Aleo Name Service (ANS): Redefining Digital Identity with Privacy

At first glance, registering a domain for privacy might seem paradoxical. After all, why reveal any information if the goal is to keep your online activity private? However, the Aleo Name Service (ANS) aims to address a broader need beyond mere identification.

Web3 registrars typically function as unique identifiers across various platforms. While they offer convenience, they often overlook a critical aspect: user privacy. The lack of privacy measures leaves users vulnerable to scams, social engineering attacks, and spam, among other threats.

At ANS, you have right to control who has access to your information. We recognize the risks associated with fully public domains, akin to doxxing oneself online. By tying a simple and memorable name to your wallet, you inadvertently expose yourself to potential threats, much like sharing your home address publicly.

We’ve chosen to offer users a choice. While you can still connect with friends, organizations, and communities on-chain, you don’t have to grant everyone direct access to your wallet. ANS provides a privacy-first approach, ensuring that only those you trust can contact you directly.

Empowering User Experience

With ANS, we’ve redefined the user experience within the Aleo ecosystem. Your domain name, such as “YourName.ans,” grants you a personalized panel to configure your information visibility. Through our dashboard, you can:

• Send crypto anonymously using your unique domain name, safeguarding your identity.
• Receive payments with a personalized domain name, limiting access to trusted contacts.
• Conceal your address for enhanced security.
• For developers, we offer tools for seamless integration with the Aleo blockchain.

Privacy and Security

At ANS, privacy and security are paramount. Our platform envelops your transactions and on-chain activities in a veil of privacy, shielded from prying eyes. Leveraging Aleo’s innovative zero-knowledge approach, we offer granular privacy toggling, ensuring your data remains confidential.

Effortless Integration with Aleo

ANS seamlessly syncs with the Aleo Network infrastructure, making it compatible with any experience built within our ecosystem. Our commitment to integration, usability, and security paves the way for future innovations in Aleo and zero-knowledge technology.
