4/ Names will reflect their new expiration dates on your account page. 🗓️
All complementary renewals will waive the usual renewal fees. To claim, owners must have enough APT in their wallet to cover the nominal gas fee.

5/ Note: If you have any names listed for sale on an NFT marketplace, they won't show up in the “Renewal Promotion Page” view. De-list those names before getting your free renewal.
2/ With open source access, users can review & audit the contracts they are interacting with. This is especially important in Web3 because users take on a risk anytime they interact with a contract.
