Resolve spec — .zec name resolution

Docs

Resolve spec.

One lookup, one JSON object. Wallets and sites need nothing else to pay a name.

Grammar

label = 3–20 chars
charset = a–z 0–9 -
no leading or trailing hyphen
fqn = label + ".zec"

Record keys

zec: required · payment address
sol: optional
zmail: inbox
zpay: store URL
site: website
avatar: image URL
note: free text

Resolution order

Normalize input, strip the suffix, lowercase.
Validate against the grammar. Invalid names never resolve.
Read the registry entry. Expired names resolve as unregistered.
Return records. Wallets pay the zec key.

Economics

Register: burn 12,000 $ZNAME
Split: 50% destroyed / 50% treasury
Resale: 20% of ask to holders in ZEC
