Bulk-inserts <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg"> before the </head> tag on every silentmode.st page that was missing it. All 36 site HTML pages now advertise the chain-links favicon; browsers show it in tabs and bookmarks across the whole umbrella site. Pages touched (29): apps/, choose/*, deviant/* (7 pages under the parent house), hephaestus/, hephaestus.x/* (9 chain-published mirror pages), nav/ (redirect stub), register.html (redirect stub), sirius/, sirius/register.html, store/ (redirect stub), tlds/. Already had favicon from earlier passes (7): index.html, brand/, tools/, prometheus/, helios/, hermes/, releases/. Line-ending preservation: choose/index.html and sirius/register.html were originally stored with CRLF endings; the plain Python read/write path normalized them to LF and produced a noisy diff. Both files re-serialized as CRLF before the favicon insert to keep the diff to +1 line each. Deploy: rsync-equivalent tar-pipe to /opt/silent-mode/site/, plus per-file scp for the two CRLF-corrected files. Verified live: 7 spot-checked URLs each report exactly one <link rel="icon"> in served HTML.

<h2>What a TLD is here</h2>
|
|
<p class="lede">A TLD (like <code>.bch</code>, <code>.x</code>, <code>.p2p</code>) is not just a
|
|
convention. Each is a CashTokens NFT with the TLD label as its commitment,
|
|
paying dust to a dedicated TLD-registry beacon on chain. That certificate
|
|
is the on-chain proof the TLD exists — and, once enforcement is on, it is
|
|
what makes any second-level name under it valid.</p>
|
|
<ol class="steps">
|
|
<li><b>Register the TLD first.</b> <span>An operator mints the TLD certificate. Without it, names
|
|
under that TLD are not indexed by conforming resolvers.</span></li>
|
|
<li><b>Then register names under it.</b> <span>Each name is a separate cert, minted through the
|
|
registrar (<a href="../sirius/register.html">sirius/register.html</a>), and paid by the buyer to
|
|
their own wallet.</span></li>
|
|
<li><b>Verify against the chain.</b> <span>Anyone can walk the TLD beacon
|
|
(<code>bchtest:qzc4c76vtw9nd49g6x8nmvc0jz62uvk4dc7hmpmerh</code> on chipnet), rebuild the list,
|
|
and compare its cryptographic root — the tracker is a cache, not authority.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="note"><b>Why this exists.</b> Without a registry, anyone could quietly declare a TLD
|
|
against the same beacon by minting a name under it. That leaves resolvers in
|
|
silent disagreement about what exists. Per-TLD certificates make the TLD set
|
|
itself something the chain records, so every resolver sees the same list.

<h2>Get a name under one of these</h2>
|
|
<p class="lede">Go to <a href="../sirius/register.html">Sirius / register a name</a>. Type a label — the
|
|
search fans out to every TLD in the registry in parallel and shows which
|
|
are available, which are taken, and which are held off the public
|
|
registry. Available ones mint straight into your own wallet in one
|
|
transaction; no yearly renewal.</p>

<h2>How new TLDs get added</h2>
|
|
<p class="lede">On chipnet the operator's key can mint any TLD directly. On mainnet, a covenant
|
|
will enforce a countersignature from that same key on every public TLD mint
|
|
— and a USD-denominated price floor tiered by label length. This is what
|
|
keeps someone from land-grabbing every ICANN TLD in one afternoon.</p>
|
|
<ol class="steps">
|
|
<li><b>Operator TREG.</b> <span>The operator's wallet mints the TLD certificate; the label goes
|
|
into the NFT commitment, dust flows to the TLD beacon.</span></li>
|
|
<li><b>UI opt-in.</b> <span>The TLD is added to the registrar's list. A TLD can be minted but
|
|
intentionally omitted from the UI — the "held" pattern that keeps <code>.com</code> off
|
|
the public registry.</span></li>
|
|
<li><b>Snapshot republish.</b> <span>The tracker rebuilds and pushes a signed snapshot to Sia and
|
|
Nostr so downstream clients update without walking the chain themselves.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="note warn"><b>Chipnet is not mainnet.</b> The covenant that turns "operator's key" into
|
|
something enforceable is a mainnet requirement. Until it lands, treat the chipnet TLD list as an
|
|
operator-signed statement, not a decentralized fact.</div>

the snapshot's canonical form (sort by TLD, JSON.stringify), sha256 it, compare — if the hash matches
|

the tracker's <code>root</code>, the snapshot is a faithful summary of what the chain says.</p>
