Testnet Namespace Creation

A Namespace is a blockchain equivalent to a website domain. It is a unique place to link your game company, its games, and tokens (SDAs) on the blockchain.

Creating a namespace for game onboarding is necessary as it enables gamers to verify their tokens' authenticity easily and for systems to read off the blockchain and display recognizable names.

There are 2 ways to create namespace:
