By using the Dutch Auction tool, you agree to Vision's Terms of Service - Auctions section. Read terms of service.
A Dutch auction starts at a higher price and gradually decreases over time until someone makes a purchase or the auction ends. Think of it as a countdown deal!
Dutch auctions on Vision follow a simple process: • Sellers set a starting (high) price and an ending (low) price • The price automatically decreases over the set duration • When a buyer commits to purchase, there's a 30-second commitment period • Once the commitment period ends, the sale is final at that price
Watch Tutorial:
• You have a 5-minute window to edit your listing after creation • All prices are set in USD to avoid cryptocurrency volatility • If your name doesn't sell, you'll need to withdraw it back from our escrow • You can not cancel the auction • Make sure to set realistic price ranges based on market conditions
Watch Tutorial:
Information for Buyers: • You can watch prices decrease in real-time • The 30-second commitment period prevents last-second sniping • You can monitor multiple auctions simultaneously
A: The Edit window is only available for 5 mins after starting the auction - you'll see an "Update Auction" button during that time directly on the name page.

A: When you start an auction, your name is held in our secure escrow contract. During this time, you won't be able to list, transfer, or modify the name until the auction ends. If the name doesn't sell, no worries! You can easily get it back with just one click using the "Withdraw" button on the name page.
