How this works in practice
Use readable merchant names in payment flows to reduce address-entry errors and give customers a clear recipient identity.
RNS maps a readable .rama name to onchain records such as wallet addresses, ownership and service metadata. Applications should resolve the name, validate the returned records and clearly show the final destination before a user acts.
Implementation sequence
Turn the topic into a controlled implementation rather than a one-off transaction. Each step below should leave evidence a teammate, user or auditor can independently review.
- 01. Resolve recipient name. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
- 02. Confirm ownership. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
- 03. Show payment proof. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
Evidence to retain
A reliable resolution flow can show the requested name, resolver source, resolved address, current owner where appropriate and the transaction or record state that supports the result.
Control point
A readable name is not proof on its own. Protect against stale records, misleading display names, expired registrations and resolver changes by validating onchain data and retaining a clear address fallback.
