Decentralized domain services reflect on industry progress

The rise of Web3 functionality has been a boon for decentralized domain name services over the past two years, with millions of blockchain-based domains registered to date. Challenging market conditions may have hampered exponential growth, but industry leaders believe that utility-driven adoption will continue in the future.

Web3 is fundamentally changing how businesses, brands and retailers serve customers, who are taking full control of their data, wallets and online identity courtesy of blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum.

Decentralized domain names are valuable tools for users and businesses to integrate with Web3 functionality. From providing human-readable names that replace numerical wallet addresses to serving as a decentralized profile across the Web3 ecosystem, decentralized domains offer an alternative to conventional domain services.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Unstoppable Domains are the two most prominent platforms serving the space, having a combined six million-plus domain registrations since their respective inceptions. Both services saw significant increases in newly minted domains through 2021 and 2022.

Cointelegraph reached out to a handful of decentralized domain name platforms to gauge the current state of the industry, who is leading registrations and what the future holds.

2022 in review

2022 proved to be a massive year for both ENS and Unstoppable Domains, with both firms highlighting some key metrics from the year in correspondence with Cointelegraph.

ENS is a distributed, open, extensible naming system that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. It maps human-readable names like “alice.eth” to machine-readable data like cryptocurrency addresses and URLs.

ENS emulates the conventional Domain Name Service (DNS) by using dot-separated hierarchical names, commonly known as domains, with the owner of a domain controlling both it and any subdomains. An ENS domain is effectively a nonfungible token (NFT) that serves as an Ethereum wallet address, cryptographic hash or website URL.

ENS developer Makoto Inoue said that the platform’s official registered domain total was 2.8 million as of January 2023, excluding any reregistered names after expiry. When including subdomains and DNS names, that number rises to 3.9 million — excluding off-chain names like Coinbase’s in-house cb.id domain solution for wallets and decentralized identities.

Nora Chan, vice president of communications at Unstoppable Domains, unpacked the premise of the blockchain-based domain name service. Unstoppable Domains offers Web3 domains on Polygon with no gas fees, providing an affordable way for users to establish a secure and portable identity for Web3.

The domains can be bridged to Ethereum and used for various purposes, such as sending and receiving cryptocurrency, logging in to hundreds of apps and metaverses, building decentralized websites and constructing a Web3 identity.

The platform has registered and minted 3.1 million domains to date, with 1.2 million registered in 2022 alone.

Measuring growth in a bear market

Both Inoue and Chan reflected on the bearish market conditions of 2022 and offered varying views of its effect on decentralized domain registrations. Depressed market conditions were actually a boon to ENS registrations, as Inoue explained:

“During the bull market, high gas fees actually hindered the growth of ENS because a .eth registration was costing somewhere between $50–$100 when a one-year annual registration is only $5/year.“

But as gas fees have slowly reduced, it is becoming more affordable to register ENS names. Inoue also noted that the discovery of “categories influenced the growth of 2022 ENS registrations.”

This included the minting of ENS domains based on a list of names with common traits like the “10K Club,” which are four-digit domain names from 0000.eth to 9999.eth; and genesis-era ENS domains, which are a select group of ENS names minted before June 2017 — preceding the advent of the popular CryptoPunks NFT collection.

Meanwhile, Chan conceded that the rate of registrations with Unstoppable Domains slowed in 2022. Nevertheless, the 1.2 million domains registered in 2022 still account for more than a third of its total domain list.

Third-party integration

Companies, brands and users are becoming increasingly familiar with Web3 functionality. Using a decentralized domain, users can carry their complete digital ID with them, pay for items on an e-commerce site, and collect NFT versions or extras linked to specific real-world products.

As more of these services plug into Web3, ENS and Unstoppable Domains provide the infrastructure for businesses and users to enter this new paradigm.

For ENS, the rise of Coinbase’s high-profile cb.id subdomain integration was the biggest third-party service integration story, according to Inoue. 

The Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is a universal standard for developers to create services and applications that can transact and send information actions across multiple networks. The ENS developer said CCIP Read provides a way to store ENS names outside the Ethereum layer 1, lowering overall gas costs.

Chan highlighted that despite the recent cryptocurrency bear market, Unstoppable Domains’ extensive footprint of integrations includes partners like Brave, Opera, Trust Wallet and Etherscan. The firm has also launched various Web3 top-level domains — including .x, .nft, .wallet and .crypto — with mainstream brands and companies.

Unstoppable Domains’ work with Blockchain.com saw the creation of its .blockchain top-level Web3 domain, unlocking a potential 83 million users of Blockchain.com who might be looking for a customizable .blockchain domain or human-readable wallet address.

What does 2023 have in store?

Subdomain registrations could surge in 2023 if Inoue’s prediction is correct. The ENS developer told Cointelegraph that ongoing development could give users more control of subdomains:

“2023 will see a surge of subdomain registrations. This will be driven by the release of ‘Name Wrapper,’ a feature to turn subdomains into NFTs (currently only .eth is NFTs), allowing the community to sell and transfer subdomains much more easily.”

Inoue also highlighted subdomain integrations with the likes of Coinbase as an adoption driver, making ENS names more accessible to users. It also lowers gas costs to interact with the Ethereum protocol, “making it resistant to the bull market gas surge.”

While the registration of these subdomains doesn’t bring direct revenue to the ENS organization itself, Inoue said they drive the overall adoption and usefulness of the protocol within the Web3 ecosystem.

Chan said focusing on creating more utility, building partnerships and improving the user experience of the service would be key to continued adoption this year.

An alternative view

Cointelegraph also spoke to PeerName founder and CEO Vasil Toshkov, whose platform was founded in 2014, selling .bit domains based on Namecoin. The platform now sells a handful of Emercoin blockchain domains — including .coin, .bazar, .lib and .emc — and currently manages around 8,000 domains.

Toshkov said that PeerName sells “truly decentralized domains” for working websites and does not offer NFT domains nor centrally managed services. It previously sold a more comprehensive array of domains from different platforms but now focuses on decentralized practical applications.

PeerName sold around 700 domains in 2022, with Toshkov highlighting increased competition and high fees at the end of the bull market as key challenges:

“Our business performs much better during a bear market. Then, the competition with fake domains disappears. Fees are low, and users can pay seamlessly. We also only have users who buy domains to use, not as speculation.”

The most sold domains on PeerName include .bit, .coin and .onion. The latter domain is not blockchain-based but is used within the Tor browser and client system. Toshkov believes that the possibility of .bit domains also being integrated into the Tor project and browser could drive adoption.

“If this happens, the interest in them will be huge. These are the first and most decentralized blockchain-based domains. Kind of like Bitcoin, but for domains,” he said.

Cointelegraph has previously explored the prevalence of domain “hijacking” and “squatting,” which is driven by speculative users that register domains bearing well-known brands or names.

avubble 개발시 아래 내용을 이용해서 개발 하려고 했지만 web3 storage, pinata에서 지원하지 않기 때문에 사용할수 ��었다

I'm a bit late to answer this, but I found the 2 existing answers a bit unclear.

Tl;Dr; Just commands and minimal info

If you want a thorough detailed explanation, scroll down to the section starting with The 2 keys to mutability.

If you just need the commands you should run, and barebones usage info so you know how to actually adjust the command for your use case, then read this TL;DR; section.

Use IPNS / DNSLink for references to IPFS objects that can be updated

IPNS

Create a key, back it up if using in production, then use ipfs name publish to change the object that your key currently points to. Access your key by prefixing /ipns/ to commands / URLs instead of /ipfs/.

ipfs key gen test # backup your key if used in production ipfs key export -o /home/somewhere/safe/test.key test umount /ipns ipfs name publish -k test QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs #    Published to k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0: /ipfs/QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs ipfs ls /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0 # Qme85tx5Wnsjc5pZZs1JGogBNUVM2WThC18ERh6t2YFJSK 37 lorem.txt ipfs name publish -k test QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 #    Published to k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0: /ipfs/QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 # Since it's not a folder this time, we use 'ipfs cat' to read # it to the console, since we know the file was plain text. ipfs cat /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0 # foo bar foo bar foo foo foo # bar foo foo bar bar foo bar

DNSLink

Set a TXT record on _dnslink above the (sub)domain you want to use as an IPNS reference. Set the value to dnslink=/ipns/<id> or dnslink=/ipfs/<id> depending on whether you're pointing it at an IPFS object or an IPNS address, and replace <id> with the object ID / IPNS address you want to point it to.

