What is Web3 name?

A web3 name is a human-readable address for a wallet: you.u instead of 0x7f3a9c...42f1. Names resolve on-chain (and via DNS bridges) to whatever address their owner points them at, turning a copying hazard into a readable handle.

For payments the effect is concrete: invoices to names instead of hex, fewer support tickets from failed sends, and a namespace a brand can actually hold. The name is the address book entry the payer reads.
