Namespace Structure
Global Handle Architecture
Every public Dock in Intridium can claim a distinctive handle. Handles create universal web addresses and persistent links across web and mobile.
When a visitor navigates to your Dock handle link, Intridium automatically serves a fast, lightweight preview displaying your community banner, verified credentials, channel overview, and topic tags before prompting for app authentication.
Licensing Guidelines
Licensing Rules & Responsibilities
Handle licensing balances creator freedom with protection against squatting, impersonation, and trademark infringement.
Namespace Standards
- •Handles must be 3 to 32 characters in length.
- •Allowed characters: lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and underscores (_).
- •All handles are globally unique and case-insensitive (e.g., @DevCore and @devcore resolve identically).
- •Handles cannot start or end with an underscore, nor contain consecutive underscores.
License Rights & Transferability
- •Claiming a Dock handle grants an exclusive digital license to use that namespace across Intridium.
- •Organizers can freely transfer handles between Docks they own without loss of channel history or member links.
- •Handle ownership transfers cleanly upon community ownership handover.
- •Selling, brokering, or squatting on handles for commercial ransom is strictly prohibited.
Trademark & Brand Protection
- •Registered trademark holders have priority rights to their established business brand names.
- •Verified organizations can claim reserved brand namespaces before public availability.
- •Impersonating an existing company, brand, or public figure results in immediate handle revocation.
- •Disputes are mediated through the official Trademark Resolution process via Support.
Inactivity & Reclaim Policy
- •Handles must be actively used: associated with a configured Dock with member participation.
- •180-Day Notice: Communities with zero message activity for 180 days receive dormancy notices.
- •365-Day Reclaim: Completely abandoned Docks with zero activity for 1 year have handles returned to the pool.
- •A 30-day grace period applies when a handle is voluntarily changed, holding it for the original creator.

365 Days Namespace Reclaim
Unresponsive, abandoned spaces are cleared. The handle returns to the registry for active builders.
