Domain portfolio management & lead generation
Findwaldo is a domain owner discovery board for investors and operators working across traditional DNS, Handshake (HNS), and Ethereum Name Service (ENS). WHOIS records are redacted and on-chain owners are pseudonymous, so instead of scraping registries, Findwaldo works from the other direction: interested buyers register themselves against the names they want, and whoever controls a name can see exactly who is circling it and how to reach them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out who owns a domain name?
Search for the name on FindWaldo to see whether anyone has registered interest in it. Traditional WHOIS records are usually redacted for privacy, so instead of scraping registries, FindWaldo collects contact details from the people who actually want the name and shows them to logged-in users.
What does it mean to watch a domain?
Watching a name registers your interest in it. You submit the name along with your X, Discord or Telegram handle, and you are added to that name's watcher list. Anyone with an account can then see that you are interested and reach out to you directly.
Why would I want people to see my contact details?
Because that is how deals start. If you want to buy a name, the owner has no way to reach you unless you leave a way to be contacted. Watching a name puts you in front of whoever controls it, and in front of other buyers who might resell it.
What is a Handshake (HNS) domain?
Handshake is a decentralised naming protocol where top-level domains themselves are owned on a blockchain rather than issued by ICANN. An HNS name like .crypto is a TLD you own outright, and it is written with a leading dot to distinguish it from a regular second-level domain.
What is an ENS domain?
Ethereum Name Service names end in .eth and map a human-readable label to an Ethereum address, so you can receive funds at yourname.eth instead of a long hexadecimal string. ENS registrations expire and must be renewed, and ownership is public on-chain.
What is the difference between DNS, HNS and ENS names?
DNS is the traditional system behind names like example.com, registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar. HNS and ENS are blockchain-based alternatives — HNS owns the top-level domain itself, while ENS issues .eth names on Ethereum. FindWaldo tracks all three side by side.
Do I need an account to use FindWaldo?
You can browse and search every name without an account. You need a free verified account to register interest in a name, to save favourites, and to see the contact details of the people watching a name.
Does FindWaldo sell domains?
No. FindWaldo is not a marketplace and does not broker, escrow or take a cut of any sale. It puts interested buyers and domain owners in touch with each other, and the two of you handle the rest however you prefer.
