Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly am I buying?
A permanent entry on the Ethereum blockchain. Your chosen name is written on-chain, where no one — including us — can ever edit or remove it. It is a one-time purchase. There is nothing to renew, maintain, or upgrade.
What is the difference between a Personal Entry and a Brand Listing?
Both produce the exact same immutable on-chain record. A Personal Entry etches your name or handle, with an optional link to your X profile or personal site. A Brand Listing etches a company, fund, or brand name, links to the official company website in our directory, and comes with a commercial invoice for your books. One board, both kinds of entries, side by side, forever.
Can my entry ever be edited or removed?
No. That is the entire point. Once the transaction confirms on Ethereum, the record is irreversible. We have no admin key, no backdoor, and no technical ability to change it. Choose your entry carefully.
How much does it cost?
$10,000, one time, at the founding price. Fifteen founding places remain at this price. After that, the price rises to $20,000. There are no renewals and no hidden fees. Ethereum gas fees apply separately.
How do I pay?
By card or by crypto (ETH/USDC), from a personal or corporate wallet.
What name can I etch?
Your own legal name, an original alias you hold rights to, or a brand or entity you are authorized to represent. You may not impersonate a living person or infringe anyone's trademark. If you submit a brand listing, you confirm you are authorized to act for that entity.
What does the Brand Listing invoice include?
A commercial invoice documenting “Digital Directory Brand Placement & Web3 Sponsorship,” with your company legal name, business address, tax ID/EIN, the amount paid, and the transaction hash. It is emailed to you automatically after your on-chain record confirms.
Is the purchase tax deductible?
We make no representations about the tax treatment of any purchase, and nothing on this site is tax advice. Whether a Brand Listing qualifies as a business advertising expense depends on your circumstances and your jurisdiction. Consult your CPA or tax professional before you file anything. If a tax authority ever questions your purchase, that is between you, your CPA, and the authority — we do not defend, certify, or explain any buyer's tax position.
Why Ethereum?
Because it is the most battle-tested, decentralized ledger in existence. Your record inherits the permanence of the network itself.
What happens after I pay?
Your entry is written to the Ethereum blockchain. The moment it confirms, it is irreversible and publicly visible forever, in our directory and on any block explorer. Personal entries receive a transaction confirmation; brand listings also receive their commercial invoice by email.
Who is already Richlisted?
The live registry is on our homepage, verified on-chain. Every entry you see there is permanent.
