Abstract: A request is received to resolve a name identifier into a target record. In response to the request, the target record of a specified type that corresponds to the name identifier is provided. An association between the name identifier and a corresponding owner account is stored in a blockchain using a first blockchain smart contract. An association between the name identifier and a corresponding second blockchain smart contract is stored in the blockchain using the first blockchain smart contract. An association between the name identifier and the target record of the specified type is stored in the blockchain using the corresponding second blockchain smart contract. The corresponding second blockchain smart contract is capable of storing a plurality of different target records of different types for the same name identifier.

Abstract: A request is received to perform a management action for a domain of a name service, wherein the name service is implemented using at least both a first blockchain network and a second blockchain network different from the first blockchain network. A determination is made whether the domain is currently managed on the first blockchain network or the second blockchain network. The management action for the domain is caused to be performed based on the determination of whether the domain is currently managed on the first blockchain network or the second blockchain network.

Abstract: A request to resolve at least a name of a domain of a name identifier is received. It is automatically determined that the name of the domain is to be resolved using a blockchain. The identifier of the non-fungible token is used to send a request to a smart contract associated with the blockchain to obtain one or more resolution records for the domain. The blockchain stores the non-fungible token associating the domain to an account address of an owner of the domain. The one or more resolution records of the domain are received. The received one or more resolution records are used to resolve at least the name of the domain.

Abstract: A request to resolve a name of a domain of an identifier of web content is received. It is automatically determined that the name of the domain is to be resolved using a blockchain. A request is sent to a smart contract of the blockchain to obtain one or more resolution records for the domain. The one or more resolution records of the domain are received. The received one or more resolution records are utilized to resolve the name of the domain.
