Transactions

Address alias

Problem

Addresses are unfriendly to users, as they cannot be memorized due to their length and random sequence of characters. Users are also not used to operating with them.

Solution

The user can create an alias (e.g. username) that replaces the addressand improves the transparency of transactions and communication with other users. The pattern can be used in a mobile or web application. Aliases that users select independently are easier for them to remember.

Example: Status

User can set aliases for his accounts (addresses) in order to minimize mistakes in transactions.
