Decentralized Network Applications is the CPUNK protocol for secure, decentralized, post-quantum identities on the Nodus Network. Each identity is a human-readable name linked to your cryptographic identity.
DNA Identity (Decentralized Network Applications) provides a quantum-safe digital identity that you fully control, without reliance on centralized providers, phone numbers, or email accounts.
DNA Identity is the core CPUNK protocol for self-sovereign identities on the post-quantum network. Every identity is a human-readable name derived from a single seed that generates all your wallets (CF20, ETH, SOL, TRC), protected by NIST-approved post-quantum algorithms (Kyber and Dilithium).
Instead of accounts that can be suspended or seized, DNA provides an identity layer that is permanent, verifiable, and decentralized. Ownership is defined cryptographically by your private key — not by a company, service provider, or regulator.
DNA Identity is built around a small set of clear principles: security, decentralization, permanence, and composability across the CPUNK ecosystem.
DNA identities are protected by lattice-based cryptography, the same family of algorithms selected by NIST to resist future quantum computers. Identity remains secure even when classical schemes are no longer safe.
Your DNA is derived from a single seed that also generates all your wallets (CF20, ETH, SOL, TRC). One identity across all chains — no duplicates, no confusion.
DNA does not depend on any central registrar or corporate directory. All ownership and resolution logic is enforced by the Nodus network and cryptographic proofs.
DNA records are stored on the Nodus network and cannot be arbitrarily removed or reassigned. As long as the network exists, your identity record does too.
The same DNA name can be used across all CPUNK services: identity, messaging, governance, and more. It acts as a universal namespace within the ecosystem.
DNA is tightly integrated with the CPUNK DNA-Messenger app. Your identity is not just a label — it directly powers E2E encrypted, post-quantum-secure communication.
A simple, cryptographically enforced lifecycle: register, verify, and use — all tied to your CF20 wallet and managed through DNA-Messenger.
Registration is performed inside DNA-Messenger – the app is your wallet.
Web-based registration has been deprecated in favor of the application workflow.
2️⃣ Stored on Nodus network
3️⃣ Use across the ecosystem
DNA is designed to survive the transition to quantum computing while minimizing unnecessary data exposure.
DNA registration is now handled directly inside the DNA-Messenger application. Use the app to claim your name, bind it to your wallet, and unlock quantum-safe identity and messaging across the CPUNK ecosystem.
Requirements: DNA-Messenger app + unique DNA name (3–20 characters). Registration is free.
