< p class = "lede" > Theseus is a browser built around the assumption that names should
be resolved by the person using them, not by an intermediary. It ships an
embedded resolver (Ariadne) that watches the Bitcoin Cash chain directly and answers
name lookups locally — the app < i > is< / i > both the browser and the resolver.
Every page carries a badge showing which registry produced the record
(BCNR, ICANN) and which backend served the bytes (on-chain, Sia, direct IP,
or a plain HTTPS fallback).< / p >
< div class = "grid" >
< div class = "card" >
< h3 > < span class = "dot d-chain" > < / span > On-chain first< / h3 >
< p > Every dotted host is asked of BCNR before anything else. If the chain
answers, that answer wins — no matter what any DNS operator says. If
BCNR has no record, Theseus falls through to the clearnet.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "card" >
< h3 > < span class = "dot d-sia" > < / span > Trust one thing< / h3 >
< p > The app is the trust boundary. No daemon, no root cert, no proxy in the
middle. Uninstall it and BCNR is gone from that machine — nothing lingers
in the OS.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "card" >
< h3 > < span class = "dot d-srv" > < / span > Warm from the first click< / h3 >

as a recommended-on checkbox: one click also installs a system-wide

Uninstalling Theseus asks whether to remove it. Skip the checkbox and
