Troubleshooting

• What should I do if name resolution fails?

If a name resolution fails:

1. Check if your MetaMask is using a supported “Ethereum Mainnet" network
2. Check that the name is correctly formatted like yulia@beast
3. Ensure you have a stable internet connection
4. Try refreshing MetaMask or restart your browser

If the name resolution still fails, it could be because no such name was registered yet via app.0xname.foo.
