Some of you may be familiar with OpenAlias, a username address specification that is widely implemented in Monero wallets and also in some Bitcoin wallets like Electrum. It relies on DNS TXT records.
If you're not familiar with OpenAlias, please read this first.
OpenAlias v1 (the current design) has existed since 2014-2015, and it has worked wonderfully at what it set out to do. However, it was not designed for assets to exist on multiple chains, and it lacks some modern features that people may wish to use.
Thus, I have started a discussion for an OpenAlias v2 specification. The primary goals for OAv2 are the following:
- Retain the advantages of OpenAlias v1.
- Remain asset/blockchain agnostic.
- Avoid conflicting with other standards, such as ENS and BIP-353.
- Better support assets existing on multiple blockchains and L2s, such as USDT existing on Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, etc.
- Support additional optional metadata features.
