Decentralized Names for Bitcoin

TNA provides Bitcoin name service with smart contract functionalities.

TNA names are human-readable names like 'satoshi.btc', that are mapped to wallet addresses across various networks within the Bitcoin Ecosystem, and linking to external identifiers such as IPFS content hashes or Twitter links.

TNA names also allow for continuous upgrades and the integration of smart contract functionalities tailored to specific needs. This makes TNA names dynamic assets with the potential for a wide range of use cases.

Why is a native naming service needed for Bitcoin?

Bitcoin, with its foundation as a decentralized currency and a store of value, would benefit significantly from a native naming mechanism. Implementing a user-friendly naming mechanism is crucial in diminishing complexities and encouraging broader adoption. Simplifying Bitcoin transactions for all users is essential, not only for improving payment processes and asset management but also as a fundamental component for various non-financial applications as the Bitcoin ecosystem expands.

Moreover, with the advent of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions that utilize Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, the complexity for users managing multiple network addresses and assets across different platforms increases. A native naming service like TNA can streamline this complexity by offering a unified, user-friendly interface for managing these diverse assets and addresses.

TNA's goal is to provide the Bitcoin ecosystem with a bespoke naming framework, meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of Bitcoin's infrastructure. This native naming service is designed to cater to the unique characteristics of Bitcoin and its evolving ecosystem, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and user experience within this space.

What are the potential utilities of TNA names?

TNA stands as an infrastructure, benefiting from substantial network effects, gaining increased value and utility as the Bitcoin ecosystem expands.

First and foremost, TNA names are Bitcoin native social assets, allowing users to build and maintain a reputation tied to a unique name, fostering trust and enabling social interactions within the Bitcoin community. As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, the potential applications and use cases for TNA names are expected to grow.

Potential Applications and Use Cases:

  • Identity Layer for the Bitcoin Ecosystem: As the Bitcoin network grows, TNA names, acting as a fundamental identity layer, will increasingly support a wide range of applications, becoming essential for navigation and interaction within the ecosystem.
