A Brief Explanation of the Digital Name System and How it Works.
What makes up a Digital Name?
Digital Name looks like this: $James.mag, $PeterBowen, or $Storefront.
A Digital name is made up of 2 basic components. The first component is our unique identifier the dollar sign ($). The second component is the unique name chosen by the Digital Name owner.
Digital Names can be used for just about any cryptocurrency that has a public key. We will always be adding more cryptocurrency symbols as they become available. Cryptocurrency operators may contact us to have their coin or token added to our list of supported cryptocurrencies.
Using a Digital Name
When sending a supported cryptocurrency from a participating crypto wallet application, you will be given the option to send cryptocurrency to a public key or to a Digital Name.
The wallet application will look up the public key or wallet address associated to the Digital Name in the background. The wallet application will call out to our system using a simple API call, to retrieve the correct public key or wallet address that will be used for the given Digital Name and cryptocurrency that is about to be sent.
