Address Lookup

The RNS Protocol aims to make it easy to use The Root Network. It does this by providing a simple way to use human-readable names instead of long machine-readable addresses.

Getting the users EOA or FuturePass Address
Forward Lookup

The goal here is to take a name, such as legend.root, and convert it to an address, such as 0x2ac7d999ae4ceae1f1dbe497c12e64f1f6b0f231.

legend.root➡️0x2ac...f231

The simplest thing you can do is start with a name, and resolve it to an address. We call this a "forward lookup". Think of places where users can enter names, such as sending transactions, chatting, etc.
