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.
Wide, welcoming, wave-like
W is the gentlest start. Wells Fargo, WhatsApp, Wikipedia, Windsurf. Often a quiet onset that lets the next syllable do the work.
e.g. WhatsApp · Wikipedia · Wells Fargo · Windsurf · Wix

light, brightness
L is fluid, M is warm. Soft start, illuminating semantic.
e.g. Lumen · Luminous · Lumens
Latin root
Pairs waialum 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.

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with waialum.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=waialum.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.
