Namecoin Description
Namecoin is an open-source technology that improves decentralization, security and privacy. Namecoin, a key/value pairing registration and transfer system that uses Bitcoin technology, is for the technically minded. Namecoin was the first Bitcoin fork and is still one of the most innovative "altcoins" around. Namecoin was the first to implement merged miners and a decentralized DNS. Namecoin was also the first to solve Zooko's Triangle, a long-standing problem of creating a naming system that is both secure, decentralized and human-meaningful. Protect free speech rights online by making it more difficult to censor. Attach identity information such a GPG and OTR keys, email, Bitcoin and Bitmessage addresses, to an identity of choice. Certificate validation for decentralized TLS (HTTPS), backed by blockchain consensus.

RIF Name Service
For those who are not technically able to use the internet, ease of use is crucial. If users have to copy and paste long addresses in hexadecimal to transfer or receive digital assets, it's difficult for the system to be adopted. The complexity of the system can be greatly reduced by adding a name resolution services. RIF Name Service (RNS), which allows Aliases to be used, makes it easy and intuitive to use blockchain technology, encouraging mass adoption. RNS is used across RIF Payments and RIF Storage. It also provides seamless experiences for end users. Blockchain interoperability plays a key role in the success of the ecosystem. RNS is the first cross-platform naming service for all major blockchains, including Bitcoin and Litecoin. It is built on top of RSK and inherits Bitcoin's security and decentralize nature. RSK Partners can benefit by the RNS protocol through issuing subdomains.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS)
No more sandboxed user names. You can own your username, store avatar data and use it across all services. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is the most widely used blockchain naming standard. No more pasting long addresses. To store all your addresses and receive any cryptocurrency token or NFT, use your ENS name. ENS allows you to create censorship-resistant, decentralized websites. Upload your website to IPFS, and you can access it using your ENS name. .ETH is the native suffix for ENS. This has all the security benefits of being blockchain-native. ENS can be used with DNS names that you already own. ENS supports all DNS names. ENS is similar to DNS, the Internet's Domain Name Service. However, ENS has a significantly different architecture because of the limitations and capabilities provided by the Ethereum blockchain. ENS works on a system with dot-separated hierarchical domains called domains. The domain owner has full control over all subdomains.

Handshake
An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system. Handshake is a permissionless, decentralized naming protocol in which every peer validates and is responsible for managing the root DNS zone. This protocol is intended to be an alternative to existing certificate authorities or naming systems. Names on the Internet (top-level domains and social networking handles) The internet relies on centralized actors who have full control over the system. They are susceptible to hacking, censorship and corruption. Handshake is an experiment to see if the internet can be made more secure, resilient, socially useful, and with a peer-to–peer system that is validated by its participants. Handshake is an experiment to discover new ways to create a more decentralized internet. Although services on the internet have become more centralized since the 1990s, they still fulfill the original decentralized vision.
