ENS ON BITCOIN? Spaces Protocol, a decentralized naming system built on Bitcoin, is set to launch on mainnet Wednesday at around 2P ET (block height 871222). If it sounds like the Ethereum Naming Service except on a different blockchain, founder Mike Carson claims that Spaces improves on ENS in several ways. Spaces, he told CoinDesk, is “designed to scale (top level spaces are on bitcoin, second level are done with zero knowledge proofs as a second layer on bitcoin). ENS is just .eth on Ethereum. ENS is run by a foundation, they have their own token, and Spaces has no foundation [and] no token. We built Spaces to be truly cypherpunk – no separate chain, no separate token, no foundation, with the Bitcoin used for auctions [of namespace] burned to avoid any conflict of interest.”
