## Overview:
ONS-server is meant to be a highly scalable server for [Openname System](https://openname.org). It is meant to be blockchain-agnostic (currently uses the Namecoin blockchain) and is primarily meant for scaling read-only calls to the underlying blockchain. For achieving high throughput ons-server loads the entire namespace into memcached and then keeps the in-memory copy consistent with the blockchain.

For achieving high throughput ons-server loads the entire namespace into memcached and then keeps the in-memory copy consistent with the blockchain. Read-only calls never hit disk and their scalability is completely decoupled from the scalability properties of the underlying database.
