What is the Bitcoin Name Service (BNS)?

The Bitcoin Name Service (BNS) is a decentralized naming database that runs on the Bitcoin blockchain.

BNS serves a similar purpose to the Web2 Domain Name System (DNS), providing an interface for obtaining, registering, managing, and looking up domain names.

However, unlike DNS, which relies on centralized servers, BNS runs on a peer-to-peer server system, providing a solution that is designed to be censorship-resistant.
