DID Names Update: Multi-Domain Hosting + Smoother Management

wangshijunAug 12, 2025

ArcBlock DID Names release adds true multi-domain hosting so blocklet developers can host and manage many domains at once—without juggling one-off setups. Alongside bulk hosting, the ArcBlock team shipped UX refinements, bug fixes, and performance tweaks to make domain operations faster and less error-prone.

Feature Highlights

New Features

Bulk Domain Hosting Support: Host multiple domains in a single flow to cut setup time and reduce repetitive work. Ideal for teams managing large portfolios or apps that span many domains. Two import paths are now supported:
- Manual entry (Dashboard): Paste one or more domains to host them in bulk.

- AWS Route 53 import (CLI): Pull domains directly from your Route 53 account using the new @blocklet/didnames CLI.

Enhanced Service Management: Update DNS records and landing pages with fewer steps. It’s now simpler to ensure each domain points to the right service without manual cross-checks.

Domain Contact Verification Status: See verification status at a glance. If a domain’s contact info isn’t verified, resend the verification email in one click. This reduces failed operations caused by unverified contacts.

User Experience Improvements

Paginated Lists for Groups & Services Cleaner, faster browsing of large domain/service lists with new pagination middleware.
Sharper Domain Management UI Clearer dialogs, fixed tag display overflow, and refined details across the board to reduce friction and mistakes.

Better Notifications (Toasts) Immediate, actionable feedback for critical actions—successes and errors are surfaced right when you need them.

Bug Fixes

Tag Overflow Resolved Long tags display correctly—no more cut-off labels.
Contact Verification Logic Tightened No redundant prompts for domains that are already verified.

What's Next

We’re continuing to invest in:

Deeper bulk-hosting capabilities (richer import options, safer batch edits).
More powerful service management (templates, guardrails, auditability).
Broader integrations with external DNS and cloud providers.

If you rely on large domain portfolios or automated pipelines, expect more tooling to remove manual work.
