TREE NEWS update: Spaces has launched Trust Anchor, enabling apps to verify human-readable identities directly on Bitcoin without relying on centralized servers. Users can obtain a single Trust ID and scan or paste it into Spaces-compatible apps to verify identifiers such as alice@bitcoin against locally validated Spaces protocol state. The Trust ID is generated from the Bitcoin block header chain and Spaces’ cumulative state, with the Veritas app on macOS able to produce it without running a full Bitcoin node.

The notable shift here is architectural: identity verification moves from a server a company operates to state a user's device derives from Bitcoin's block header chain, which changes who can revoke or censor an identifier. That matters most for app builders weighing decentralized naming against the UX and node requirements that have historically made such systems impractical. Whether lightweight clients like Veritas can keep that verification trustworthy without a full node — and whether compatible apps adopt the namespace — is the open question.
