Domain check
This usually takes about 2 seconds. RDAP catches the case where a domain is registered but currently has no nameservers (expired-redemption, parked, just-registered).
Every phonic in the name carries weight. Here's what each segment does — read left to right.
solid mass, unit
Hard plosives front and back — decisive, blunt. Fintech / infrastructure register.
e.g. Block (Square rebrand) · Blockchain · Blocky
English root
act of, modern tech connotation via .io domain
Two-vowel ending — open, exhalation. Modern SaaS feels.
e.g. Twilio · Studio · Trio
Latin / IO TLD root
Vibrant, alive, the most active letter
V is THE Placek letter. Vibrant, alive, the most active sound in English. Vercel, Volvo, Verily, Verisign, Vimeo. V-onset signals 'true / vital / vehicle'. Vercel pairs ver (Latin true) + cel (Latin swift) — every linguist choice deliberate.
e.g. Vercel · Volvo · Verily · Vimeo · Visa
Confident, open, expansive
A opens the mouth wide. Brands starting with A feel approachable and confident — Amazon, Apple, Asana, Adobe, Atlassian. The open vowel makes a name feel inclusive and platform-like.
e.g. Amazon · Apple · Asana · Adobe · Atlassian
Pairs blockiova with classical suffixes (-ex, -ius, -ium, -on), morphemes from the bank (ver-, lex-, pro-), and vowel mutations — then bloom-checks every candidate against the live .com zone file. Up to 400 candidates per click; only the available ones land here.

First-letter feeling
B-onset: Bold, blunt, declarative
B explodes from the lips. It commits. BlackBerry pairs the bold B with a homely real-word (berry) and the multiplier is the surprise. Brex doubles down — B + X both at the edges. Bumble takes B and makes it cuddly.
Examples: BlackBerry · Brex · Bolt · Bumble · Block · Bose

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with blockiova.com. The function hashes the SLD against our bloom
filter (built daily from the .com zone). Step 2 (only if step 1 said
"not in zone"): GET /api/rdap?domain=blockiova.com which HEADs
VeriSign's RDAP endpoint to confirm whether the domain is held at the
registry without active nameservers. Neither step logs your query.
