What is a deed on Square Town?

No login, no password reset. A deed is a link, and the link is the ownership.

A deed (on Square Town) is the secret URL issued the moment you buy a square. It is the only proof of ownership — Square Town (square.pov.town) has no accounts, no login and no password reset — and it doubles as your dashboard: the deed page shows your square, its position, and its lifetime views, clicks and kisses. A one-time $5 unlocks per-day view and click charts on that deed. Lose the URL and it is gone, like real crypto.

TL;DR: deed = square.pov.town/deed.html?token=…. Bookmark it. The "My deeds" button remembers deeds bought in this browser, nothing more.

How it works on Square Town#

Every purchase creates a listing with a random deed token. After Stripe checkout you land on the wall with a toast — "Yours forever! Save your deed" — linking to the deed page, and the token is stored in this browser's local storage so the 📜 My deeds button can list it later. That's a convenience, not an account: clear the browser or switch devices and only the bookmarked link gets you back.

The deed page reads GET /api/deed/:token and shows the domain, coordinates, status (paid or evicted), price paid, and three counters: views (someone opened your square's card on the wall, counted once per browser session), clicks (someone followed your link through /go/:id), and kisses. Paying $5 once, on the deed page, flips analytics on forever: a per-day table of views and clicks. If you get evicted, the deed still opens and still shows what the square collected — you just no longer hold the cell. Prices: Pricing — $1 a square, one time, forever*.

Where else it appears#

Most walls tie ownership to something else. As of August 2026, Link for a Dollar verifies buyers by email domain; PixelGrid (1mpixelwall.com) has a "My Pixels" area; NFT walls like Million Dollar Token Page put ownership in a crypto wallet. Square Town's deed is closer to a bearer token: whoever holds the link holds the square. That is also why Square Town can run with no accounts, no emails and no personal data beyond what Stripe needs for the card.

Example#

You buy (505, 498) for $1, bookmark the deed and go to bed. A week later the deed says views 41, clicks 9, kisses 3. You pay $5 and see that 7 of the 9 clicks came on the day your project was on a newsletter. Six weeks later the deed says evicted: someone paid $2. The numbers stay; the square doesn't.

FAQ#

What if I lose my deed URL?#

It's gone. There is no account, email or password reset that can recover it — that's the trade-off for a wall with no sign-up. Bookmark it, and use "My deeds" as a backup on the browser you bought from.

Does the deed prove ownership to anyone else?#

Only to Square Town. It isn't a legal document; see What is internet real estate?.

What does the $5 analytics unlock add?#

Per-day views and clicks for that one square, forever, on its deed page. Lifetime totals are free.

Can I transfer or sell my deed?#

There's no built-in transfer, but the deed is a link — whoever you give it to has what you have.
