Unstoppable Domains and Blockchain.com have just announced an exciting partnership to bring the .blockchain domain to life. Here’s everything you need to know about this groundbreaking development.
Revolutionizing Digital Identity with .blockchain
Unstoppable Domains and Blockchain.com are on a mission to enhance Web3 adoption. They’ve partnered to launch the “.blockchain” Web3 domain. This new domain aims to provide a user-friendly, low-cost digital identity solution. It’s set to make waves in the crypto community and beyond.
The Road to ICANN Approval
The partnership plans to register the .blockchain domain with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN is the global authority on IP addresses and domain names. They will implement new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) by the second quarter of 2026.
Unstoppable Domains and Blockchain.com have one year to prepare for the domain application. This timeline ensures that they can fine-tune their offering to meet all necessary requirements.
Blockchain.com’s Impressive Stats
Blockchain.com brings significant experience to the table:
– 40 million verified users.
– Over 90 million crypto wallets created.
– $1.2 trillion in crypto transactions supported.
These numbers underscore the potential impact of the .blockchain domain on the broader digital ecosystem.
Sandy Carter, the COO of Unstoppable Domains, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership. She highlighted the goal of delivering a low-cost digital identity solution to enhance the Web3 experience for everyone.
Lane Kasselman, the President of Blockchain.com, echoed this sentiment. He emphasized their dedication to creating a user-focused web and their excitement to engage with ICANN.
Once ICANN approves the .blockchain domain, users worldwide will be able to register these domains. This will be a significant step for both the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Unstoppable Domains also plans to offer specialized domain names for users, brands, and companies, further broadening the appeal.
