XNAME Omnichain DNS

In the XSTAR decentralized identity system, every person has a unique, human-readable Omni-chain Domain Name (XNAME) as their primary identifier for their cross-chain identity. This design philosophy stems from a basic understanding: everyone has their own name, and blockchain addresses, as people's "residences" in the Web3 world, should also have an easy-to-remember and meaningful name. While enabling users to prove their uniqueness and humanity anonymously via zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving cryptography in Stage 3.

Anonymously verifying in seconds that they are a unique human through the XSTAR App. By utilizing Arweave's decentralized storage (Stage 2), XSTAR enables users to maintain control over their information, ensuring data is securely stored and managed without reliance on centralized servers. The integration of zkproofs (Stage 3) further enhances user privacy by allowing users to prove their identity without revealing any personal information.

Traditional blockchain addresses are usually long strings of random letters and numbers, which are difficult to remember and use. XNAME provides a more user-friendly approach, allowing users to choose a short, meaningful name, such as "alice.base" or "bob.zk", as their unified identifier across multiple blockchain networks. This greatly simplifies the cognitive burden on users and enhances the user experience.

More importantly, XNAME is not just an alias for an address; it is also an essential label for personality identification. In our product design, XNAME is closely associated with the user's decentralized identity (DID) and carries multi-dimensional identity elements such as personal information, reputation data, and social graph. This makes XNAME a bridge connecting users' on-chain identities with their off-chain real-world identities.
