February 2020 - IOV’s update
Finalisation of the Starname module
A lot of work has been done into launching the Starname Version 2.0 module of the IOV Name Service. You can follow the progress of the Starname module on the GitHub repo in the folder:
https://github.com/iov-one/weave/tree/master/cmd/bnsd/x/account
Once active, it makes it possible to buy all types of Starnames (not only the IOV Starnames, ex: clarisse * iov), but also the premium Starnames ex: * mysupercoolname, as well as the business Starnames associated to them, ex: alice * mysupercoolname. You can check the difference between different types of Starnames here: http://help.starname.network/en/articles/3427171-what-is-a-starname
It will go into production in the coming weeks.
Improvement of documentation to integrate the Starname into Wallets
Integrating the IOV Starname in a wallet has never been easier! You can check our latest documentation site: https://docs.iov.one/docs/intro.html
A new Golang module has been written to provide a REST API for Starname here: https://github.com/iov-one/bns
