--------------------
Explore blockchain based naming system used to name wallets and other
objects stored in blockchains, such as non-fungible tokens.

Blockchain elements are referred to by a long hexadecimal string. Just
like IPv6 addresses, those are hard to remember. Creating human-friendly
names that resolve to those strings was deemed an important step for the
early adoption of blockchain technologies. Early blockchain developers
did not develop DNS extensions for that purpose. They created entirely
new alternative naming systems based on the particular blockchain they
were working on. 
We are exploring all options for a unified web based solution to the
problem.
