starname

Starname is a blockchain-based naming service that provides human-readable identifiers for cryptocurrency addresses and on-chain resources. By registering a starname, a user can map one or more blockchain addresses and associated data to a single, easy-to-remember name, reducing the need to share long public keys during transfers or when interacting with wallets and dApps.

The service is designed to be user-owned and interoperable across multiple blockchains supported by the platform. Names are controlled by the owner through cryptographic keys, and can be used to receive funds, initiate transactions, or identify a wallet within compatible software.

Starname exists within the broader ecosystem of blockchain naming systems, alongside projects such as Ethereum Name Service and Unstoppable Domains. Its adoption depends on wallet and exchange support, cross-chain compatibility, and ongoing development of the resolution system. Like other on-chain naming schemes, it raises considerations around privacy, security of key management, and potential fragmentation if not widely adopted. As with other evolving naming services, practical use hinges on continued development, interoperability, and community adoption.
