A Real Name System refers to a framework that mandates users to link their digital identities to verifiable legal names. This system aims to enhance accountability, deter illicit activities, and facilitate regulatory compliance within digital platforms. It contrasts with anonymous or pseudonymous systems by requiring explicit identification for participation. Such implementation often involves robust identity verification processes.
