Spaces launches Trust Anchor to verify Bitcoin identities without a central resolver
- —Trust Anchor ties a name and private key directly to Bitcoin, with no central resolver
- —A Trust ID is valid for 14 days; rescanning is needed only for new contacts or key rotation
- —No full node required: Veritas for macOS or space-cli trust in Bitcoin Core
- —@bitcoin handles cost a flat $25 and cannot be revoked, rerouted or recovered once issued
Why it matters: Readable identities could simplify payments and cut address errors, but adoption hinges on wallets and apps embracing the standard.
