Nope, you can switch domains at any point. It'll break web links to your profile, but the network won't struggle to keep track of who you are.
The reason for this is that domain names are aliases. Your permanent ID is the DID, which the domain name maps to.
- jeroenhd 2y agoAFAIK currently the only supported DIDs are web DIDs and placeholders that the docs indicate are intended to be temporary until there's something better and more decentralised to replace them. Basedon that description, I'm not so sure about their permanence. At least, that's what people have been saying, the docs don't seem to mention that (anymore?) so maybe the placeholders weren't really placeholders after all. The npm package still mention placeholders (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@atproto/plc?activeTab=readme https://www.npmjs.com/package/@atproto/plc?activeTab=readme) but the up to date Github uses "Public Ledger of Credentials" as a backronym (https://github.com/did-method-plc/did-method-plc https://github.com/did-method-plc/did-method-plc). Based on the docs it seems like a web DID is technically just as valid a permanent DID as a placeholder DID, though that depends on the server implementation of course.
