What Is SPACE ID and .bnb Domain?
SPACE ID is building a universal name service network designed to seamlessly connect people, information, assets, and applications across blockchains. It is chain-agnostic, decentralized, censorship-resistant, and open-source.
The .bnb domain, launched by SPACE ID, is the first iteration of the SPACE ID Name Service (SID) on BNB Chain. It enables users to:
- Replace traditional BNB Chain addresses with human-readable .bnb domains.
- Own Domain NFTs representing their domain ownership.
- Set custom records for enhanced usability across thousands of dApps in the BNB Chain ecosystem.
