Overview
- Access is limited to Premium Plus and Premium Business accounts, with a waitlist now live and most requests reviewed within three business days.
- Two tiers govern distribution: free Priority handles for eligible subscribers and paid Rare handles that X says can range from $2,500 to over seven figures.
- Priority handles revert to the original username if a user downgrades or cancels after a 30‑day grace period, while purchased Rare handles remain with the buyer even if the subscription ends.
- Rare names will be allocated via public drops based on merit or through invitation-only, fixed-price sales, and all marketplace-acquired handles are non-transferable with off-platform trading prohibited.
- Upon transfer, a user’s old handle is frozen to others, X cites bot-prevention as the rationale for a controlled release, and outlets note unresolved risks around impersonation, trademarks, and how inactivity is defined.
