Bob Docs

Expiring Names

The Expiring page helps you watch names in your wallet that need renewal attention.

Owned Names First

Bob's first Expiring page focuses on names in your own wallet. That keeps the feature useful in both SPV and full-node mode.

Global Expiring Names

A global expiring-name browser needs an indexed full-node service. That belongs in a Shakedex channel or a future Bob full-node index, not in SPV mode alone.

Can Renewal Be Automatic?

An ordinary encrypted Bob wallet must be running and unlocked before it can sign a renewal. A TLD intentionally finalized to Handshake's renew-only script has different rules: anyone may pay its renewal fee, but its Handshake records can no longer be changed.
