IPopRules
Title: Proof of Personhood Rules for Dotns
Proof of personhood interface defining Dotns price calculation, PoP-tier requirements, and base-name reservation rules.
Classifies labels into the PoP tier required for registration and exposes reservation
metadata. Length <= 5 is reserved for governance; lengths 6-8 require PopFull unless they
carry exactly two trailing digits (PopLite, gateway-issued); lengths >= 9 are open to
every caller as NoStatus when they carry zero or exactly two trailing digits. Any one-digit
suffix, and any suffix longer than two digits, is invalid; internal digits do not affect
classification. Reservations are keyed by the digit-stripped stem so alice and alice42
share a slot.
Pricing is a flat per-name deposit on the NoStatus tier; verified PopLite and PopFull
users pay zero.

Functions
classifyName
Classifies a name into a required PoP tier per DotNS naming rules.
Pure; inputs are the label bytes only. Callers use the returned tier to decide which pricing and verification branch applies. Non-canonical labels (anything other than a single lowercase ASCII DNS label) and labels with exactly one or more than two trailing digits both trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function classifyName(string calldata name)
external
pure
returns (PopStatus requirement, string memory message);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | The name label being evaluated. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
requirement | PopStatus | Required tier for registration. |
message | string | Explanation of the classification result. |
updateStartingPrice
Updates the spam-deterrent starting price for NoStatus pricing.
Owner-only; unauthorised callers trigger @custom:reverts
OwnableUnauthorizedAccount. newStartingPrice must be strictly positive, otherwise
Note:
reverts: PopError. The new value flows into _priceValidatedName on the next
pricing read; no redeploy. Emits @custom:emits StartingPriceUpdated with the prior
and new values.
function updateStartingPrice(uint256 newStartingPrice) external;
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
newStartingPrice | uint256 | New base price in wei. |
reserveBaseName
Creates or refreshes a reservation entry for a PopLite-eligible stem.
Commit-reveal reservation path. Only an authorised controller on the registrar may
call this, otherwise @custom:reverts NotRegistry. The caller passes the
already-stripped stem; the contract enforces stem shape (no trailing digits) and
PopLite-eligibility
(length in [6, 8]), and a non-canonical label or a label outside that shape triggers
Note: reverts: PopError. Cross-user collision on a live slot triggers @custom:reverts PopError so the caller cannot silently overwrite another user's reservation; same-user refresh and writes into an empty or expired slot emit @custom:emits BaseNameReserved.
function reserveBaseName(string calldata stem, address user) external;
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stem | string | The base label with no trailing digits. |
user | address | The address receiving reservation rights. |
reserveBaseNameForPop
Writes or refreshes a reservation for a bare base-name stem.
Gateway-driven reservation path used by the PoP controller. Only a controller in the
registrar's controllers set may call this, otherwise @custom:reverts NotRegistry.
Does not apply the lite-format length window that @custom:function reserveBaseName
enforces, but does require the input to be canonical and stem-shaped (no trailing
digits); a non-canonical or non-stem label triggers @custom:reverts PopError. If the
slot is already live and held by a different user, @custom:reverts PopError so the
caller's local bookkeeping and PopRules state stay in lockstep; if it is live for the
same user, expiry is refreshed to block.timestamp + MAX_RESERVATION_TIME. Emits
Note: emits: BaseNameReserved on every successful write.
function reserveBaseNameForPop(string calldata stem, address user) external;
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stem | string | The base label with no trailing digits. |
user | address | The address receiving reservation rights. |
releaseBaseName
Clears a reservation for a base-name stem.
Only a controller in the registrar's controllers set may call this, otherwise
Notes:
-
reverts: NotRegistry. Non-canonical or non-stem labels trigger
-
reverts: PopError. Live reservations may only be cleared by the same controller that wrote them; another authorised controller attempting to clear a live slot triggers
-
reverts: PopError. Expired reservations may be cleared by any authorised controller as garbage collection. Used by the PoP controller when a reservation is claimed, relinquished, or a queue head promotion leaves the slot empty. Emits
-
emits: BaseNameReleased once the slot is cleared.
function releaseBaseName(string calldata stem) external;
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stem | string | The base label whose reservation should be cleared (no trailing digits). |
releaseReservationForReclaim
Clears a reservation when the slot owner matches expectedOwner, allowing any
registrar-authorised controller (not only the stamping one) to release the slot.
Narrower than @custom:function releaseBaseName: callers must prove they know the
slot owner, so cross-controller release is gated on a positive match rather than on
caller identity. Intended for the public registrar controller's reclaim path, where
a prior occupant has handed the name back to escrow and the new registrant needs
the cross-flow guard cleared regardless of which controller originally stamped it.
Only a registrar-authorised controller may call this (@custom:reverts NotRegistry).
