Consensus-Unique Name Tokens — Identity Binding and Verified Resolution
Anyone can type a name into a wallet, but nothing on Bitcoin normally stops two people from each claiming the same name, and even if a name is claimed, a payment app has no safe way to know which key it really belongs to without trusting some company or registrar in the middle. This makes it impossible to send money to a plain name like "archie" and know it will reach the right person without a domain, an account, or someone's word being taken on faith. This standard describes how a name can be made provably unique and provably tied to one key, so a wallet can resolve it and pay it safely.
