Starname Resolver and Registration

This document will explain how to get started with the IOV Name Service.

Block explorer
The IOV Name Service has a block explorer in Mainnet: https://big-dipper.iov-mainnet-2.iov.one/​
It is the easiest way to see the transactions getting on the IOV Name Service.
Using the REST API
The IOV Name Service has a REST API in Testnet: ​https://iovnscli-rest-api.iov-mainnet-2.iov.one/. 
Messages generated by the CLI can then be sent via this REST API.
Installing the CLI
You can install the CLI from the GitHub repo: https://github.com/iov-one/iovns​
The IOV Name Service and the Starnames
The IOV Name Service provides human readable address linked to a list of crypto-addresses.  We called this human readable address the starname.
A starname can have two different formats:
*domain
name*domain
