What every badge means.
Exactly.
Listings on the Prefixx marketplace carry badges that summarize our diligence. This page defines each one — what it means, what it does not mean, and how it is verified — so a badge never has to be interpreted.
Nine badges. Three different kinds of statement.
✓ Ownership verified
What it means. The party offering this space holds the registration rights to it, and the listing has cleared our ownership diligence — a review process that goes well beyond a registry lookup before any listing goes live.
What it does not mean. It says nothing about reputation, routability or fitness for your use case — those have their own signals below.
How it is verified. Registry records are the starting point, not the process: each listing clears a multi-step ownership and eligibility review before going live, and is re-checked before a transaction completes.
✓ Clean reputation ! Minor reputation issues × Flagged
What it means. At the verification date, our reputation scan across major DNS blocklists and reputation feeds returned: no active listings (Clean reputation); isolated or low-impact listings, detailed on the listing (Minor reputation issues); or active listings a buyer or lessee should evaluate before transacting (Flagged). Every listing shows when reputation was last checked.
What it does not mean. Reputation is a matter of record as of the verification date — it is not a continuing warranty, because reputation after delivery is driven above all by how the space is used. Where reputation issues arise during a lease that are not caused by your own use, our team assists with remediation — delisting requests with blocklist operators and registry record corrections — as provided in our agreements.
How it is verified. Automated scans across major DNSBLs and reputation data sources, timestamped per listing.
✓ No historic blocklist hits
What it means. Our lookback through the historical blocklist data available to us found no recorded listings for this space as of the verification date — an indicator of an uneventful past.
What it does not mean. Historical databases are not exhaustive. Absence of recorded hits is not proof the space was never listed anywhere, and it is not a prediction of future reputation.
How it is verified. Historical blocklist datasets and our own scan archive, as of the verification date.
⏱ Routed N+ years
What it means. Public routing data shows this space announced in the global routing table for at least the stated number of years — an indicator of established, real-world use.
What it does not mean. It is not a statement about who routed the space or for what purpose, and not a warranty of future routability.
How it is verified. Public BGP routing history, as of the verification date.
⇄ Inter-RIR eligible
What it means. Under the current transfer policies of the relevant registries, this space is of a kind eligible for transfer across RIR regions — for example between RIPE, ARIN and APNIC.
What it does not mean. Eligibility is set by registry policy, not by Prefixx. Every inter-RIR transfer remains subject to the receiving and releasing registries' approval and process, and policies change. This badge is not a promise that a particular transfer will be approved, or a timeline.
How it is verified. The registries' current published transfer policies, applied to this block's registry, status and type.
✓ RPKI supported
What it means. Route Origin Authorizations can be created for this space, so your announcements validate as RPKI-valid. On leases, preparing the ROA for your ASN — together with the Letter of Authorization and route objects — is part of our delivery.
What it does not mean. It does not mean ROAs for your ASN exist before delivery, and RPKI validity by itself does not oblige any network to accept an announcement.
How it is verified. The registry's ROA capability for this space and the registrant's authority to authorize ROAs.
☁ BYOIP: AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI
What it means. The block meets the published technical requirements — size, registry records, ROA support — to be announced on the listed cloud platforms through their Bring-Your-Own-IP programs, and we prepare the records each platform requires.
What it does not mean. Final acceptance is decided by the platform under its own program rules and your account standing. Platform requirements change and are outside our control; the badge lists the platforms whose requirements the block met at verification.
How it is verified. Each listed platform's current published BYOIP requirements, checked against the block's size, registry and ROA capability.
★ White-glove included
What it means. For this listing, our engineers handle delivery end to end at no extra charge: Letter of Authorization, route objects, RPKI ROAs, geolocation update requests and announcement support. The full scope is described on our white-glove service page.
What it does not mean. It is a delivery service, not network management — and like every service term, the version that binds is the one in your signed work order.
✓ Non-revocation guaranteed
What it means. This is the marketplace's one contractual guarantee, available on fixed-term leases where offered. The holder of the space commits, in a signed covenant obtained by Prefixx, not to revoke, withdraw, reassign, encumber or deregister the space — or curtail your right to announce it — for your fixed lease term. Prefixx stands behind that commitment with defined remedies, set out in the Prefixx Non-Revocation Guarantee Schedule referenced by your work order: replacement space within 2 business days, hands-on migration assistance at no charge, abatement and refund of charges from the moment of a revocation and, where replacement is not delivered on time, compensation at the tier stated in your work order.
What it does not mean. The guarantee is contractual, not automatic: it takes effect when it is expressly elected in your signed work order, which names the Guarantee Schedule version and compensation tier that govern. It does not cover suspension or withdrawal caused by use of the space in breach of your agreement or applicable law. And where a holder's insolvency leads a registry to reclaim space, the compensation element is excused — the replacement, migration-assistance and refund obligations still stand.
Where it lives. Your signed work order and the Guarantee Schedule version named in it. Ask us for the current Schedule any time — we are happy to walk through it before you sign.
