nft-ns

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) based Name Service

Overview

Non-Fungible Tokens are great way to represent unique objects. They can be also grouped, transfered, burned, which makes them good candidate for implementing name service - resolving name to SLP address and the reverse - address to name.

DevCon3 Goals

Two CLI application:

• Management Application (Register):

  • add new TLD domain (example: .bch, .cash etc.) - sure uniqueness
  • list domains - TLDs only, some TLD domains
  • register user domain inside TLD (example: zhekov.bch)

• Name service resolver:

  • return SLP address for given name
  • return name for given SLP address

Implementation

Used packages:

• Oclif: Node.JS Open CLI Framework
• bch-js Javascript BCH library
• Oclif CLI IO

The Name service is implemented as two separate independent tools:

• nft-ns-admin - Administration tool (Register):

  • Create new TLD register
  • List all TLDs
  • List user names in givel TLD
  • Register new name in given TLD
  • Transfer user name to different owner

  For more details see nft-ns-admin documentation

• nft-ns-query - Query tool (Resolver):

  • Resolve name to SLP address
  • Reverse resolve SLP address to name

  For more details see nft-ns-query documentation

Future plans

• Web interface (at least to check for existance, register and list domains)
• Change slp-cli-wallet wallet to support the name based tokens send
• Meta information (profile picture etc.) for each name - maybe saved to IPFS
