we already have "nameless" IP addresses, in which DNS is built on top of it as abstraction. using SHA256 is no better that using IPv6 IMO

  There is probably a decent case to be made for having an indirection layer above IP addresses, even if they are as meaningless and unmemorizable as a hash: for portability (IP addresses are tied to the host infra provider), load balancing, etc.

    We already have that.

      Do we? Where can I buy an IP address? Do all hosting providers support assigning an arbitrary IP address to a website? Let's say I have a hosted wordpress blog with a custom domain. How do I get a static IP for it?

  Except you have your ownership in the blockchain allowing you to mutate the IP address. I don’t know if you can get a guaranteed for life IPv6. And who dishes them out. It is centralised.
