Don't have time (nor the interest really) but found the reference docs, seems to explain how it works:

- https://github.com/unstoppabledomains/zns

- https://github.com/unstoppabledomains/zns/blob/master/REGIST...

- https://github.com/unstoppabledomains/zns/blob/master/RESOLV...

- https://github.com/unstoppabledomains/zns/blob/master/REGIST...

So in the end, I think there is a central registrar for each gTLD, so basically the same as we're doing now, just a different organization behind it and blockchain!1!11oneone

The Registrar is an ethereum contract, not a company, though. I believe this means that once you have a domain tied to your wallet, nobody can take it down or transfer it without your private keys. The Admins can only sell new domains.
