August 20th, 2024 at 9:41 pm UTC · 3 min read

/TNA/ – Bitcoin naming protocol TNA recently unveiled its product roadmap, revealing plans to provide name and data services to other crypto name issuers. TNA offers multi-asset name services and data availability (DA) solutions for the Bitcoin ecosystem and has established strategic partnerships with entities such as Polyhedra and OKX Wallet. Notably, TNA names fetched a high price of 5 BTC in a recent auction, sparking market interest. TNA is backed by investors like Kucoin Ventures and MH Ventures and will launch its IDO on the Bounce platform.

Current State of the Bitcoin Ecosystem

The Bitcoin ecosystem has seen significant development and innovation recently. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs is expected to bring more liquidity and attract institutional investors. Meanwhile, the halving of Bitcoin has led to reduced miner revenue, causing many mining rigs to shut down. In this context, new assets like Ordinals and Runes have emerged, slightly increasing miner income and enhancing Bitcoin’s functionality and application scenarios. Miners continue to support the ecosystem’s development. Despite being in its early stages, the Bitcoin ecosystem requires ongoing innovation to further its growth and maturity.

Bitcoin Names: Innovation or Rehash?

The market capitalization of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has reached $3 billion, and other name services like SpaceID have also seen substantial user bases and valuations. The concept of crypto names is familiar to the blockchain community. Does Bitcoin need its own naming system? According to TNA, the introduction of Bitcoin names essentially increases the diversity of assets in the Bitcoin ecosystem, offering native application expansion and empowering Bitcoin’s value.

Names possess both application and asset attributes, greatly enriching the interactive dynamics of the Bitcoin ecosystem. TNA’s plan indicates that its names have demonstrated market value and could be used for staking, lending, social assets, decentralized usernames, and community management tools, empowering other developers. TNA indeed differentiates from existing crypto names, leveraging Bitcoin’s characteristics.

Will Bitcoin names become the next big hit in the budding ecosystem? Only time will tell, but they undoubtedly bring new possibilities and innovation to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Can Bitcoin Names Achieve Unification?

Aside from TNA names, there are numerous name holders in the Unisat and Stacks ecosystems. Ordinals names rely on Unisat for resolution and are supported by wallets like Unisat. Due to Ordinals’ asset attributes, anyone can mint inscription assets without permission, leading to numerous duplicate mints. Only names “recognized” by Unisat are considered “valid.” However, Ordinals names still have some limitations, such as users being unable to set target addresses, and other functions are yet to be developed. Similarly, the Stacks blockchain has its naming system, but it is limited to use within its chain. TNA’s product roadmap suggests that its name functions, such as address management and subname issuance, will be open to Ordinals and Stacks name holders. This indicates that TNA protocol services could reach millions of users, potentially achieving unification of Bitcoin names.

Reportedly, TNA has completed deployments on multiple Bitcoin layer-two chains and formed strategic partnerships. Its DA solution will integrate various asset data, providing data verification for the Bitcoin ecosystem and enabling full-chain name issuance and management. This ensures safe and effective name data services, facilitating application expansion for developers.
