Solana Foundation gave us the idea.
So we built a market for them.
HANDLES: browse X usernames, place a bid in SOL, prove you own yours with X itself.
No escrow. No custody. Signed bids only.

$HANDLES now verifies X ownership mid-deal.
SOL stays in escrow. Flow:
Bid β Escrow β Handover β X Auth Verify β Both Confirm β Release
The @handle change still happens on X. HANDLES just confirms the handover before funds can be released.
This also sets up automated transfers if X ever ships official transfer infra.ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

HANDLES UPDATE
Weβre making the handover process smarter.
HANDLES can now verify X ownership during a deal using X authentication, while SOL remains secured in escrow.
Bid β Escrow β Handover β X Ownership Verification β Buyer + Seller Confirm β Release
The actual @handle change still happens on X, but HANDLES now verifies the handover before a deal can become ready for release.
This also lays the groundwork for fully automated transfers if X opens official transfer infrastructure in the future.

Weβre working toward making the entire process automatic with X β verification, handover and settlement. The goal is for buying or selling an @handle to eventually feel like any other marketplace transaction, with HANDLES handling the flow end-to-end.
Thatβs definitely the bigger vision. The escrow infrastructure is already there, so technically HANDLES could support more than just @handles. Full X accounts are something weβre exploring, but weβd only enable it if thereβs a transfer method that works within Xβs rules.

@BuyXHandles@handles Make it so you can just sell the entire X Account !! Crypto would love this and needs this there are plenty of accounts to be sold instead of just the handles and then were talking the infrastructure is there as an escrow you can just say you already do that
Weβre adding full X account ownership to HANDLES next. Not just @handles β users will be able to verify ownership of an entire X account, list it, receive bids and use HANDLES escrow for the transaction. Weβre building the infrastructure now.
Yeah, X Communities are something weβre looking at too. HANDLES is starting with @handles, but Communities could be a natural next marketplace if thereβs enough demand and we can structure transfers safely around Xβs rules.

@BuyXHandles So we can sell our accounts right ? im trying to sell my account with a 6.9k member community linked to it from a previous CTO with many KOLS in it that hit millions and listed with you guys !
The transfer itself happens between the buyer and seller β HANDLES just provides the marketplace and escrow. X still controls the platform and its usernames, so their terms ultimately apply to the accounts/handles on X. We're not claiming HANDLES overrides X's rules.

@crypto_petite@BuyXHandles why wouldn't you be allowed to sell your handle bro ? X has nothing to say about how you arrange to transfer a handle for money
Thatβs the point of the escrow. The seller never receives the buyerβs SOL upfront β HANDLES holds it until the handover is completed and confirmed. If the seller doesnβt deliver, the funds stay locked and the buyer can open a dispute for review/refund.

You can claim it. Once a seller accepts your bid, you deposit the SOL into HANDLES escrow. The seller completes the handle transfer, both sides confirm, then HANDLES releases the SOL to the seller. Unlike an NFT, the @handle itself isn't onchain, so the actual transfer happens through X.
