MoniTag Guide

Everything you need to know about your MoniPay identity.

A MoniTag is your human-readable identity on the MoniPay protocol. It replaces long, confusing wallet addresses with something easy to remember.

Anatomy of a MoniTag

  • Format: Starts with @ (e.g., @monipay).
  • Length: 3 to 20 characters.
  • Characters: Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_).
  • Uniqueness: Every MoniTag is unique across the entire protocol.

Why Use a MoniTag?

  • Error Prevention: No more double-checking 42-character hex strings.
  • Branding: Merchants can use their business name (e.g., @blue_cafe).
  • Social Integration: MoniTags are used by MoniBot to identify users on Twitter/X.

Registration Rules

  1. First-Come, First-Served: Once a MoniTag is claimed, it cannot be taken by someone else.
  2. Permanent: Currently, MoniTags cannot be changed once registered. Choose wisely!
  3. Multi-Chain: Your MoniTag works across all chains supported by MoniPay (Base, BSC, etc.).

Best Practices for Businesses

  • Use your official brand name.
  • Keep it short and memorable.
  • Avoid using too many underscores or numbers unless they are part of your brand.
  • Display your MoniTag QR code at your physical checkout counter.
