Alibaba Blockchain Domain Names

Note the similarity to the Cosmos Network.   A useful direction.

Alibaba Claims Patented Cross-Chain System Is Better Than Cosmos

Alibaba says its “unified domain name scheme” would simplify and improve communication between blockchains.

In a patent granted by the U.S. Patent Office last Tuesday, the e-commerce giant said its domain name system could enable cross-chain communications that are more simple and seamless than on existing interoperability solutions, specifically naming blockchain interoperability project Cosmos.

Alibaba says that assigning universally recognizable domain names to blockchains, or parts of a blockchain, could enable better identification and interaction with others in a broader network, in much the same way that entities recognize and communicate with one another using domain names, such as “.com” or “.org    ....

About
The Cosmos Network is a decentralized network of independent, scalable, and interoperable blockchains, creating the foundation for a new token economy.

Before the Cosmos Network, blockchains were siloed and unable to communicate with each other. They were hard to build and could only handle a small number of transactions per second. Cosmos solves some of the hardest blockchain problems of scalability, usability and interoperability.

The Cosmos SDK is a developer-friendly, modular framework, each powered by a Byzantine Fault-Tolerant consensus algorithm such as Tendermint BFT, allowing developers to fully customize their decentralized applications and focus on business logic.

At Cosmos, we’re building the "Internet of Blockchains." Join our growing network and plug into the most powerful blockchain ecosystem. ... '
