What is Evmos Domains?

Evmos Domains is the decentralized name service for linking the Evmos. Evmos Domains lets you register your own human-readable .evmos domain names that link, or "resolve", to addresses on the Evmos blockchain. Since this resolution system works for any data, and not just addresses, you can also link your name to avatars, social media links, IPFS content hashes, and even other names. Each registered name is an ERC721 NFT, so you truly own your name, and can store, trade, & transfer it like any other NFT.

Evmos Domains has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Evmos blockchain. Like DNS, Evmos Domains operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains. Because of the hierarchal nature of Evmos Domains, anyone who owns a domain at any level may configure subdomains - for themselves or others - as desired. For instance, if Alice owns "alice.evmos", she can create 'pay.alice.evmos' and configure it as she wishes.
