Speaker: Braden Pezeshki of Unstoppable Domains

Abstract: Discuss and show how .crypto works as well as how domain resolution works in 
a browser., a domain registry on Ethereum that exists outside of traditional DNS. I’d also like to show you the Unstoppable Browser, a tool that enables you to resolve .crypto domains just like a .com domain. DNS, the standard for naming on the internet, uses a centralized set of servers to record ownership. The system is designed so that every user must have a 3rd party custody their domain assets for them. Blockchains make this unnecessary. I built a fully functioning domain registry and launched it on the Ethereum blockchain. It is called .crypto. Domains are ERC721 tokens and are completely controlled by the user. .Crypto uses a suite of 6 different smart contracts. Here is what they do. Here is the Unstoppable Browser. It has an IPFS node inside of it. 

This talk was recorded Friday, February 14, 2020.
