Username Sourcing Policy

A large part of the rare-username market runs on hacked accounts. We publish this policy because the difference between a legitimate acquisition and a stolen one is invisible to the buyer — and the buyer is the one who loses the handle when the real owner recovers it.

Proof that the releasing party controls the account, recorded against the listing before any transfer.

A signed release from that party.

A statement of intended use from the buyer, and, where a trademark claim is the route, the registration itself.

Any handle that appears to come from a hacked, stolen or recovered-by-force account.

Handles belonging to an active person or business that has not agreed to release them.

Requests aimed at impersonating someone.

Funds are held until you confirm the handle is under your control. If the transfer does not complete, you are refunded. Funds are held by VFCore in company-controlled wallets. This is not an on-chain or third-party escrow, and we describe it this way deliberately: the protection you have is contractual, not technical.
