Description
Bitcoin has established itself as a reliable store of value protocol, while Stacks aims to demonstrate that it can serve as the foundation for a user-owned internet. By introducing scalable transactions and dynamic smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem, Stacks effectively utilizes Bitcoin's substantial $1 trillion capital. The registration of .BTC domains occurs through a smart contract on Stacks, which is secured by the Bitcoin network. This contract features a decentralized name registry developed in Clarity language, where ownership of each .BTC name is encoded as a hash on the Bitcoin blockchain. Instead of overwhelming the Bitcoin blockchain with individual name registrations, numerous Stacks transactions can be consolidated into a single transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain. The web bridge enables btc.us to function as a top-level domain, affording users the ability to create personal subdomains. While the web bridge operates as a centralized service, the .BTC names themselves remain decentralized. Looking ahead, enhancements to .btc resolution in web browsers could significantly improve user experience and accessibility. This evolution could lead to a more integrated and efficient use of Bitcoin as a foundational element of the web.
Description
You can anchor an infinite amount of data to the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring both the verification of data integrity and its existence without needing to depend on a trusted intermediary. Chainpoint achieves this by linking a hash of your data to the blockchain and providing a timestamp proof. When a Chainpoint Node receives hashes, they are aggregated in a structure known as a Merkle tree, with the root of this tree published through a Bitcoin transaction. The resulting Chainpoint proof outlines specific operations that create a cryptographic connection between your data and the Bitcoin blockchain. Additionally, each Chainpoint proof includes the necessary information to confirm that a hash of the data is securely anchored to the blockchain, thereby demonstrating that the data was present at the time of anchoring. This innovative system allows for the verification of Chainpoint proofs independently, without relying on a trusted third party. By utilizing this technology, users gain confidence in the authenticity and permanence of their data.
