Squarespace does not support root level CNAMEs, you will need to use cloudflare's nameservers.

hey! tanks for the reply, i opened an account in cloud flare and updated both hn in squarespace.
when im adding the dns settings in cloudflare, do i need to add only 1 record with cname, @, and the value provided from railway? or should i add another record?

You would add the CNAME Railway has provided you with.
