Setting Identity Registration Prices

Pricing models are the foundation of your TLD’s tokenomics. DScroll grants registry owners total control over registration costs, currency choices, and contract immutability.

💰 Flexible Currency Support

DScroll supports two payment architectures, enabling you to build natural demand for your own project tokens or collect standard gas assets:

1. Native Gas Token Payment (Fallback)

By default, registration fees are priced and paid in the network’s native token (ETH on Base).

Best for: Open community platforms, simplified user onboarding (no extra tokens to buy).

2. Custom ERC-20 Token Integration

You can bind any valid standard ERC-20 token contract to your TLD registry. Once bound, the registrar contract will refuse native gas payments and require users to pay in your custom token.

Best for: Projects wanting to create strong, organic utility for their native project token. To register a username@yourproject identity, users must purchase and spend your token.

🛠️ How to Configure Pricing & Tokens

To set your pricing rules:

Connect your wallet to the DScroll Manager (manager.dscroll.com).
Go to the Pricing & Currency configuration card.
Select Currency:
- Choose Native Token, or
- Choose Custom Token and enter the contract address (e.g., 0x123...).
Set Registration Price: Enter the cost per identity registration (configured in standard decimals, e.g., 18 decimals for standard ERC-20s or ETH).
Confirm and approve the transaction.

🛡️ Sovereign Configuration Locks

To establish permanent trust with your community, DScroll features a Sovereign Lock mechanism.

As a registry owner, you can choose to freeze/lock the pricing configuration. Once locked:

The registration price cannot be altered.
The payment token contract cannot be changed.
Your community gains ironclad assurance that their identities will never be subjected to sudden price increases or sudden policy shifts.

[!IMPORTANT] Sovereign locks are irreversible. Once you freeze your pricing rules, even you, the TLD owner, cannot unlock them. Use this feature only when your economic model is fully proven and final!