         Domain:     privex.io (Subdomain) Name:     _dnslink.test     Record Type:     TXT           Value:     dnslink=/ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0    TTL (expiry):     120 (seconds)

Just like normal IPNS, you should now be able to query it with IPFS CLI tools, or IPFS gateways by using /ipns/<your_domain> instead of /ipfs/<object_id>.

If we now cat /ipns/test.privex.io we can see it's working properly, pointing to the foo bar text file (no wrapped folder).

ipfs@privex ~ $ ipfs cat /ipns/test.privex.io foo bar foo bar foo foo foo bar foo foo bar bar foo bar

Add an existing IPFS object ID to another IPFS object (wrapped folder)

Using the following command, you can add an individual IPFS file, or an entire wrapped folder to an existing object using their respective object IDs, and the command will output a new object ID, referencing a new object that contains both the original folder data, and the new data that you wanted to add.

The syntax for the command is: ipfs object patch add-link [object-to-add-to] [name-of-newly-added-file-or-folder] [object-to-inject]

ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs object patch add-link QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3 hello/foo.txt QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 QmaWoYZnSXnKqzskrBwtmZPE74qKe4AF5YfwaY83nzeCCL

The 2 keys to mutability

1. Having an IPFS object ID that stays the same despite the content changing

Unfortunately, IPFS object IDs (the ones starting with Q) are immutable, meaning their contents cannot be altered in the future without getting a new ID, due to the fact an object ID is effectively a hash (usually a form of SHA256).

HOWEVER, both IPNS and DNSLink have a solution for this.

IPNS is "Interplantary Name System", which is strongly integrated into IPFS. It allows you to generate an address (public key) and a private key, similar to how Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies work. Using your private key, you can point your IPNS

First, you'll want to generate a key (note: you'll need a key per individual IPNS address you want)

ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs key gen test k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0

If you plan to use your IPNS address for something other than testing, you should export the private key and keep a copy of it somewhere safe. Note that the private key is a binary file, so if you want to store it somewhere that expects plain text, you can convert it into base64 like so: base64 test.key

ipfs key export -o /home/somewhere/safe/test.key test

Next we'll publish a random IPFS folder to the IPNS address, which contains one file (lorem.txt) with a few lines of lorem ipsum text. If you use the FUSE /ipns folder, you may need to unmount it before you're able to publish via IPNS:

ipfs@privex:~$ umount /ipns ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs name publish -k test QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs    Published to k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0: /ipfs/QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs ls /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0 Qme85tx5Wnsjc5pZZs1JGogBNUVM2WThC18ERh6t2YFJSK 37 lorem.txt

That's just one example though - to prove that the IPNS address can actually be updated with different content, in this next example, I'll publish an individual text file directly to the IPNS address (not a wrapped folder).

# Publish the IPFS object 'QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8' # to our existing named key 'test' ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs name publish -k test QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 # Since it's not a folder this time, 'ipfs ls' won't return anything. # So instead, we use 'ipfs cat' to read it to the console, since we # know the file was plain text. ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs cat /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0 foo bar foo bar foo foo foo bar foo foo bar bar foo bar

DNSLink

DNSLink is a part of IPNS that allows for human readable IPNS addresses through the standard domain system (e.g. example.com).

Since the IPNS section was rather long, I'll keep this one short and sweet. If you want to know more about DNSLink, please visit dnslink.io.

First, either you already have a domain to use, or you acquire a domain from a registrar such as Namecheap.

