Abstract
Techniques for transferring registration of a domain name from a first registrant to a second registrant for cryptocurrency in a blockchain network and in the Domain Name System (DNS) are disclosed. The techniques can include receiving a purchase request message comprising the domain name, at least one purchase parameter, and a second registrant network identifier, and sending a purchase instruction message to an executable program on a blockchain for the blockchain network, the purchase instruction message including the domain name and the second registrant network identifier, such that the executable program writes at least the domain name, the second registrant network identifier, and an identifier of a gaining registrar to a deed contract for the domain name and emits an event representing a request to transfer registration of the domain name.
