Release VeilRoot v0.26.1.0 — Anonymous Domains, Proof-of-Liveness, Private DAO · ailerov/VeilRoot

VeilRoot Name System (VNS) launches as a fully private, decentralized alternative to ICANN.

Built on a Monero-derived privacy blockchain and integrated with Nostr, VeilRoot introduces:

Anonymous registration: ring signatures, stealth addresses, Bulletproofs, Dandelion++.
Health-based validity: domains stay active only while their relays publish valid heartbeat events with Merkle proofs.
Double-dot namespace: example..free with permissionless extensions.
Nostr service discovery: relay events carry onion/IPFS/HTTPS endpoints tied to an on-chain fingerprint.
On-chain DAO: stake-age weighted voting with homomorphic threshold-decrypted tallies and automated treasury release.
Burned tiered fees: 0.1 VNS to 10,000 VNS, with no token speculation.
20,000,000 VNS max supply, 18% locked treasury, dynamic reward formula.

For those not familiar with these technical terms

With VeilRoot, you can now:

Register a domain without giving your name, email, or any personal information. No KYC, no identity leak.
Keep a website or service online through Tor or IPFS, while the domain itself proves that your relay is alive and legitimate.
Be confident that a domain is not squatted forever: if its relay stops publishing valid heartbeat events, the name eventually becomes available again.
Create your own extension, like yourname..free or yourname..art, without asking anyone for permission.
Run a whistleblower site, an uncensored newspaper, or a private community without revealing who operates it.
Control the project through a private, permissionless DAO where votes are cast anonymously and treasury funds are released only by on-chain consensus.

This is the initial public release, containing source code and prebuilt Linux/macOS binaries.
