Names · OpNS

A name you
own.

An inscription address is long and changes every version. An OpNS name is short, sits in your wallet as an ordinal, and points at whichever version you choose.

In development

Pointing

Name → version.

When you publish a new version, b0-x offers to move your name to it. Gateways that resolve OpNS then serve the new version under the same name. Previous versions keep their own addresses.

# illustrative
$ npx b0-x publish
✓ v4 inscribed: 2be1…77c0_0
→ Point my-docs at v4? [Y/n] y
✓ my-docs → v4 (OpNS)

$ npx b0-x names point my-docs v3   # roll back
✓ my-docs → v3

Yours to hold

The name is an ordinal in your wallet. You can keep it, transfer it or sell it like any other.

Roll back in one step

Every version stays on chain, so rolling back is just pointing the name at an earlier one.

Alongside DNS

Your normal domain keeps serving your site from wherever it's hosted now. The OpNS name is the on-chain route to the published one.

Registering names uses OpNS directly; b0-x will help you claim and point one, but doesn't own the name system.
