'''LNS''' (the LEZ Name Service) is a name service by jefdiesel that runs on the Logos Execution Zone (LEZ). Its Names app for [[Basecamp]] lets a person post, message and get paid under a name, using [[Logos Messaging]] for messages.

== What it does ==
* It registers a short name, such as <code>jef</code>, on LEZ. On testnet a name takes a refundable deposit of 1,000,000 and does not expire.
* The chain sees only an identifier derived from the name, never the name itself. A name held from a private account changes through a zero-knowledge proof made on the user's machine.
* A name has a profile and a page of its own HTML, which anyone who knows the name can read.
* A public board holds posts, replies, likes and follows, each signed by a name.
* Direct messages and group chats between names are end-to-end encrypted over Logos Messaging, through Basecamp's chat module.
* Payments to a name go from a private account, and the chain does not show who paid whom or how much.
* A second anonymous name can be made, held by its own private account, so nothing on chain links it to the main name.
* A command line client, a JavaScript resolver and a read-only MCP server for AI agents are in the same repository.

Stage: Prototype. The README says it is "Live on the public LEZ testnet". It also says it was "Suggested as a Logos RFP". The README does not say whether it is an official Logos project.

== Use it ==
# Install the command line client with the install line in the README, then run <code>names setup</code>. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (x86_64), and uses the public LEZ testnet by default.
# In Basecamp 0.3.2, open Settings, then Package Repositories, and add <code>https://logos-names.wrapit.workers.dev/basecamp/logos-repo.json</code>.
# Install Names from Applications, not from Package Manager. The install brings both the Names app and the Names module.
# Press Launch. The Welcome screen checks the command line client and walks through picking a name.
* Welcome's Get free tokens button gives 2,000,000 testnet LEZ once a day from the Names faucet. The README says this needs both the client and the app on 0.10 or later.
* A private registration takes about 20 minutes, and each private change is a proof on the user's machine that takes a few minutes.

== Build it ==
* It needs Rust 1.98.1 and the RISC Zero toolchain (cargo-risczero 3.0.5).
* <code>cargo test -p names_core -p names_seal</code> tests the program logic without a chain.
* <code>cargo build --release -p names_methods</code> builds the guest, and <code>cargo build --release -p names_cli</code> builds the client.
* The README says this guest build is not reproducible. A reproducible build with <code>cargo risczero build</code> needs Docker.

== Releases ==
Latest Basecamp tag: basecamp-v0.10.3, 30 October 2026. A later command line tag, cli-20261102-1326, is dated 2 November 2026. The Names app metadata.json gives 0.10.3, and the Names module metadata.json gives 0.10.0.