Non-canonical or non-stem labels trigger @custom:reverts PopError. A live reservation
whose owner does not match expectedOwner triggers @custom:reverts PopError; expired
reservations are cleared regardless. Emits @custom:emits BaseNameReleased.
function releaseReservationForReclaim(string calldata stem, address expectedOwner) external;
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stem | string | The base label whose reservation should be cleared (no trailing digits). |
expectedOwner | address | The address the caller expects to be the current reservation owner. |
getBaseNameReservation
Retrieves reservation information for a base name.
Raw accessor: returns the stored slot regardless of expiry. Use
Notes:
-
function: isBaseNameReserved when live-window semantics are needed. Non-canonical labels trigger
-
reverts: PopError.
function getBaseNameReservation(string calldata baseName)
external
view
returns (address owner, uint64 expires);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
baseName | string | The base label without trailing digits. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
owner | address | The address assigned to the reservation. |
expires | uint64 | UNIX timestamp when the reservation expires. |
stripDigits
Returns the bare stem of a label, i.e. the label with any trailing ASCII digits removed.
Mirrors the normalisation that @custom:function reserveBaseName applies before writing a reservation, so callers can look up or release a reservation by passing the full label without re-implementing the digit-stripping rule. Non-canonical labels trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function stripDigits(string calldata name) external pure returns (string memory stem);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Full label (with or without trailing digits). |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stem | string | The label with trailing digits removed. |
isBaseNameReserved
Indicates whether a base name is currently reserved.
Applies the live-window predicate to the stored slot so an expired reservation reads as free. Non-canonical labels trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function isBaseNameReserved(string calldata baseName)
external
view
returns (bool reservedStatus, address owner, uint64 expires);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
baseName | string | The base label without trailing digits. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
reservedStatus | bool | True if a live reservation is active. |
owner | address | The reservation holder (zero when not reserved). |
expires | uint64 | UNIX timestamp when the reservation expires. |
priceWithCheck
Calculates price with PoP classification and reservation enforcement.
Reverting pricing path used by the commit-reveal controller. Price is a spam
deterrent and is significant only for NoStatus users; verified users pay zero.
Non-canonical labels, a base stem held live by another user, a governance-reserved
label, or a userAddress whose personhood tier does not meet the label's required
tier each trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function priceWithCheck(
string calldata name,
address userAddress
)
external
view
returns (PriceWithMeta memory metadata);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Domain label. |
userAddress | address | Registering user for the given label. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
metadata | PriceWithMeta | Price with PoP requirements and classification. |
priceWithoutCheck
Calculates price with PoP classification and reservation metadata, without reverting on conflicts.
Non-reverting counterpart to priceWithCheck: surfaces the same fields, but reports
a Reserved status through metadata instead of reverting when the base stem is
held by another user. Used by front-ends that need to present a price and eligibility
preview without forcing a transaction attempt. Governance-reserved names are not
rejected here either; the caller decides what to do. Non-canonical labels still
trigger @custom:reverts PopError because the input is malformed rather than just
contested.
function priceWithoutCheck(
string calldata name,
address userAddress
)
external
view
returns (PriceWithMeta memory metadata);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Domain label. |
userAddress | address | Registering user for the given label. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
metadata | PriceWithMeta | Price with PoP requirements and classification. |
reachFee
Friction fee owed when account reaches into a label tier above its verification
level.
Non-zero only when account cannot meet the label's required PoP tier; the value is
the flat NoStatus deposit. Acts as cross-payer friction at registration time. Use
Note: function: transferFloor for transfer-time friction, which folds in the sender-tier-downgrade component as well. Non-canonical labels and labels with exactly one or more than two trailing digits trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function reachFee(string calldata name, address account) external view returns (uint256 fee);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Domain label being acted on. |
account | address | Account whose verification reach is being measured. |
transferFloor
Transfer-time friction floor: the greater of the recipient-reach component and the sender-tier-downgrade component.
Returns the flat NoStatus deposit when either (i) the recipient does not meet the label's required tier, or (ii) the recipient's personhood tier is strictly below the sender's. Returns zero when neither condition holds. The two components overlap on pure tier mismatches, so the function takes their maximum rather than their sum to avoid double-charging. Consumed by @custom:function DotnsRegistrar.quoteTransferFee. Non-canonical labels and labels with exactly one or more than two trailing digits trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function transferFloor(
string calldata name,
address from,
address to
)
external
view
returns (uint256 floor);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Domain label being transferred. |
from | address | Current holder of the name. |
to | address | Incoming holder of the name. |
isBaseName
Returns whether name is a base name under PoP rules.
A base name has no trailing digits; lite-person labels always have exactly two trailing digits, so the two spaces are disjoint. Non-canonical labels trigger
Note: reverts: PopError.
function isBaseName(string calldata name) external pure returns (bool isBase);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | The label to check. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
isBase | bool | True when the label has no trailing digits. |
price
Calculates registration cost for a label.
Returns zero for any label shorter than 9 characters; lengths >= 9 pay the flat
startingPrice deposit. Ignores the caller's personhood status and reservation
state. Non-canonical labels trigger @custom:reverts PopError.
function price(string calldata name) external view returns (uint256 cost);
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | Domain label to price. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
cost | uint256 | Registration cost in wei. |
