an NFT in your wallet. You can now send and receive funds using this name instead of your complex wallet address.
