What is BNS One?

BNS One is a platform for interacting with the Bitcoin Name System (BNS), the decentralized naming protocol built on the Stacks blockchain and anchored to Bitcoin. BNS allows users to register human-readable .btc domain names that map to Bitcoin and Stacks wallet addresses—similar to how DNS maps domain names to IP addresses, but fully decentralized and user-owned.

BNS names are globally unique, human-meaningful, and strongly owned. Only the holder of the corresponding private key can modify or transfer a name, making BNS a trustless identity layer for Bitcoin.

Key Features

• Name Registration: Search for and register .btc domain names directly on the Stacks blockchain.

• Name Management: View, renew, and manage your registered BNS names in one place.

• Decentralized Identity: Use your .btc name as a portable identity across Stacks apps and services.

• Bitcoin-Secured: All BNS names are anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain for maximum security.
