Namecoin
Namecoin is an experimental open-source technology that improves the decentralization, security, censorship resistance, privacy, and speed of certain components of the Internet infrastructure such as DNS and identities. (For the technically minded, Namecoin is a key/value pair registration and transfer system based on Bitcoin technology.) Namecoin was the first fork of Bitcoin and still is one of the most innovative “altcoins”. It was first to implement merged mining and a decentralized DNS. Namecoin was also the first solution to Zooko’s Triangle, the long-standing problem of producing a naming system that is simultaneously secure, decentralized, and human-meaningful. Protect free-speech rights online by making the web more resistant to censorship. Attach identity information such as GPG and OTR keys and email, Bitcoin, and Bitmessage addresses to an identity of your choice. Decentralized TLS (HTTPS) certificate validation, backed by blockchain consensus.

Unstoppable Domains
To send cryptocurrency, all you need to know is the recipient’s blockchain domain. Send bitcoin, ethereum, and any other cryptocurrency with just one domain. No more worrying about sending to the wrong address. Blockchain domains are owned not rented. Buy the domain with a one time registration fee and never worry about renewals again. The domain is stored in your wallet, just like a cryptocurrency. No one can move it around other than you. Point your domain to content on a decentralized storage network. The domain is stored in your cryptocurrency wallet and can be transferred by you after you claim the name on the blockchain with your wallet.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS)
No more sandboxed usernames. Own your username, store an avatar and other profile data, and use it across services. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is the most widely integrated blockchain naming standard. No more copying and pasting long addresses. Use your ENS name to store all of your addresses and receive any cryptocurrency, token, or NFT. Launch censorship-resistant decentralized websites with ENS. Upload your website to IPFS and access it with your ENS name. The native name suffix for ENS is .ETH, which has the full security benefits of being blockchain-native. You can also use ENS with DNS names you already own. ENS supports most DNS names. ENS has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Ethereum blockchain. Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains.
