Seems like we need a chain of custody for domains, not just current ownership. Kinda like real estate. And then accounts are tied not just to the ownership state, but also the ownership instance ID.
Just don't tell the web 3.0 folks cause I don't necessarily mean a blockchain.
Web 3 already tried this, it was called Handshake. I think their downfall is they wanted to replace ICANN / DNS rather than work with and alongside the current system.
shame, ICANN sucks
I would argue the crypto bros are worse

Isn't this literally what certificate chains are for? Establishing a chain or custody - or rather, a chain of liability?
You don't need a whole chain of custody, you just need to know that the current owner is the one you care about. TXT DNS records or magic URLs can do the trick.
