Introducing Envoi

Names are one of the oldest coordination systems on the internet.

Before wallets, hashes, APIs, smart contracts, and URLs — there were names.

Names allow humans to:

• discover
• remember
• route
• organize
• trust
• coordinate

But in Web3, identity and naming infrastructure still feels fragmented.

• Wallet addresses are difficult to use.
• Profiles are scattered.
• Applications implement incompatible metadata systems.
• Cross-chain identity remains inconsistent.
• On-chain content resolution is still primitive.

We think the next generation of Web3 infrastructure needs something more unified.

That is why we are building Envoi.

What Is Envoi?

Envoi is a naming and identity infrastructure layer designed for the decentralized internet.

At its core, Envoi is focused on:

• decentralized naming
• programmable identity
• resolver infrastructure
• on-chain metadata
• portable profiles
• content routing
• cross-application interoperability

But Envoi is not just “another naming service.”

The larger vision is to create a programmable identity and resolution layer for users, applications, agents, protocols, assets, and services across decentralized ecosystems.

Why Naming Infrastructure Matters

Naming systems are foundational infrastructure.

DNS helped organize the traditional internet by creating discoverability, routing, trust, and usability.

Web3 still lacks a mature equivalent.

Today:

• addresses are difficult to remember
• profiles are fragmented
• metadata standards vary widely
• applications create isolated identity systems
• interoperability remains limited

This creates friction everywhere: onboarding, payments, governance, social identity, NFTs, applications, agents, messaging, content resolution.

A unified naming and resolver layer helps reduce that fragmentation.

Beyond Wallet Addresses

A wallet address should not be your identity.

It should be one endpoint attached to your identity.

Envoi is designed around the idea that identity should be programmable, portable, extensible, composable, and human-readable.

An Envoi name may eventually resolve to:

• wallet addresses
• profile metadata
• social links
• application endpoints
• payment routes
• agent endpoints
• decentralized content
• execution permissions
• service discovery records

Identity becomes more than ownership.

It becomes coordination infrastructure.

Resolver Infrastructure

One of the most important pieces of Envoi is the resolver model.

Resolvers allow names to dynamically point to:

• addresses
• metadata
• applications
• content
• external systems

Rather than forcing all information into a single rigid standard, Envoi is designed around flexible resolver types and extensible metadata systems.

This allows applications to evolve independently while still remaining interoperable.

We are particularly interested in:

• decentralized content resolution
• on-chain metadata indexing
• programmable records
• cross-application compatibility
• agent-readable identity systems

Identity for the Agent Era

As the internet moves toward:

• autonomous agents
• programmable execution
• machine-native payments
• AI coordination systems

identity infrastructure becomes even more important.

Agents will need:

• names
• permissions
• payment routes
• service endpoints
• execution rights
• reputations
• discovery systems

In many ways, the next generation of naming infrastructure may become coordination infrastructure for autonomous systems.

Envoi is being designed with that future in mind.

Built for Algorand and Voi

Envoi is initially being developed around the Algorand and Voi ecosystems:

• fast finality
• low transaction costs
• scalable infrastructure
• strong UX potential

These ecosystems create an opportunity to build identity systems that are lightweight, composable, accessible, and deeply integrated with applications.

Rather than treating naming as an isolated product, we see it as foundational infrastructure for the broader ecosystem.

A More Programmable Internet

One of the most exciting aspects of decentralized infrastructure is that identity becomes programmable.

A name is no longer just text in a registry.

It becomes:

• a routing layer
• a metadata layer
• a coordination layer
• an execution layer
• a discovery layer

This enables entirely new kinds of applications:

• portable profiles
• programmable payments
• agent coordination
• decentralized publishing
• cross-chain identity
• on-chain service discovery
• dynamic application routing

The internet becomes more composable.

The Long-Term Vision

Long term, we believe identity infrastructure should:

• work across applications
• support multiple chains
• remain human-readable
• enable programmable coordination
• support both humans and agents

The decentralized internet needs better routing, better discovery, better identity portability, and better interoperability.

Envoi is an attempt to help build that foundation.

What’s Next

We are continuing to explore:

• decentralized resolver systems
• programmable metadata standards
• ENFS content resolution
• cross-chain identity
• reverse lookup systems
• application-specific resolver types
• agent-native identity infrastructure
• portable execution routing

The future internet will not just connect websites.

It will connect applications, agents, protocols, identities, and economic systems.

Envoi is being built for that future.
