Was only .bch. The daemon and CA already handle these four TLDs; the NRPT rule was the missing piece that made .p2p / .bit / .nav queries never reach the daemon at all (they went to ICANN's normal DNS and NXDOMAIN'd). Dual TLDs (.de .ru .dev .ltd) intentionally NOT here. They need the daemon's DNS-forwarding path to work reliably for unregistered names, and there's still an open EDNS/AAAA forwarding bug in bnsd.js that would break most German/Russian sites if we NRPT'd .de. Adding more native TLDs (.x .sia .dgb .nt from Theseus's expanded set) needs a CA rotation first — the current CA's nameConstraints only permit bch/p2p/bit/deviant/nav/test/bcnr. Deferred.

<h2>What we build</h2>
|
|
<p class="lede">Five products, each named for a figure whose role matches its function.
|
|
Each solves one part of the "how do we run a web without gatekeepers" problem, and
|
|
all five interoperate around one thing: a name on the Bitcoin Cash chain.</p>

<p>The incentive layer nobody pays for today. Independent hosts pooling to keep
