Description
"The Open Name System (ONS) is a protocol that extends DNS by supporting the registration and resolution of:
- user handles on the blockchain (DNS for people)
- domains on the blockchain (decentralized DNS)
...all with full DNS backwards-compatibility.
ONS = ICANN DNS + blockchain handles + blockchain domains
ONS currently uses namecoin as a key-value store but the system is blockchain-agnostic."
