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

- 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.
