Unstoppable Domains is a company based in San Francisco that offers unique domain name extensions connected to a blockchain instead of the traditional Domain Name System (DNS). They manage extensions like .crypto, .x, and .wallet, which are linked to the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. This allows you to create and own domain names like brad.crypto or brad.wallet, which are registered on public blockchains instead of private databases used by traditional domain name services.
The benefits come from the decentralized nature of blockchains. This has several consequences:
- First, when you purchase a domain name like brad.crypto, you own it forever. Youre actually buying a non-fungible token (NFT) on the Ethereum or Polygon blockchain. In contrast, when you buy brad.com, youre renting access to the name from an organization like Verisign that manages domain name lists on its servers. Thats why you have to pay yearly to keep a .com domain name.
- Another advantage is that, since you truly own and control the NFT/domain name, you can quickly transfer the domain name to someone else by sending the NFT to another address. In the traditional DNS system, you might have to wait months for an intermediary to approve your transfer.
- Lastly, having your domain name on a public blockchain offers better protection against censorship. While .com domain names can be subject to legal actions and regional restrictions (like Chinas Great Firewall), domain names on public blockchains are nearly impossible to take down or block.
You can buy an Unstoppable Domain for as low as $5, with no yearly renewal fees and no way for anyone to tamper with your domain. Use this link to get a 30% discount on your purchase!
Simplify crypto payments
You can link multiple complicated cryptocurrency addresses to one easy-to-read domain name. For instance, if you buy brad.crypto, you can connect your Ethereum, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and other over 290 cryptocurrency addresses to it through the Unstoppable Domains portal. People using supported wallets (like the Bitcoin.com Wallet) can then send you any of those cryptocurrencies by typing brad.crypto instead of the usual long alphanumeric wallet address.
Decentralized websites
There are pre-made templates available for creating gallery-style websites to display your NFT artwork and collectibles. Heres a guide on how to build a decentralized website (dweb) using Unstoppable Domains.
Control your identity on Web3
With Web3 domains, your username is not tied to a single website or app; you can use it everywhere. This lets you take charge of your digital identity and truly own your name online. Potential uses include signing in to websites and apps or applying for a loan. Web3 identity is still very new, but the potential is enormous.
- Tap on the Discovery icon from the home screen, then select Overview.
- Scroll down to the Services section.
- Choose Unstoppable Domains and tap Launch Service.
- Type the domain you want to buy in the search bar, like Smile.crypto. If its available, the price will be displayed.
- Create an account and finish your payment. You can pay with a credit card, PayPal, or cryptocurrency and get 30% off through 5/1.
Unstoppable Web3 Domains take the form of NFTs that live on the Polygon blockchain. You can either leave your NFT in the custody of Unstoppable Domains, or your can claim it by sending it to an address you have the key for, such as your Polygon wallet in the Bitcoin.com app. Learn more about Polygon and how to use it in the Bitcoin.com app here.
After claiming your Unstoppable Domain, you can link your cryptocurrency addresses to it. For example, if you connect your Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum addresses, people can send you those cryptocurrencies using your simple Unstoppable Domain address (like Brad.crypto) instead of pasting in your long Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses. Heres how to add receiving addresses to your Unstoppable Domain.
