If you have ETH on Ethereum Mainnet and want a .manta name, move enough funds to Manta Pacific first. A .manta name is a Web3 name linked to a wallet address; SPACE ID lists it for Manta Pacific. Ethereum.org describes a rollup as a network that processes transactions separately and posts data to Ethereum. That is why mainnet funds need a bridge before you can use them on Manta Pacific.
What needs to be on Manta Pacific?
You need the domain payment amount accepted by the registration app, plus ETH for Manta Pacific transaction fees. A deposit usually takes minutes; Manta bridge withdrawal time matters when moving funds back to Ethereum, which follows a separate withdrawal process. Manta Bridge moves supported assets between Ethereum Mainnet and Manta Pacific, but it does not register the name for you.
How do you register it step by step?
- Check the name and price. Open SPACE ID’s domain service from a trusted Manta Network or SPACE ID page. Search for your chosen .manta name, confirm it is available, and note the registration price, term, and payment token. The price can vary by name and term.
- Check your wallet balances. On Ethereum Mainnet, keep enough ETH for the bridge transaction and its network fee. Network fees are payments to process transactions, and Ethereum’s fee changes with demand. Leave a little ETH behind if you will need it on mainnet.
- Bridge funds to Manta Pacific. Use Manta Bridge to send the asset the registration app accepts. Review the destination network and amount before signing. For ETH, bridge enough for the listed name price and a small ETH balance for Manta Pacific fees.
- Wait for the deposit, then switch networks. Check the bridge status and confirm the funds appear in your wallet on Manta Pacific. A common mistake is trying to pay while the wallet still shows Ethereum Mainnet; switch the wallet network before returning to the registration app.
- Register and verify ownership. Connect the same wallet, choose the term, review the total, and approve the transaction. After it confirms, check the name in your account and verify that it points to the intended address. Keep the renewal date somewhere you will see it.
What should you check afterward?
A registered name can make an address easier to share, but apps and wallets must support that name to resolve it. SPACE ID’s documentation describes .manta as a Manta Pacific name, while registration and transfer fees are separate costs. Keep a small amount of ETH on Manta Pacific for later record changes or transfers.
Common follow-up questions
Can I register the name with ETH still on Ethereum Mainnet?
Not directly through a Manta Pacific registration transaction. The ETH must first arrive on Manta Pacific through a supported route such as Manta Bridge. The bridge deposit and the name purchase are separate transactions, each with its own fee. Check the wallet’s selected network before approving either one.
How much ETH should I bridge?
Use the registration app’s current quote for the chosen name and term, then add a modest amount for Manta Pacific transaction fees. The exact total varies with the name price and network activity. Review the amount shown by the app and wallet before you sign, rather than relying on an old estimate.
Can I bridge a token other than ETH?
Only if the registration service accepts that token and Manta Bridge supports it for the route you choose. You will still need ETH on Manta Pacific to pay transaction fees. For an occasional registration, bridging ETH is usually the simpler option because it covers both the purchase, when accepted, and network fees.
What if the name is unavailable?
Choose another name or check again later; do not send funds to a wallet address claiming to reserve it for you. Registration services show availability and price before purchase. Confirm the exact spelling and term in the official service, then verify the registered name appears under the wallet that made the purchase.
