Flowns — a next-generation decentralized domain name service, built on top of the Flow network. It is a resource-based domain name service, based on the Cadence smart contract language. The resource model in Flow makes the Flowns service flexible and extensible, and more use cases can be created, based on the NFT domain name asset.
About the Flowns project
It is not only a domain service, but also a protocol for discovering personal data and assets in the digital world. Readable names and identifiers in a data-rich network are an indispensable infrastructure in the digital world. Domain names are indexes and profiles for owners.
The Flowns domain can store more information and assets on-chain, after which it becomes its own personalized expression. In the future of blockchain applications and data explosion, we still need an open diversified digital identity service.
Other features:
| 1 | The team defines an open protocol for data and assets that allows any type of resource/asset to be invested in the NFT domain. |
| 2 | Domain assets become meta assets, defined by both users and developers. |
In the Flow network, Flowns domain assets allocate storage entirely to the user's account, and the user can keep their domain but not use it. Even if a domain has expired, Flowns cannot destroy or revoke it without permission, so the domain is still under the user's control. This means that the domain resource will exist forever. This is the ownership of assets, protected by Flow networks and encryption algorithms. Users do not need the Flowns service to define and manage their domain's NFT. All operations are performed by the users themselves.
More about the work of defi app
The cost of renting a domain will cost from 0.3₣ to 40₣ per year, depending on the length of the domain name. A domain owner can renew their domain at any time after it expires. Expired domain resources are not restored, but marked as inactive and available for registration by Flowns. As soon as another user registers an expired domain, Flowns will create a new NFT domain for the new user. The original domain resource will be marked as obsolete in the Flowns service.
