Bubo Name Service

BNS gives every Bubo its own address.

BNS is Bubo's naming and discovery layer. It uses bomains instead of registrar-owned domains for Bubo-native addresses, and it still respects normal DNS ownership for names like @yelp.com.

@@bubo/nightout/planresolved by BNS

  1. Open a bomain

    Enter @bubo/nightout, @bubo, @bu.bo, or @subdomain.yelp.com/path. The @ stays in the address bar because Bubo resolves the name inside BNS.

  2. Search from sources

    Switch the address mode and enter two or more URLs, such as Yelp + Fandango. BNS returns matching Bubos with screenshots, ratings, and access state.

  3. Share with access

    Public bomains resolve for everyone. Private bomains resolve only for invited users, friends, groups, domains, admins, and collaborators.

Personal handles

Every account gets a default bomain from a required Bubo handle. Public handles are tied to social login and a Bubo proof post, not email-only signup.

Domain claims

Names like @yelp.com require DNS TXT proof before registration, and verified owners can configure subdomain bomains.

Source domains

A Bubo is registered with two or more source domains, so people can find it by name or by the web services it combines.

Configuration

Admins and collaborators can update the associated URLs, visibility, sharing rules, collaborators, title, summary, and screenshot.
