420 Names concepts¶
A name record contains owner, pending owner, resolved address, optional Identity profile ID, optional Registry service ID, expiry and label length.
Ownership is lease-based. An expired record is not authoritative even if an old cache still displays it.
Forward resolution maps name to address/context. Reverse resolution provides a preferred display name for an address, but only when canonical forward state still points back to that address.
Commit/reveal reduces front-running risk during registration.
