The development of blockchain technology not only brought about the rise of digital currency, but also gave birth to a new type of Internet domain name - Web3 domain name. As an emerging domain name system, Web3 domain name is very different from traditional domain names. Today, let's discuss the difference between traditional domain names and blockchain domain names.
First, let's take a look at traditional domain names. Traditional domain names, that is, domain names such as .com and .cn that we usually come into contact with the most , are a kind of address identification on the Internet, and the corresponding website can be found through domain name resolution. Traditional domain names are built on the centralized Domain Name System (DNS), that is to say, all domain name information is managed and maintained by specialized institutions.
The Web3 domain name is born based on blockchain technology . Blockchain is a decentralized database technology. Web3 domain name uses the decentralized characteristics of blockchain to store domain name information in a distributed manner on the blockchain. In this way, Web3 domain names do not need to rely on centralized institutions for management, and their security and reliability have been greatly improved.
So, what are the specific differences between traditional domain names and blockchain domain names?
1. Management method
Traditional domain names are centralized and need to be managed and maintained by specialized institutions. Once there is a problem with this institution, it may lead to the collapse of the domain name system. The Web3 domain name is decentralized, and the domain name information is distributed and stored on the blockchain, so there is no need to worry about problems with the management agency.
2. Security
Traditional domain names are vulnerable to hacker attacks, because domain name information is concentrated in one place, once hacked, it may lead to a large amount of domain name information leakage. The distributed storage method of Web3 domain names makes it difficult for hackers to attack and has higher security.
3. Transparency
The information of traditional domain names is opaque, and users cannot know the real information of domain names. The information of the Web3 domain name is open and transparent, and users can query all the information of the domain name through the blockchain browser.
4. Transaction
Traditional domain names can be traded, but the transaction process is relatively complicated. Web3 domain names can be automatically traded through smart contracts, which is more convenient and efficient.
Security and privacy issues also need to be considered when using blockchain domain names. In order to protect the privacy and security of users, some special tools and technologies can be used, such as ClonBrowser. ClonBrowser supports anti-fingerprint identification technology, which can simulate different browser versions, operating systems and other characteristics, making it more difficult for users' browsing behavior to be identified and tracked. At the same time, ClonBrowser also supports multi-account management and encrypted storage of account data to ensure that user account data is more secure and reliable.
In short, although traditional domain names and blockchain domain names are both address identifiers on the Internet, they are quite different in terms of management methods, security, transparency, and transactions. With its features of decentralization, security and reliability, Web3 domain names will play an increasingly important role in the future development of the Internet. The traditional domain name will also continue to improve and combine with blockchain technology to jointly promote the development of the Internet.
