💨 Abstract

Twitter (X) is planning to generate revenue by selling dormant usernames to Verified Organizations for $10,000 and up. The process involves a "handle inquiry" for companies with a $1,000 per month subscription, and the transfer of purchased handles within one to two days. The move, first spotted by reverse engineer Nima Owji, could encourage active use and create another revenue stream outside of subscriptions, ads, and developer access.
