# 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](https://github.com/spacesprotocol/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: ``` space-cli send 1000 --to @bob ``` 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.](https://github.com/spacesprotocol/sips/blob/main/sip-0002.mediawiki) You will be able to resolve spaces to [silent payment addresses](https://silentpayments.xyz/), [Nostr](https://nostr.com), [onion services](https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/) and more.
