1. An on-chain namespace for artists and the music community.
2. Subdomains on Ethereum issued via the Impervious Registry Protocol.
3. A top-level domain anchored in the Handshake root.
How are names distributed?
Inspired by Handshake's reservation system, select names are reserved for on-chain artists, on-chain orgs, independent record labels, and major labels. Since the registry only thinks in terms of second-level domains, reserved artist and org names are "converted" to SLDs. All other names are available for public registration.
What can I do with .RECORDS domains?
Domains can be used as usernames across protocols and platforms. Like ENS, but for music.Domains can also work with websites by adding DNS records on-chain in the name's Details section.
How do I access .RECORDS websites?
A Handshake resolver will enable access to .RECORDS domains with ANY browser of your choice. Try out Fingertip on desktop or Beacon on mobile.
The .RECORDS Registry can continue to innovate as a music-specific namespace by building around artist identities and upgrading the registry controller to support new functionality over time.
