Why Proofs?
An indexer scans the PIVX blockchain and builds a registry of names. But why should anyone trust it? What if it:
The Proof Chain
The domains are registered in batch. Each batch waiting timeout is ~10 minutes. Every batch produces one proof. These proofs form a chain of state transitions from genesis:
Merkle Proofs
When you resolve a name, the API returns a Merkle membership proof -- 128 sibling hashes from the Sparse Merkle Tree. This lets you verify the resolution without trusting the server.
