Reserve aliases in bulk

See Aliases for what an alias is and the automatic self-alias spoof guard that mailbox create already gives you. This page covers the sithbit alias create command’s bulk form.

sithbit alias create [<alias>...] [--keypair <keypair>] [--skip-preflight]

Creates many aliases in one invocation, packing as many CreateAlias instructions into each transaction as fit Solana’s transaction-size budget (about a dozen typical names per transaction; longer lists are split into successive transactions automatically):

sithbit alias create ceo sales support billing --keypair my_wallet.json

When no aliases are given as arguments, the list is read from stdin — whitespace-separated, so one name per line works — which suits piping in a prepared file:

sithbit alias create --keypair my_wallet.json < aliases.txt

Every created alias points at the signing wallet address, exactly as alias create would — same validation, same lowercasing, same per-alias fee (see Economics) — and duplicates in the list are collapsed before submission. The delegate waiver covers the length-tiered premium fees too: reserving a 1–4 character name costs the operator only rent, which is precisely how premium short names are meant to reach the market — reserved fee-free, then sold on the marketplace or handed off at a chosen price.

Bulk-created names carry no special state: like any alias, they can later be handed to another wallet with alias transfer init — a zero-fee offer the buyer accepts, fee-waived because the delegate is the holder — or closed at any time to reclaim their rent.
