startup-grade brand feel with short and natural cadence
Score suggests a weak resale profile. Unless you have a specific end-user in mind, the carrying cost outweighs the upside.

The SLD "opal" gives opal.ink built-in semantic weight, which shifts the domain's value toward exact-match search demand. The 4-character length is premium territory; domains this short in established TLDs rarely reach open registration without being caught immediately. Vowel-heavy and smooth to say aloud. A .ink address keeps the cost base low but also caps the upside — most serious buyers will weigh it against a .com equivalent. No Wayback snapshots exist for this address, which typically means prior owners never developed a public site. DQS 48/100 is the mid-band: the domain has real signals behind it but isn't an obvious standout. Mid-band names reward buyers who understand a specific niche. The domain is currently in the Redemption Grace Period — the original owner retains the right to restore for roughly 24 more days. It is not available to register today. The signals are mixed enough that we'd only recommend the name to someone who already has a concrete use for it rather than as a speculative play.

Social handle availability
A 404 on the profile page means the handle is free to claim. Grabbing matching handles at registration time is cheap insurance against impersonation + easier brand rollout later.
