Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a computer associated with a blockchain to utilize DNS-stored blockchain address information concerning associations of domain names to blockchain addresses are presented. Some embodiments include: receiving a domain name; retrieving over the internet a Domain Name System (DNS) resource record for the domain name; extracting blockchain address information associated with the domain name from the DNS resource record, where the blockchain address information is signed by a private key of an asymmetric cryptographic scheme; and initiating a blockchain action based on the blockchain address information.
