Spaces has released Trust Anchor, a system that lets applications verify human-readable identities such as alice@bitcoin through Bitcoin rather than a central resolver. Users scan or paste a Trust ID, which compatible software uses to validate the state of the Spaces protocol from information obtained from the Bitcoin network. The identifier is generated from an anchor set containing the relevant protocol state and remains usable for 14 days, with rescans generally needed when contacts are added or a contact rotates a key. Veritas, a macOS menu-bar application, can synchronize from a checkpoint, validate Bitcoin's header chain and generate the Trust ID locally without requiring a full node. Bitcoin Core users can also use the Spaces client command space-cli trust to produce the ID as a QR code linked to a Bitcoin block. Spaces released version 0.4.2 on September 16, bringing its off-chain issuance system to mainnet with @bitcoin as its first production operator. Handles acquired through Nacho link readable names to Binary Merkle Trie script pubkeys, while a 32-byte trie-root hash is periodically committed to Bitcoin. The project says issued handles cannot later be revoked, rerouted or recovered, and @bitcoin handles cost a flat $25 on a first-come, first-served basis. The system differs from BIP-353, NIP-05 and $ENS in how it anchors names and keys, but its adoption will depend on wallets, applications and users supporting it, as earlier Namecoin experience showed the risk of name squatting.
