Name resolution
The Spaces protocol functions primarily as a Bitcoin certificate authority, minimizing on-chain footprint. Its trustless nature makes it an ideal foundation for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols that leverage spaces as trust anchors, enabling off-chain record storage and other use cases.
Fabric
Fabric is a trustless, distributed DNS resolver for spaces that enables Bitcoin-signed zone file publication on a permissionless DHT without on-chain storage. You can run a Fabric node to host records or pay others to "pin" your signed zone file.
Bitcoin Wallet Naming
The Spaces protocol currently offers experimental support for resolving spaces to payment addresses. You can experiment with this feature using the spaces wallet:
This command sends 1000 satoshis to the owner of the Space @bob.
Upcoming changes
We're in the process of formalizing the format for space records checkout SIP-02. You will be able to resolve spaces to silent payment addresses, Nostr, onion services and more.
