Packet Network has made waves in the tech industry with the launch of a groundbreaking blockchain-based domain name system (DNS) called PKT DNS. This innovative system offers registered domain names that are seamlessly accessible from all web browsers without the need for any special software or browser extensions. This move heralds a new era of open, free, and censorship-resistant DNS that connects blockchain domains to the public internet.
One of the key features of PKT DNS is its use of a third-level subdomain system, where users can select a name to precede the .pkt second-level domain. This approach ensures that domains registered on PKT DNS have public DNS access across more than 55 top-level domains associated with PKT DNS. This seamless integration with existing internet infrastructure simplifies usability for general internet users, eliminating the need for additional software installations.
Unlike traditional DNS systems that require upfront fees and annual renewal costs, PKT DNS offers domain ownership for life with no upfront or renewal fees. Domain owners on PKT DNS enjoy full control over their domains, including the ability to create unlimited subdomains and customize DNS records to suit their needs.
Registering a domain on PKT DNS involves staking a small amount of PKT cryptocurrency on the Base blockchain. This stake creates a non-fungible token (NFT) that serves as a digital receipt connecting the registered domain to the blockchain. Domain registrants retain control over their domains as long as the NFT remains in their possession, with the option to transfer ownership by transferring the NFT to another party.
To mitigate potential misuse and ensure responsible operation, PKT DNS has implemented measures such as blacklisting domains to deter cybercriminal activity and providing flexibility for infrastructure operators to resolve blacklisted domains. The system also features managed oversight to safeguard against risks until a decentralized governance system is established, striking a balance between innovation and responsible operation.
PKT DNS’s unique integration with the public DNS system sets it apart from previous blockchain-based DNS projects that required users to install specialized software. By leveraging public subdomain technology and a decentralized staking system, PKT DNS enhances accessibility and adoption, offering domain registrants a community-driven internet infrastructure that is resistant to censorship and corporate control.
Packet Network, the brains behind PKT DNS, is a decentralized media network designed to empower global content creators and provide an alternative to traditional, corporate-controlled networks. As a decentralized physical infrastructure project, Packet Network supports global content accessibility, digital distribution, and e-commerce through its innovative technologies and platforms.
PKT, the native cryptocurrency of Packet Network built on the Base blockchain, uses a Stake-to-Earn protocol to incentivize individuals to run the network’s infrastructure and scale it globally. Leveraging the open-source cjdns mesh networking protocol, Packet Network enables users to access the internet peer-to-peer, bypassing the need for traditional internet service providers (ISPs).
For those looking to explore the possibilities of PKT DNS and register their domains, the Packet Network website offers detailed information and resources to get started on this revolutionary decentralized domain name system.
