Broadcast Token Naming System (BTNS)

The Broadcast Token Naming System (BTNS) is a bleeding-edge experimental protocol to play around with token functionality on Bitcoin and other blockchains.

The BTNS Token Standard (BTNS-420) extends on the BTNS to define a token standard and the features which can be used to operate on these BTNS tokens.

The BTNS GAS Utility Token (BTNS-GAS) establishes a standard GAS utility token to provide functionality where it isn't technically possible to use Bitcoin.

The BTNS currently uses the broadcast feature of the counterparty platform to encode BTNS transactions in a number of different ways (OP_RETURN, multisig, P2SH, etc).

If you find this project interesting, please consider making a donation of BTC, Counterparty assets, or BTNS tokens to support continued development and experimentation.
