Bitcoin has a problem no price chart can fix.
A payment still starts with a string like (bc1pknhdaw3jyhvcalyrkulw2hwmqvc5q65ch9gkpnvvhrfajyedjgvqmn3w0c). Sixty-two characters. One wrong paste and the money is gone. People have lived with that since the first wallet, and they have called it normal. It is not normal. Bitcoin never got a name layer, until now.
Spaces Protocol is that layer, built on Bitcoin itself. A space is a community name, held like a coin.
A handle under it is a name a person can say out loud. alice@bitcoin instead of a string no one can check by eye.
The protocol is live on mainnet. Auctions burn bitcoin. The proof a wallet needs is small enough to check against a node.
This is the moment the unreadable address stops being the whole product.
