Claim your Begin ID

Claim your Begin ID

Your Begin ID is more than just a username — it’s your identity across the Cardano and Bitcoin ecosystems. Begin ID allows you to send and receive crypto using a human-readable name (like @jamie) instead of a long address, and it even works outside Begin Wallet in dApps that support the standard.

Begin is also compatible with the ENS (Ethereum Name Service) format, increasing interoperability and usability in web3 apps.

And the best part? You get a public web profile like:

https://your-username.bgin.id

This page showcases your wallet address, collectibles, and serves as your identity across dApps and networks.

📝 Jamie’s Notes
