ArNS Naming Extensions

Register and manage ArNS (Arweave Name System) names — map memorable identifiers to permanent TX IDs. Update routing, transfer ownership, and resolve names via REST — it's DNS for the permaweb.

Give permanent assets names people can remember and teams can market.

ArNS adds a crucial customer-facing layer to permaweb delivery. It turns raw transaction references into addressable names that fit product, content, and brand use cases better.

Value

Improve distribution and brand clarity

Named assets are easier to share, document, and integrate than opaque transaction IDs.

Support long-lived public endpoints

Naming helps teams maintain a cleaner outward contract while the underlying target evolves.

Make permanence easier to explain

Buyers understand named records and permanent destinations faster than low-level blockchain identifiers.

For operators

• Register, resolve, update, and transfer names from the same platform surface.
• Pair with manifests when a name should resolve to a structured multi-file site or bundle.
• Use CDN operations to improve delivery behavior once the permanent name is live.

For buyers

• Useful for permanent publishing, public disclosures, branded content endpoints, and hosted applications.
• Creates a more marketable output for product teams selling public-facing permanence.
• Helps remove the common objection that blockchain storage is too low-level for business users.
