Offline, your identity is the sum of your driving license, passport, and various membership cards. Online, your account, Instagram handle, and usernames you use for each SaaS product composes another identity. All of these identities are fragmented and must play by someone else’s “centralized” rules. To offer real choices and unify incompatible standards is to solve the problem – that’s why DIDs exist and why we’re excited to be building and improving on them with NameSpace IDs.
The namespace.gg framework enables anyone to spin up a custom name service for their DAO, protocol, or community. It’s an abstraction of the tooling in production for ANS, complete with minting, admin dashboard, and marketplace UIs.
Namespace is built on and everPay, meaning that addresses from any chain can be assigned identities and paid for in any token supported by everPay.
That means sovereign identity for communities, transacted with your community’s token.Each namespace is indexed by a master resolver, solving the fragmentation issue, and even extensible via Ark Protocol. Ark with namespace.gg enables users to build full profiles, collating and binding all existing DIDs into one, regardless of the chain. This is useful around social, reputation and identity verification.
We rebuilt the infrastructure for ANS to create an extensible generic MEM contract that can add any kind of wallet authentication or payment token via MEM’s . The rebuild spawned namespace.gg, which is now getting ready to launch DIDs for Hackernoon, and .
DAO Identities: provide a custom TLD naming service for your DAO members with minting conditions based on factors such as governance participation. Make your DAO token the minting currency.
Multi-Chain Identity: Establish a unified identity for users across multiple blockchains. With namespace.gg's chain-agnostic approach, users can have a consistent identity whether they're on EVM, Solana, Polkadot, or any other supported chain.
Decentralized Content Addressing: attach human-readable names to content txids. For example, the namespace.gg user of ANS shrine.ar
set their A
Record to direct to a website on Arweave, which resolves via a custom namespace.gg gateway: shrine.arweave.gg.
Decentralized Social Profiles (DeSoc): As an alternative to centralized social media platforms or piggybacking on existing (expensive, limited) naming services, creators can develop a decentralized social ID layer where users mint their handles, ensuring true ownership of their digital identity and content.
NFT Gated Identities: create a custom TLD only mintable by holders of a particular NFT collection. Username layer for a protocol: spin up an identity system for your dApp users instead of building it from scratch. Integrate namespace.gg minting into your dApp UI.
Branded Corporate Domains: Companies can create a custom TLD specific to their brand, ensuring that all subdomains or identities under it are officially associated with the company. This can enhance brand trust and recognition.
Physical Events: Organizers of events, conferences, or festivals can offer custom domain names as tickets or passes, providing attendees with a unique digital identity associated with the event.
Educational Institutions: Universities and schools can create a custom TLD for their students and faculty, ensuring a unified digital identity. This can be used for academic profiles, e-portfolios, or even course-specific sites.
