Flowns

Flowns is a new generation of decentralized domain name service built on Flow network. It is a resource-oriented domain name service based on Cadence smart contract language. The Resource model in Flow makes the Flowns service flexible and extensible, and based on the domain name NFT asset, we can generate more usage scenarios.

Flowns is not only a domain service, but also a protocol for opening identities and assets in digital world.

Readable names and rich-data on-chain identities are indispensable infrastructure in the digital world. Domain names are indexes and profile for owners. Flowns domain could store more information and assets on chain, then it becomes a personalized expressions of their own.

In the future of blockchain applications and data explosion, we still need an open diverse digital identity service.

We defines an open protocol for data and assets, allowing any type of resource/asset nesting in domain NFT. Domain assets become a meta-assets defined by both users and developers.

In Flow network, Flowns domain assets completely distribute storage in user's account, and the user can keep his domain but not use it. Even if the domain expired, Flowns cannot destroy or revoke it without permission, therefore the domain is still under the user's control. This means that the domain resource will exist forever.

It is the ownership of assets protected by Flow networks and encryption algorithms. Users do not need Flowns service to define and manage their domain NFT. All operations are performed by users themselves. By calling the NFT resources Capabilities of domain NFT to management and custom.
