  • Publication number: 20200328883
    Abstract: Techniques for DNS registry facilitated assignment of a DNS domain name registered to a registrant as a blockchain user address in a blockchain network are presented. The techniques can include providing, by a DNS registry, a public key and a computer executable registry signature verification program configured to use the public key to validate signatures made using the private key for addition to a block in a blockchain of the blockchain network. The techniques can also include receiving a request for a proof of registrar of record, and providing a proof of registration message, such that the registry signature verification program validates the signature using the public key, and the blockchain network receives and stores in the blockchain an association between the domain name and an existing blockchain user address for the registrant.

  • Publication number: 20180309720
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, computer-readable media, and computer-implemented methods for automatically generating a website and domain name suggestions by receiving, from a website server, user content, determining a user type based on the user content, separating the user content into multiple sets of user content, automatically generating webpages of a website based on the user content, where the webpages include a homepage and a webpage corresponding to each set of user content of the multiple sets of user content, automatically generating domain name suggestions based on the user content, transmitting a domain name lookup request based on the domain name suggestions, determining available domain name suggestions based on a response to the domain name lookup request, receiving a request for a generated webpage, and providing the generated webpage and the available domain name suggestions based on the request.
