What is OpenNIC?
OpenNIC is a user-owned and controlled alternative DNS root system that provides an open and democratic alternative to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its domain name registries. This decentralized network allows users to resolve both existing ICANN top-level domains as well as its own unique top-level domains, offering a solution for those concerned about potential censorship or centralized control of the domain name system
