Build a shortlink resolver service allowing redirection of Bonfida/ANS domains, providing a memorable domain for .sol owners to link to their preferred website.
Overview:
This RFP aims to provide funding for the development of a shortlink resolver service (like bit.ly) for Bonfida/ANS domains. For instance, any one can simple create their own “htttp://s.me/jwng.sol” type of website, by simply verifying their Bonifida/ANS domains, which they can then link to their portfolio or company websites.Why is this important?
Only certain browsers will directly support typing domain names like “.sol” in the web browser and getting automatically resolved to desire websites, Hence, a resolver would give a memorable domain for .sol owners to redirect to their preferred websites.Additionally, if the information is stored in Arweave permaweb, utilizing a gateway with a content identifier (CID) for redirection, allowing users to easily switch/swap gateways to access the same information when needed, would further enhance the functionality. Therefore, it is recommended to explore the implementation of this shortlink resolver service to improve user experience and accessibility
