What is PIVX Name?
Briefly
PIVX Name is a naming protocol for PIVX working on-chain and based on Sapling Shielded Memo Protocol. It lets you register human-readable names like richard.pivx and map them to PIVX shielded addresses. Every registration is proven correct with a Zero-Knowledge Proof.
The Problem
PIVX shielded addresses are ~78 characters long. They look like this:
ps12qtzaw6x3dh35xuukrqgk06e9ffx8szg2n2huqncwjsnj3ajczmklqgcx97kn63vwlge6gj2cmn
The Solution
Register a name by sending a single shielded PIVX transaction. An Indexer watches the blockchain, validates each registration, and builds a registry. A Zero-Knowledge Prover then generates a mathematical proof that every registration is correct.
Anyone can resolve richard.pivx to get Richard's address. Anyone can verify the proof. No trust required.

Anyone can scan the blockchain, retrieve the received memos, and build their own indexers or spin up the ready-to-use Indexer that operates strictly according to the protocol (code-proof) to verify for themselves that the entire system functions correctly. Also, the ready-to-use Indexer comes with a name resolving API so you don't have to rely on any public name resolving API.
