LHDNS — Redesigning Internet Naming for Privacy & Freedom
The Domain Name System (DNS) has powered the Internet for decades — but its centralized trust anchors, persistent metadata trails, and long-lived records leave users vulnerable to surveillance, censorship, and tampering.
LHDNS (Ledger-based Hashed Decentralized Naming System) re-imagines name resolution using cryptographic hashing, rotating nonces, ephemeral ledger entries, and peer-to-peer consensus. The result: a naming layer built for privacy, verifiability, and user sovereignty — ready to migrate via gateways, browser APIs, and dual-stack support.
