# Clusters

Vision has joined forces with Clusters @clustersxyz (clusters.yxz) now live on vision.io.

Clusters represents a groundbreaking step towards unifying the fragmented blockchain ecosystem. With Clusters, users can register a universal name that works across multiple blockchains and wallets, simplifying the way we interact with blockchain technologies.



***

## Overview

> Clusters is a universal namespace. All the blockchains, all your wallets, one name.&#x20;
>
> Clusters is different than existing services. It's **one universal name** that encompasses all the blockchains. It's different than ENS' .eth, SNS' .sol, Avvy's .avax, SpaceID's .bnb and .matic, or UnstoppableDomains using arbitrary conflicting TLDs. It embraces the multichain world.
>
> A clusters name is suffixed with a trailing slash: **/**&#x20;
>
> So if I'm foobar, my clusters name is **foobar/**
>
> All my wallets are then suffixed individually under this universal name, just like a website URL. My ethereum wallet could be **foobar/eth**, my solana wallet is **foobar/sol**, my bitcoin wallet is **foobar/ordinals**. I can also have multiple wallets on the same chain, for example **foobar/defi** and **foobar/nfts** can both be ethereum wallets. -> read more on [https://docs.clusters.xyz/](https://docs.clusters.xyz/)

## Protocol Mechanics



> Clusters Beta launched in Feb 2024 focused on initial name distribution. Clusters Prod launch is targeted for Q2 2024 focused on security, cost, and protocol decentralization.
>
>
>
> ## Beta Period
>
> Weekly auctions ending at Friday 3pm ET, highest bid for each name locks it in and will be eligible to receive/create it on prod launch. Bids in the last 10 minute of any auction will extend the auction for that specific name by 10 more minutes. Losing bids will be refunded, though any bridge/gas fee will not be.
>
> Boosted bids to incentivize certain activity. Let’s walk through an example. Suppose I bid 0.1 eth on foobar/. I am the first bidder, I link my twitter pfp, and I refer five friends who bid 0.5 eth in total.:
>
> * Core bid: 0.1
> * First bidder: +1x the bid amount, or +0.1
> * Link twitter pfp: +0.1x the bid amount, or +0.01
> * Referral bids: 1x their bids, or +0.5
>
> Rollout and beta testing of javascript SDK and REST API. Third-party integrations can happen during the beta period without waiting for prod launch.
>
>
>
> ## Prod Launch
>
> First-come first-served name registration. Demand-based recurring pricing goes live. Users can receive/mint their beta names as onchain digital objects.&#x20;
>
