About

What can Namecoin be used for?

  • Protect free-speech rights online by making the web more resistant to censorship.

  • Attach identity information such as GPG and OTR keys and email, Bitcoin, and Bitmessage addresses to an identity of your choice.

  • Human-meaningful Tor .onion domains.

  • Decentralized TLS (HTTPS) certificate validation, backed by blockchain consensus.

  • Access websites using the .bit top-level domain.

  • Proposed ideas such as file signatures, voting, bonds/stocks/shares, web of trust, notary services, and proof of existence. (To be implemented.)
