Developer builds free stateless naming system to replace DNS
A developer created Kinetic, a stateless, zero-fee, peer-to-peer naming system that lets anyone claim a decentralized domain without a bank account or cryptocurrency. It uses Proof of Time via Verifiable Delay Functions and Proof of Burn, requiring only a few seconds of computer time. The open-source project is built with Rust, WebAssembly, and a browser extension.

While Kinetic offers a clever technical solution to domain access inequality, its real-world adoption faces the classic chicken-and-egg problem of any new naming system.