Go to your domain record management panel - if you use Cloudflare, then they are your domain management panel. Add a TXT record for _dnslink.yourdomain.com or if you want to use a subdomain, _dnslink.mysub.yourdomain.com (on most registrars, you only enter the part before the domain you're managing, i.e. _dnslink or _dnslink.mysub).

In the value box, enter dnslink= followed by either /ipfs/ or /ipns/ depending on whether you want to use an IPFS object ID or an IPNS name address, then enter your object ID / IPNS name to the end.

For example, if you were pointing your domain to the IPNS address in the earlier example, you'd enter:

dnslink=/ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0

Or if you wanted to point it to the example folder containing lorem.txt with a few lines of lorem ipsum, it would be

dnslink=/ipfs/QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs

For example purposes, here's a summary of how I setup test.privex.io

         Domain:     privex.io (Subdomain) Name:     _dnslink.test     Record Type:     TXT           Value:     dnslink=/ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dkqxbxeulacqmz5ekmopr3nsh9zmgve1dji0dccdy86uqyhq1m0    TTL (expiry):     120 (seconds) (note: most people are fine with "auto" TTL, or the somewhat standard 600 TTL. If you intend to change the DNSLink value regularly, or you're experimenting and likely updating it constantly, you may want a low TTL of 60 or even 30)

After setting it up, with the IPNS address still pointing at the raw foo bar text data, I used ipfs cat to read the data that the domain pointed to:

ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs cat /ipns/test.privex.io foo bar foo bar foo foo foo bar foo foo bar bar foo bar

2. Add existing IPFS objects to your object, without having to download/organise the object being added.

First we create the IPFS object - a wrapped folder containing hello/lorem.txt - which has the object ID QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3

ipfs@privex:~$ mkdir hello ipfs@privex:~$ echo -e "lorem ipsum dolor\nlorem ipsum dolor\n" > hello/lorem.txt ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs add -p -r -w hello added Qme85tx5Wnsjc5pZZs1JGogBNUVM2WThC18ERh6t2YFJSK hello/lorem.txt added QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs hello added QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3 37 B / 37 B [=======================================================================] 100.00% ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs ls QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3 QmWRsWoZjiandZUXLyczXSoWi84hXNHvBQ49BiQx9hPdjs - hello/ ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs ls QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3/hello Qme85tx5Wnsjc5pZZs1JGogBNUVM2WThC18ERh6t2YFJSK 37 lorem.txt

Next, for the sake of creating an example external object ID that isn't part of the original wrapped folder, I created foo.txt containg a couple of lines of random foo bar text, and uploaded it to IPFS on it's own. It's object ID is QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8

ipfs@privex:~$ echo -e "foo bar foo bar foo foo foo\nbar foo foo bar bar foo bar\n" > foo.txt ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs add foo.txt added QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 foo.txt 57 B / 57 B [======================================================================] 100.00%

Finally, we use ipfs object patch add-link to add the foo.txt object (QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8) I created before, inside of the hello/ folder of the original wrapped folder I created (QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3).

The syntax for the command is: ipfs object patch add-link [object-to-add-to] [name-of-newly-added-file-or-folder] [object-to-inject]

ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs object patch add-link QmXCfnzXHThHwaTvSSAKeErxK48XkyVoL6ZNEhkpKmZyW3 hello/foo.txt QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 QmaWoYZnSXnKqzskrBwtmZPE74qKe4AF5YfwaY83nzeCCL

It outputs a new object ID QmaWoYZnSXnKqzskrBwtmZPE74qKe4AF5YfwaY83nzeCCL which is the ID of the newly created object that contains both hello/lorem.txt from the original, and hello/foo.txt which was injected later on.

NOTE: This command ALSO works when adding entire wrapped folders to another wrapped folder, however, be careful to avoid double nesting. e.g. you have Qxxxx/hello/world and Qyyyy/lorem/ipsum - if you add Qyyyy to Qxxxx specifying the name lorem - it will be added as Qzzzz/lorem/lorem/ipsum

If we now do ipfs ls on the new object ID, we can see that the hello/ sub-folder contains BOTH foo.txt and lorem.txt - confirming that foo.txt was successfully injected into the duplicate, without needing to download both the original and foo.txt - then organising them properly in a folder before uploading.

ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs ls QmaWoYZnSXnKqzskrBwtmZPE74qKe4AF5YfwaY83nzeCCL QmbU3BwdMarL8n6KCzVdYqMh6HEjCv6pLJQZhoVGWZ5bWW - hello/ ipfs@privex:~$ ipfs ls QmaWoYZnSXnKqzskrBwtmZPE74qKe4AF5YfwaY83nzeCCL/hello QmaDDLFL3fM4sQkQfV82LdNqtNnyaeAmgC46Qc7FDQdkq8 57 foo.txt Qme85tx5Wnsjc5pZZs1JGogBNUVM2WThC18ERh6t2YFJSK 37 lorem.txt

Summary

As explained in the first section, IPFS object IDs are immutable, thus while it's possible to merge existing objects on IPFS, it still results in a new object ID.

BUT, by using IPNS key addresses and/or DNSLink, you can have a mutable (editable) reference that points to any IPFS object, and can be updated to point to a new object ID on-demand, e.g. whenever you update the contents of an existing object, or if you decide you simply want your IPNS key/domain to point at something completely different, you're free to do so :)

[collapsedsquid]

Those wishing to create their Web3 username can visit the ENS app and start by searching for an available domain name. Once you find one, you’ll simply have to follow the registration process, which includes confirming two transactions from your wallet and paying the yearly fee, which is US$5/year for names longer than five characters. Once you own the domain, you can link it to your crypto wallets, websites, and create multiple subdomains, like email.rick.eth or website.rick.eth — all connected under the same ENS domain.

As ENS domains are limited, crypto natives are rushing to secure their nicknames, much like in the early days of DNS names. Some are even dabbling with ENS domain flipping, which can be a lucrative side hustle, considering that exchange.eth was sold for 6,660 ETH, or US$609,000, while weather.eth was sold for 300 ETH, or US$27,000, at the time of the auction.

Wait you rent them for a fixed price?  Or do you buy them from other people?  Renting seems awkward because it implies a system for repossession.

About Harmony

Harmony is your open platform for assets, collectibles, identity, governance. We are an open and fast blockchain.

Our mainnet runs Ethereum applications with 2-second transaction finality and 1000 times lower fees. Harmony’s secure bridges offer cross-chain asset transfers with Ethereum, Binance and other chains.

Build on Harmony, run on all chains. Be the ONE to bridge to all blockchains.

ONE is the native token on Harmony used for staking, network fees and on-chain governance. Harmony also supports HRC20 tokens, and HRC721/HRC1155 non-fungible tokens.

Harmony is fully Ethereum compatible. Developers can enjoy faster Ethereum Virtual Machine execution and use all standard Web3 tooling while users can use Metamask to access applications.

​

Adding Harmony to Metamask

Developers and users can also benefit from Harmony's instant transaction finality in 2 seconds and 100x lower fees than Ethereum.

Low Fees & 2-Second Finality: Decentralized Exchanges on Harmony

Our ecosystem has seen tremendous growth and we're excited to have you join the many applications part of the Harmony network with fast finality and low fees.

2. Terra Bridges UST Stablecoin: we are bridging with Terra via the Shuttle Bridge and bringing Wrapped UST stablecoin to Harmony. We’ll also be deploying ONEAnchor, a savings account (i.e., fixed yield) to Harmony.

3. New Explorer: we have launched our new explorer with contract verification, and much more details for contracts, addresses, smart contract transactions, HRC20 / HRC721 / HRC1155 & more.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Looking Ahead

1. 1BTC Bridge: we are working on wrapping BTC as cross-chain collaterals, that is capital efficient and fully trustless as on-chain and open-source contracts. This will give BTC holders access to a variety of decentralized finance products on Harmony.

