This Service is operated by a private individual, not a company. It is provided as a community project on a voluntary, non-commercial basis, funded by voluntary donations.
idroot.org provides free AT Protocol handles in the format @username.idroot.org to users who have successfully completed identity verification. The Service verifies user identity via Didit, provisions a DNS TXT record linking your username to your AT Protocol DID, reserves handles for 48 hours pending activation, and confirms activation by verifying your AT Protocol profile has been updated to use the issued handle.
You must meet the minimum age required by your jurisdiction to enter into a binding agreement and to submit to identity verification. In all cases you must be at least 16 years of age. You must be able to complete identity verification with a valid government-issued photo ID and must not be located in a jurisdiction where use of this Service is prohibited by law.
Upon successful identity verification, your chosen handle is reserved for 48 hours. The DNS TXT record is provisioned immediately. You must update your AT Protocol profile (e.g. Bluesky Settings → Change handle) to use the new handle within this window. Activation is confirmed automatically when the Service resolves your handle and verifies it maps to your DID. If not confirmed within 48 hours, the reservation expires and the handle is released.
You agree not to use the Service to impersonate any person, organisation, or brand; register handles that are defamatory, obscene, hateful, or unlawful; circumvent or manipulate the identity verification process; register handles on behalf of third parties without their consent; claim handles in bulk or automated fashion; or violate the laws of Germany or your country of residence.
Each verified identity is entitled to one active handle at a time. Attempting to register multiple handles through repeated or fraudulent verification is prohibited and may result in permanent suspension.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. The operator does not guarantee continuous or error-free operation, indefinite availability, preservation of handles if the Service is discontinued, or any specific level of DNS uptime. If the Service is to be discontinued, the operator will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice but is under no legal obligation to do so.
The Service is funded by voluntary donations. Donations confer no rights, entitlements, priority, or guarantees of any kind. A donation does not constitute a contract for services. Donations are non-refundable.
The Service integrates with Didit (identity verification), Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, analytics), and the AT Protocol network. The operator is not responsible for the availability, conduct, or data practices of these third-party services.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including loss of a handle, loss of followers, or disruption to your AT Protocol identity.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Germany. EU consumers may also bring proceedings in their country of residence under applicable EU consumer protection law.
The operator may modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
