ADA Handle
Human-readable wallet addresses as NFTs — own $yourname on Cardano
What is ADA Handle?
ADA Handle is the leading human-readable wallet address system on Cardano. Instead of sharing a long alphanumeric wallet address, you own a short, memorable handle like $yourname — an NFT that maps to your wallet address. DanoNight uses $danonight as its official ADA Handle.
Key Features
Human-Readable Addresses
Replace your 100-character Cardano address with a short $handle that anyone can send ADA to directly — no copying, no errors, no confusion.
NFT Ownership
Your handle is a Cardano NFT in your wallet. It is fully transferable, tradeable on JPG.store, and worth holding as a premium digital identity asset.
Ecosystem-Wide Support
ADA Handle is supported by all major Cardano wallets, DEXes, and DApps. Sending to $yourname works wherever Cardano transactions are supported.
Subhandles
Handle owners can create subhandles (e.g. $company@yourname) for organizations, projects, or team members — all linking back to the root handle.
