The **name** of JazDID is composed of label and registrar contract address, such as '**alice.ff1ae60287ed0c8a32e6fc6f9afe35ea3a726efc**',this design is different from ENS. The advantage is that two identical TLDs can be issued on the same chain. Of course, we will avoid this from happening. * **Namehash**: The algorithm used to process an **name** and return a cryptographic hash uniquely identifying that **name**. **Namehash** takes a **name** as input and produces a **node**. * **Node**: A cryptographic hash(**namehash**) uniquely identifying a **name**. > node = namehash(name). * **Registrant**: The owner of a name is the entity referenced in the registry's owner field. An owner may transfer ownership, set a resolver or TTL. * **Registrar**: A registrar is a contract responsible for allocating subdomains. Registrars can be configured at any level, and are pointed to by the owner field of the registry. * **Registration**: A registration is a registrar's record of a user's ownership of a name. This is distinct from the owner field in the Registry; registrations are maintained in the registrar contract and additionally store information on expiry date, fees paid, etc. * **Registry**: The registry maintains a mapping from domain name (., .x, .y.x) to owner, resolver, and time-to-live. * **Resolver**: A resolver is a contract that maps from name to the resource (e.g., cryptocurrency addresses, content hash, etc). Resolvers are pointed to by the resolver field of the registry. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.jazdid.com/terminology.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
