Namecoin is an open-source, Bitcoin-based key/value registration and transfer system that records names and associated data on a blockchain. It operates decentralized .bit DNS and identity-related infrastructure intended to improve censorship resistance, privacy, security, and speed for Internet naming. The project provides downloadable Namecoin Core clients, ncdns software for resolving .bit domains, and documentation for name owners, wallets, mining, and TLS integration.
