Tezos Domains Airdrop Review: Friendly NamesNow on Tezos

About Tezos Domains

Tezos Domains allows you to associate domain names like alice.tez with addresses like tz1VBLpuDKMoJuHRLZ4HrCgRuiLpEr7zZx2E and other information. Domains can be used to associate an address, share an avatar, publish contact information and more. Wallets and other projects in the ecosystem will let you use domain names directly instead of addresses and show domain names where Tezos addresses would be normally.

Tezos Domains Airdrop is a distributed, open and extensible naming system using the Tezos blockchain.The main function is to translate a meaningful and user-friendly alias to it’s corresponding Tezos address and vice versa. This translation is globally consistent so that all users see the same address for a given alias.

Decentralized Web

The long term plan for Tezos Domains includes allowing websites to be built on Tezos Domains using decentralized content hosting like IPFS. This could serve as an alternative to traditional centralized solutions (i.e. DNS with centralized content hosting). Please stay tuned for futher updates on this.

Associated Information

The information you can currently associate with your domain include:

• Your Tezos address
• Avatar
• Nickname
• E-mail
• Website
• Physical Address

Once you register your domain, you will be able to change this data in the domain details screen.

Subdomains

By registering a domain you get control of your own personal namespace. You can create any number of subdomains and use it for different purposes. For example when owning acme.tez, the owner could create a structure like this:

• ???? acme.tez – the domain registered initially
  • ???? alice.acme.tez – an address owned by Alice
  • ???? bob.acme.tez – an address owned by Bob

Reverse Records

Reverse record allow other users to see your registered domain instead of your long Tezos address. Reverse records can be set up from your domain details screen.
