Dappy
🔒 Dappy is a name system powered by blockchain and secured in real-time by multiple independent companies, each exposing a DoH endpoint (co-resolution). Its design removes industry-wide structural limitations and defects of current naming systems (mainly DNS) and TLS security services (mainly the Certificate Authorities system).
Dappy is being built since 2018 in an open source and iterative fashion. The main goal is to provide any kind of web service : 🎮 web3, 💻 web2, 🪙 finance, 🛻 supply chain, 🤝 B2B, 🌍 non-profits with :
- Ultra-security : protected against HTTPS man-in-the-middle, many phishing scenarios, DNS hack through registrar or registry.
- Thin control over domain names and TLS identities.
- Extended capabilities and expressiveness that are not achievable with legacy naming systems such as DNS.

Networks (d, gamma etc...)
The reference of the dappy network(s) that may be included in a given adppy browser (white label or regular) release are loaded from another library, dappy-lookup which is the library responsible for co-resolution of records (A, AAAA, TXT, CERT) in the dappy name system.
Node / name system resolver
dappy-node is the web server responsible for exposing a DoH (DNS over HTTPS) interface and that each member of the dappy network must run.
