Use @your-slug.edgeurl.io as your Bluesky handle
EdgeURL is now an AT Protocol handle host. Set your Bluesky handle to your-slug.edgeurl.io for free, and EdgeURL will publish your existing DID document at the address Bluesky checks. No app install, no separate domain, no monthly fee. Your DID stays yours -- we just host the resolution endpoint.
How it works
Bluesky resolves a custom handle by GETting https://<handle>/.well-known/atproto-did and reading the body as your DID. EdgeURL hosts that endpoint for every profile that opts in. When you set your bsky handle to your-slug.edgeurl.io, Bluesky hits your-slug.edgeurl.io/.well-known/atproto-did, sees your DID, and the handle change is approved.
You keep full custody of the underlying DID -- it lives wherever Bluesky put it (or wherever you set up your own PDS). EdgeURL only hosts the resolver, not the identity itself. If you ever revoke the bridge or close your EdgeURL account, your bsky handle simply reverts on bsky.app's side.
Three steps
1. Find your DID
In the Bluesky app or bsky.app:
Settings > Account > Advanced > Account DID. It looks likedid:plc:abc123....Even faster -- if your bsky handle is already verified on EdgeURL via Edge Verification, your profile editor has an Auto-fillbutton that fetches your DID directly from Bluesky's public resolver.
2. Enable the bridge
Go to /dashboard > your profile > Edit > Social tab. The Bluesky AT Protocol Bridge panel sits at the top.
- Paste your DID in the input (or click Auto-fill -- the button appears once your bsky handle is verified above).
- Tick the box to publish at
your-slug.edgeurl.io/.well-known/atproto-did. - Click Save bridge.
The panel as it appears in the profile editor. Auto-fill works once your Bluesky handle is verified via Edge Verification. 3. Change your handle on Bluesky
- Open bsky.app → Settings → Account → Handle → I have my own domain.
- In the domain field, type
your-slug.edgeurl.io. - Switch to the “No DNS Panel” tab. Bluesky defaults to the DNS Panel tab and asks you to add a TXT record — that flow will not work here because you don't control DNS for
edgeurl.io. The No DNS Panel tab uses an HTTPS file lookup instead, which EdgeURL is hosting for you. - Click Verify Text File.
Bluesky fetches
your-slug.edgeurl.io/.well-known/atproto-did, reads the DID EdgeURL is publishing, and applies the handle change. Anyone who follows you now sees@your-slug.edgeurl.io.
Verify it's working
curl https://your-slug.edgeurl.io/.well-known/atproto-did # -> did:plc:abc123...
Returns 404 if the bridge is off or no DID is set. Cache is 5 minutes; if you change your DID, give it that long to propagate.
Frequently asked
Is this free?
Yes. The bridge is free on every plan, including Free. No additional cost, no upgrade gate.
Do I have to give up my @rex0lux.bsky.social handle?
Yes -- a Bluesky account has one handle at a time. The good news: handle changes on Bluesky are reversible. You can always switch back to .bsky.social if you want.
Who controls the identity?
You do. The DID lives on Bluesky's PLC directory or your own PDS -- not on EdgeURL. We host only the public resolver record. If we vanish tomorrow, you switch your handle back and your account is intact.
What happens if I delete my EdgeURL profile?
The resolver returns 404. Bluesky will eventually flag the handle as unresolved -- give yourself a window to switch back to your previous handle on bsky.app first.
Will EdgeURL ever charge for this?
No plan to. The cost to us is one DB row + one cached endpoint per user; that's a rounding error. We benefit from the network effect of being a credible AT Proto host more than from the line-item revenue.
Can I use a custom domain instead?
Yes -- that's the standard Bluesky flow. EdgeURL also supports custom domains for your bio profile (Pro+). The bridge is meant for users who don't own a domain or just want a clean shared one.
See the EdgeURL docs index or read about verifying your Bluesky handle for the standard verification flow that doesn't change your handle.
