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
Every resolution the API returns comes with a Merkle proof. It lets you check the answer
Verifying Proofs
This page shows how to verify a name resolution without trusting the indexer that served it.
