Towards Next Generation Domain Services: A Committee based Privacy Scheme leveraging Move on IOTA

The inherent complexity of cryptographic addresses in Web3 ecosystems poses significant usability problems. Decentralized Domain Services attempt to solve this challenge yet, in the meantime, jeopardize users’ pseudo-anonymity. This paper investigates the design and implementation of a decentralized naming system leveraging IOTA’s Move smart contract framework. We analyze the system architecture and provide a comparative evaluation against established domain name services such as ENS, SuiNS, SolanaNS, and Avvy, highlighting the unique advantages and limitations of our proposed solution. Moreover, we introduce a novel committee-bridge architecture managing off-chain hashed name storage, enabling selective disclosure of domain information while maintaining low computational overhead. We also present results from an evaluation that assesses the functioning and the performance of the system, which confirm the viability of the proposal.
