### Prices

Names are paid in ETH and are subject to yearly renewal. Lower digits have higher prices due to scarcity.

Every name directly funds the DAO and the nounish network of NNS resolvers across the world.

**Special reservation for .⌐◨-◨  holders**

Every holder of a .⌐◨-◨  name (who is also an holder of a Noun NFT or $NOUNS token) will have the correspondent .nouns name reserved for 30 days after launch.

This will prevent names squatting and will give everyone in the ecosystem the possibility to secure their .nouns identity.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Special reservation for Noun holders**

Numbers from 0 to 9999 will be reserved to holders of the correspondent Noun NFT.

For example, if you own Noun #69 and Noun #420, you will be able to claim 69.nouns and 420.nouns.

This reservation doesn’t have an expiration time and these names can be claimed at any time.
