Verisign, which controls the ".com" and ".net" domain names, has reportedly been granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for applying blockchain technology to domain names. The patent, titled "Domain Blockchain User Address," outlines the key benefits and technical advantages associated with using DNS domain names within a blockchain network. It enables domain names purchased in a traditional DNS environment to be used within a blockchain environment. Verisign explains that by applying this technology, the registry enables users to convert traditional domain names into "blockchain user addresses" and interact with other participants on the network.
