Why V2 Matters

  1. Empowering the Community

    • With the ability to hold multiple names and create custom namespaces, users and businesses now have unmatched flexibility and control.

    • Custom namespaces like .brand enable businesses to build unique customer-facing solutions (e.g., user.brand).

  2. Fueling Ecosystem Growth

    • Simplified integration for dApps and marketplaces means broader adoption of BNS across the Stacks ecosystem.

    • Wallets like Leather and Xverse already leverage V2 improvements, ensuring a better user experience.

  3. Strengthening Bitcoin's Web3 Identity

    • BNS aligns Web3 identity with Bitcoin, the most trusted blockchain, offering a scalable alternative to Ethereum-based solutions like ENS.

    • By leveraging Bitcoin’s security and Stacks’ smart contracts, BNS becomes a powerful tool for decentralized identity.

  4. Democratizing Namespaces

    • Namespace creation removes reliance on centralized control, opening opportunities for individuals, brands, and organizations to participate in the ecosystem.

    • This ensures BNS remains decentralized and accessible for everyone.

  5. Future-Ready Infrastructure

    • With V2 as a hard fork of the original BNS core contract, the foundation is set for future upgrades.
