Reverse Resolution Overview
Reverse Resolution is a feature that enables applications that integrate with Unstoppable Domains to show domain names where they would typically only show addresses. As a domain owner, you can now see your domain names instead of wallet addresses in applications integrating Reverse Resolution.
Unlike standard domain resolution, where a domain is provided to an application and returns a wallet address, Reverse Resolution allows applications to take a wallet address and return the domain name linked to them.
How Reverse Resolution Works
Reverse Resolution works by having domain owners set a reverse record for their domains on the blockchain. Then when an application uses our APIs or libraries to resolve a reverse record, our smart contracts return the domain name that the owner selected.
Who Sets the Domain for Reverse Resolution?
Individuals maintain absolute control over their domains and their reverse records. No one can set or remove a reverse record of a domain other than the domain owner. However, reverse records are wiped automatically at the contract level whenever a domain owner changes.
