✊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.
