In the past was a very interesting fork of bitcoin named Namecoin (NMC). It was also merged mined together with BTC. It was a promise of decentralized domain names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namecoin https://www.namecoin.org/docs/faq/
But unfortunately the project died. Now is just a shitcoin. But for a truly decentralized system, we need a full IPv6 standard.
Have you heard of IPFS? That was a project I was interested in for a while, with the idea of an address space based on content rather than server. (You search for the hash of a piece of data and anyone hosting that data can serve it to you.)
They have a coin associated with it, Filecoin I believe.
But I haven't really kept up with it. I just thought the idea was interesting.
