# Rule description for naming accounts
On the GXChain network, user information is stored in an account object. Each account has a unique account id (example: 1.2.*
), and the account object contains the user's account name. GXChain has its own naming rules. The following is a description of GXChain's rules:
GXChain account name is limited to 1-63 characters
GXChain account name must be in lowercase letters (beginning with a-z)
The last letter of the GXChain account name is (0-9 a-z)
When
.
exists in the GXChain account name, each slice separated by.
must start with a lowercase letter (a-z), the accounta.1
is invalid, and the accounta.b
is valid.GXChain account name can use (
a-z 0-9- .
) except for the first letter and the last letter (including.
separated slices)
The following is the code for the account name verification:
bool is_valid_name( const string& name )
{ try {
const size_t len = name.size();
if( len < GRAPHENE_MIN_ACCOUNT_NAME_LENGTH )
{
ilog(".");
return false;
}
if( len > GRAPHENE_MAX_ACCOUNT_NAME_LENGTH )
{
ilog(".");
return false;
}
size_t begin = 0;
while( true )
{
size_t end = name.find_first_of( '.', begin );
if( end == std::string::npos )
end = len;
if( (end - begin) < GRAPHENE_MIN_ACCOUNT_NAME_LENGTH )
{
idump( (name) (end)(len)(begin)(GRAPHENE_MAX_ACCOUNT_NAME_LENGTH) );
return false;
}
switch( name[begin] )
