&#x1f525; Another powerful feature is on the horizon! &#x1f440;&#x1f447;&#x1f3fc; Join our sneak peek into the eCash Alias development and get ready to say goodbye to complicated crypto addresses &#x1f609;And say &#x1f44b;&#x1f3fc; to customizable &amp; tradable usernames for your eCash transactions &#x1f60d;<h2 id="header-0">Introduction</h2>Crypto has always had a UX problem. &#x1f9d1;&#x1f3fc;‍&#x1f4bb;&#x1f9e9; Cryptography is complicated. It&#39;s important to design systems where the user has total control of their funds. But it&#39;s also important to make the user experience as accessible as possible.For now, the most user-friendly crypto products tend to be custodial. The most secure options are often too complicated for new users.&#x1f916; Crypto addresses in particular are a big problem because they&#39;re meant for machines, making them difficult to read, remember, and use.Usernames &amp; passwords are a growing hassle. Credit cards remain the go-to option for internet payments, despite often requiring private info.&#x1f4ad; Imagine how difficult it would be to use the internet — filling out forms, registering for services... — if email addresses were required to be byzantine cryptographic strings like &#39;0x6eA158159...&#39;, they probably wouldn&#39;t have become the dominant username of the internet.<img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/60d1114fcb4e3e7fbb5115ad/64912e5dd3154796a0512835_Joey%20Aliases.jpg" />Cashtab Lead Dev - Joey KingCrypto can improve both of these experiences with the right UI/UX tools.✅Ethereum&#39;s ENS has done this successfully, allowing users to register a handle like they would a domain or ✉️ address. Similar efforts on bitcoin were throttled by on-chain scaling challenges.&#x1f4eb; eCash aliases offer the best of ENS, with a roadmap to fully customizable and tradable aliases.Unlike ENS, phase 1 alias registrations last forever - there is no annual maintenance fee. &#x1f4aa;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f6e0; Full feature parity with ENS will take additional tools and protocol work, so we&#39;re launching in phases. &#x1f680;&#x1f469;&#x1f3fb;‍&#x1f4bb; In phase one, users will be able to register an alias for a fee based on length. In later phases, we plan to support tradeable, NFT-based aliases. &#x1f4b1;<h2 id="header-1">So, how will Phase 1 Aliases work? &#x1f9d0;</h2>The eCash Alias system uses an eCash transaction to register an alias to an address on-chain. Because the blockchain is permanent, registrations cannot be reversed. If you buy an alias, it&#39;s yours (unless &amp; until you decide to sell it).&#x1f4c3; The specs can be found at: <a href="https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/blob/master/doc/standards/ecash-alias.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/blob/master/doc/standards/ecash-alias.md</a>⚙️ An open-source reference indexer (Chronik) is being built out to support easy implementation of aliases for eCash wallets.&#x1f680; <a href="https://cashtab.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cashtab wallet</a> will support registering and using aliases as soon as the protocol is live.<img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/60d1114fcb4e3e7fbb5115ad/64912eadd08ddae77bd3e09c_Cashtab%20Aliases.png" />A preview of eCash AliasesTo claim your alias, you will simply visit the new &#34;Alias&#34; page in <a href="https://cashtab.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cashtab</a>, type in your desired alias, &amp; click &#34;register&#34;.If the alias hasn&#39;t been taken yet, it&#39;s yours. Because the alias is stored on the blockchain, it&#39;s yours everywhere on the web — not just in Cashtab.<h2 id="header-2">What&#39;s next?</h2>&#x1f525; Moving forward, eCash will match popular features of ENS, like an Alias marketplace. To prioritize a professional, permanent feature, we will launch phase 1 before introducing a user-friendly interface for trading aliases.⛓ UTXO chains like eCash are capable of matching many ETH-like features, in addition to reaching world scale without the need for Layer 2 solutions. &#x1f525;&#x1f3d7; eCash Aliases is only the first of many apps and smart contract like features that will be built out on eCash!Phase 1 of eCash Aliases could have been released a few months ago. However, taking the time to evaluate the spec and build out the supporting app infrastructure — while ensuring no introduction of technical debt — is the right way to do it. ✅<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/3d16dda135134a59a2fa7c22f11bdd4d.gif" />⚙️ Up next, we need to build an API for the alias-server to best support implementing wallets. This was completed already for an earlier version of the spec, so no major roadblocks are expected.We&#39;re already able to register Alias txs according to the spec, although the price schedule has not been finalized.<blockquote>&#34;We could get it out this month if we rushed it, but we aren&#39;t going to rush it.&#34; - Cashtab lead dev Joey King</blockquote>So as always no ETA, but #Soon™️ &#x1f609;&#x1f5de; For more XECiting info on developments, check out our <a href="https://e.cash/blog/chronik-indexer-development-sneak-peek-may-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chronik Development Sneak Peek</a>, and don’t forget to join our official communities! &#x1f609;➡️ http://ecash.community&#x1f9d1;‍&#x1f4bb; Follow dev progress:➡️ <a href="https://reviews.bitcoinabc.org/feed/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://reviews.bitcoinabc.org/feed/</a>Originally Published: <a href="https://e.cash/blog/ecash-aliases-development-sneak-peek-june-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://e.cash/blog/ecash-aliases-development-sneak-peek-june-2023</a>
