IOV Name Service is now live on Cosmos SDK!
Exciting times! 🎉
We are very excited to announce that our migration was successful! We are now running the IOV Name Service on Cosmos SDK LaunchPad 39.1. For further details, you can check our block-explorer here.
We want to thank our validators, all your partners and the whole Cosmos community for the continuous support!
It has been a long journey and after this migration, we believe we are in the right position to become one of the best name services in the crypto-space and accelerate mass-adoption of the blockchain industry with decentralized usernames ie. the starnames. We believe today we have the right team, the right technology and the right vision to make it happen. The future is bright!

It is more than a migration ⚛️
More than a migration, this upgrade enables the starname features (our decentralized username):
✅ Universal Lookup (we support any kind of digital assets)
✅ Universal and Fast Reverse Lookup (query starname of a specific crypto-address)
✅ For any kind of transaction, the fee payer can be different than the action signer
✅ The coolest human-readable format in crypto: *starname
✅ Two types of permissions for *starnames: Open or Closed
✅ Metadata can be uploaded off-chain like a picture, full name and description
✅ Portability: You can switch custodians while keeping your starname
✅ Fully Proof of Stake
If you wish to register or resolve a starname, read our docs or contact us on Telegram. We will be glad to help!
We thank you again for being with us through this process.
Sincerely,
The IOV Team.
