Blockchain Naming System Community Group Proposed

The Blockchain Naming System Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

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.

--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#blockchain-names

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
