Nacho app
The fastest way to own a handle - no Bitcoin node, no wallet to set up, no account.
Nacho buys, holds and publishes handles from your phone. The keys are generated on the device and ownership is anchored on-chain, so the handle stays yours even if the app or the people behind it disappear. Available for iOS and Android.

What it does
Buy a handle. Pick a name and pay once - there is no subscription, renewal or expiry to miss.
Publish records. A handle is a pointer, and Nacho edits what sits behind it:
- payment addresses - Bitcoin, Lightning, Liquid, Ark, silent payments
- social accounts - Nostr, X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, GitHub, Telegram
- public keys - PGP, SSH, age, DID
- where to find you - website, note, Tor address
Change any of them whenever you like; the name never changes.
Look anyone up. Type a handle to see everything its owner published, and pay them straight from the result.
Verify on the device. Lookups are verified on your phone rather than by a server, so no company sits between you and the answer - see Trust anchor for how that verification works.
Handles vs. top level names
Nacho deals in handles like alice@bitcoin - names issued under a top level space. Acquiring a top level space itself (@bitcoin) goes through the Bitcoin auction process instead, covered in Spaces client.
