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."