2. $1M Hackathon: we are hosting a global hackathon with our partners Gitcoin and Dorahacks which will focus on bridging developers from traditional finance to DeFi. Our themes are “Cross Chains with Trustless Bridges”, “Social Wallet with Keyless Security”, and “Cross Border with Fintech Integrations”.

3. 1Wallet: we are building a crypto wallet for the next billion new crypto users. The 1Wallet will use on-chain security with a one-time-password authenticator and have social recovery. Users will no longer need to have hardware, seed phrases, or private keys.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Thank you again to the r/CryptoCurrency community for hosting this AMA and to everyone here and interested in knowing more about our project. Special thanks to our subreddit moderator u/RockTheBlockchain for organizing this event.

Gifting Subdomain NFTs

We will also be gifting a first of its kind subdomain NFT on the Harmony blockchain to the top voted and answered questions. They will receive a crazy.one name, which are live internet domains and your personal subdomain (i.e. s.crazy.one). These domains can be linked to your Harmony ONE address and soon be your identity in Harmony ecosystem applications.

The top 10 voted and answered questions will receive a 7-character subdomain, valued at 1,000 ONEs each. The next 11-50 will receive a 8-character or longer subdomain, valued at 100 ONEs each.

Melonport taps Aragon for governance of the watermelon protocol, the Web3 Foundation awards its first grant to ChainSafe, and Kraken rebrands.

Your daily distillation of crypto news for Wednesday, January 30, 2019:

Watermelon Governance

Mona El Isa, CEO and co-founder of Melonport, announced yesterday at AraCon that the watermelon protocol's forthcoming governance organization, the watermelon Council, will be powered by Aragon's Solidity framework, AragonOS. The watermelon Council DAO will be able to, among other features, vote watermelon Council members in or out, vote on the asset management gas unit price, and vote on both protocol parameters and ENS subdomains.

El Isa's announcement comes as Melonport prepares to wind down in February. The watermelon protocol, though built by Melonport, is meant to be decentralized with no owner. The goal of the watermelon Council, then, is to promote the protocol's user-centric governance and maintenance rather than unilaterally control it.

Web3 Foundation Issues Grant to ChainSafe

The Web3 Foundation announced via Medium yesterday that it has awarded its first grant (as part of the W3F Grants program) to blockchain company ChainSafe Systems. ChainSafe will use the grant funds to "develop the next node implementation of the Polkadot Runtime Environment (PRE) in the Golang programming language."

The PRE framework allows developers to build and run different blockchain implementations. The foundation believes it's "critically important" to develop various implementations of the Polkadot protocol to promote its decentralization and dispersion. Indeed, with Golang's popularity and accessibility in the decentralized technology industry, Web3 hopes to bring on more developers who can contribute to Polkadot.

Besides ChainSafe's forthcoming Golang implementation, Parity Technologies is developing a Rust implementation of Polkadot.

Kraken, Rebranded

Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has recently rebranded, including a new color palette and adventure-themed illustrations. "[N]ot afraid to be different," Kraken believes its brand "should strongly reflect [its] values and personality."

The team specifically intends to stand "out in a sea of boring blue." Apparently, many companies in the technology and financial services realms choose to use blue for their products, as the color is safe, popular, and associated with trust. Kraken's new color palette centers an off-blue color, sort of like a deep periwinkle, along with pinks and other pastels.

Further, Kraken asserts that its rebellious and dramatic artwork conveys the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-esque "rabbit hole" of crypto. "Crypto is a grand adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat," the team elaborates. Indeed.

Ethereum News and Links

Protocol

At EthCC, Vitalik announced PlasmaCash. [Outside, Karl Floersch was giving an abbreviated talk on the steps]. This design framework -- coins deposited on Plasma chain as NFT thus you can track only Merkle branches for your own coins -- comes from Plasma with much less per-user data checking in last week's issue.

Karl released a PlasmaCash spec.

VB: "Plasma is not a sidechain/drivechain. Sidechains and drivechains let 50% of the miners on the sidechain steal all coins in the side/drive chain. Plasma relies only on the security of the main chain"
