Help & FAQ

DNS (Domain Name System) is the phonebook of the internet - it maps a hostname like bob.rxd.zone to the actual server that should answer for it. When someone visits your site, their browser looks up the DNS record you created here to find where to connect.

Owning a single Radiant name (like bob.rxd) gives you full control over everything under its zone. You don't need to separately register www, test, api, or any other hostname - once you own the base name, you can add or remove records for any hostname beneath it at any time.

Every record here has a 300-second (5 minute) TTL ("time to live") - that's how long other DNS servers around the internet are allowed to cache your old answer before checking again. After saving a change, it can take up to five minutes to be visible everywhere.

Only the current on-chain owner of a Radiant name can manage its DNS here - every write is checked against live Radiant ownership first. If the name is ever transferred to a new owner, the previous owner's records are disabled automatically and the new owner starts with a clean slate.

Every name under rxd.zone is run by whoever owns it on-chain - so an official-sounding name isn't automatically the Radiant project's. Names genuinely operated by the project show an "Official" badge on the DNS lookup page and are listed on the official sites page. The badge is tied to on-chain ownership, so if a team name were ever sold it disappears automatically. And don't trust a badge shown on a website itself - anyone can copy an image; check the name here instead.
