Is dns a good application for the blockchain? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Generally, blockchain is really only helpful in very specific scenarios

  • where there is no trust amongst actors (there is trust in dns, I trust you to tell me the details for your DNS records)
  • immutability is important (dns records are regularly mutated, only the current state is important)
  • and performance is unimportant (performance is critically important for dns)

DNS uses distributes hash tables, which is decentralized. Though, yes, there is centralization in terms of trusted entities able to issue domain names and top level domains, you can already host your own distributed and decentralized name servers
