No. I haven't kept up to date on blockchain technologies as they never looked particularly great to me, but..

I donno if OnionNS is susceptible to these attacks, as it's threat model is slightly different. > I think you will find that a number of users are unlikely to > exclusively use bookmarks and not use web links.
