Records
What your name publishes: the address it is paid at, and any richer record you attach. Only the name's holder can change them, and every change is signed by the wallet that holds the name.
Payments
Where your name is paid
A tip or a payment to your name goes to the address it publishes (txch1… on testnet, xch1… on mainnet).
Your wallet asks you to sign a short message. Nothing is spent and no transaction is made.
AdvancedStructured record (JSON)
A richer record for the name, by kind. Edits save at once off chain; only the record's hash is anchored on chain by the daily anchor (one spend a day, not one per edit).
Passkey update is an on-chain spend signed by your device key, for names minted with a passkey. Records change; the name never transfers.
LabAnchor & verify a demo record
A prototype: a record you can prove was registered, unchanged, at a point in time, against the public chain. It uses demo data and is separate from your name's records above.
1Claim a record
Register an identity record.
2Get the proof
Fetch a record's inclusion proof.
The proof bundle is everything an outside party needs to verify the record — the canonical content, its hash, the Merkle path to the anchored root, and the anchor.
3Verify
Check a proof bundle — no sign-in required.
Paste a proof bundle (yours, or one someone sent you) and verify it. This is pure cryptography against the public chain — anyone can run it, and that is the entire point.
