If you haven’t read our posting on the details of the auction, please read the following article post: KNS Domain Auction Schedule and Details

Tables of Contents
A) Bid
B) Cancel Bid
C) Dashboard
D) Ranking

A) Bid

First, connect to your Kaikas wallet. Once connected, the button in the upper right corner will be shown as in the picture:

Next, click [Bid] in the menu, and go to the [Bid] tab.

If you enter a wrong domain or bid under the minimum bid, you won’t be able to continue.

  • Right domains: 3~6 letters in roman alphabets and numbers
  • Available KLAY: Amount of KLAY in your wallets — 0.5 KLAY (for gas fee)
  • Minimum bid: 50 KLAY

Enter the domain you want to bid on and click [Continue].

Read the guidelines carefully, check the boxes, and click [Continue]. We recommend you read them line by line.

Check your secret phrase for the bid and click [Download] to download it as a .txt file. You can also click the button in the upper left box to copy the phrase.

Enter the secret phrase you just downloaded to double-check and press [Continue].

Once confirmed, you can press [Send] and Kaikas wallet will generate a transaction.

In the very unlikely event of a transaction failure due to network issues or mistaking the amount of KLAY, click [Restart] to start the bidding process again.

If you succeed in sending the transaction, the [Go to Dashboard] button will appear. Click the button to check your bid in the dashboard.

B) Cancel Bid

You must connect your wallet in case you wish to cancel a bid.

Go to [Bid]-[Cancel] tab and enter the secret phrase you download when you placed a bid and click [Cancel Bid].

Confirm the details and click [Cancel Bid] to send a transaction. 1% of the bid amount will be charged as a cancellation fee.

If the transaction fails, you would have to click [Restart] and go back to the initial page.

If you succeed in sending the transaction, [Go to Dashboard] button will appear. Click the button to check your cancellation in the dashboard.

C) Dashboard

The dashboard menu has two tabs: [My Bids] and [Recent Bids]

In the [My Bids] tab, you can check the timestamp, bid amount, ID, and TX of each bid. Before the reveal period, you can compare the ID of your secret phrase and the ID in the dashboard to identify the domain. During the reveal period, you can click the [Reveal] button to check the domain. Also, you can check your total bid amount and the total number of your bids.

In the [Recent Bids] tab, you can check the information of lastest 30 bids. Also, you can check the total bid amount and the total number of entire bids.

D) Ranking

The ranking page also has two tabs: [Bidder Ranking] and [Single Bid Ranking] (It’s [Individual Bid Ranking] in the picture, but will be changed)

In the [Bidder Ranking] tab, you can check the top 10 bidders. You can also check your rank. Try for a ranker!

In the [Single Bid Ranking], you can check the top 10 bid amounts and the bidder information. Domain information will be available after the reveal.
