📦 LHDNS v1.0 — Official Open Source Release

🚀 First public release of LHDNS (Ledger-based Hashed Decentralized Naming System)
A ledger-backed, privacy-preserving, censorship-resistant alternative to traditional DNS.
This version marks the completion of the core architecture, cryptographic framework, and governance model.


📘 Included Documents

  • LHDNS_Whitepaper_v1.0.pdf — Main architecture, design, and roadmap
  • LHDNS_Annex_A_ExtendedTechnicalReport.pdf — Full technical reference and canonical serialization rules
  • LHDNS_Appendix_A_TechnicalModules.pdf — Modular specifications and operational logic
  • LHDNS_Appendix_B_Glossary.pdf — Complete terminology and cryptographic definitions
  • LHDNS_Appendix_C_References.pdf — Background research and related systems
  • LHDNS_Appendix_D_ThreatScenarios.pdf — Threat models, attack trees, and mitigations

🧩 Core Highlights

  • Decentralized trust — No single authority or root zone
  • Ephemeral ledger entries — Time-limited, privacy-preserving lookups
  • End-to-end encryption — X25519 + XChaCha20-Poly1305
  • Proof-of-Work & Staking — Anti-Sybil and economic alignment
  • DAO Governance — On-chain parameter updates and community control

⚙️ Roadmap (Simplified)

Phase Description Timeline
0 Prototype design & validation 0–6 months
1 Private testnet & SDKs 6–12 months
2 Public testnet + gateways 12–18 months
3 Pilot deployments + DAO launch 18–24 months
4 Mainnet launch 24–36 months
5 Ecosystem expansion + post-quantum upgrades 36m+

🔒 Security Focus

Defends against:

  • Passive surveillance & traffic correlation
  • Censorship & resolver hijacking
  • Sybil & Eclipse attacks
  • Replay, DoS, and key-compromise threats

Built-in mitigations: ephemeral keys, cover traffic, adaptive PoW, staking/slashing, multi-path relays.
