1) What is XGo ID?
XGo ID combines the functionalities of a directory and a bank account, providing a convenient way for crypto users to locate and connect with each other, as well as securely send and receive funds between wallets.
In essence, XGo ID is a secure identifier that replaces complex wallet addresses with simple, human-readable addresses. It allows you to manage and transact with your cryptocurrency using easy-to-remember handles, similar to sending a text message to a contact on your mobile phone.
2) What’s the benefit of using XGo ID?
Well, first of all, you get to pick the handle you want. With this personalized handle, there’s no need to remember complex wallet addresses. Instead, you can conveniently manage them all from this single name. Now, you can begin to send and receive crypto effortlessly without having to type long strings of characters or double-check wallet addresses.
3) How does XGo ID work?
By combining a personalized handle of your choice with the ".xgo.id" extension, XGo ID simplifies the process of managing crypto transactions such as sending and receiving crypto between friends and family.
This unique identifier replaces the need for complex crypto wallet addresses. For instance, instead of dealing with a lengthy address like "0xd8dA...045," you can choose a simple handle such as "satoshi" and combine it with the extension to form your XGo ID: satoshi.xgo.id. This user-friendly identifier simplifies crypto transactions significantly.
In technical terms, the combination of your preferred name i.e. the handle and the domain, “.xgo.id” is known as a subdomain.
All of this is possible through Ethereum Name Service (ENS) technology. We leverage two smart contracts i.e. two programs by ENS:
- One to register and store handles like phone book entries
- The other is used as a translator between easy-to-read addresses and complex machine-readable addresses to ensure transactions are sent to the correct recipient.
4) How do I claim my unique XGo ID?
It is very easy to do. Simply:
On mobile
i. Download the XGo Mobile app
ii. Complete the sign-up process
iii. Claim your Wallet ID handle
5) What exactly is the bind feature on XGo ID?
