Many have tried (they dont need to be NFT's, they just need a record mapping of name->NS IPs). Namecoin tried this. Handshake is trying this. ENS is trying this

Many have tried (they dont need to be NFT's, they just need a record mapping of name->NS IPs). Namecoin tried this. Handshake is trying this. ENS is trying this. IMHO they will fail. You wont see decentralized name registration in the global DNS namespace. Too much abuse potential, too little flexibility with errors, trademarks, etc

> IMHO they will fail. I agree with you there. The key problem is maintaining ownership of a valuable domain, not freeing domain ownership from ICANN or automating dispute mediation. Putting domain ownership on a blockchain just makes it almost impossible to maintain ownership of the domain if someone steals your "crown jewel" certificates.
