Unstoppable Domains, Web3 domain names with multiple use cases

What is an Unstoppable Domains domain name?

A Web3 domain name from Unstoppable Domains is designed to be uncensorable and unalterable. It allows users to link an easily remembered blockchain address to their crypto wallet, website, or social media profiles, without having to worry about their domain name being censored or suspended by a third party.

A typical Ethereum address “0x13jgv[…]1g6eh7Ba” is very difficult to remember and not readable by the human eye. A Web3 domain name can then fill this gap by being directly linked to this address. So, for example, when someone enters your domain name (e.g. “clement.crypto”) into a wallet to transmit funds to you, the latter then searches for the domain name on Ethereum, finds the associated blockchain address then executes the transaction.

The domain names available on Unstoppable Domains are new extensions (similar to .com or .fr) designed as smart contracts on public blockchains. These take the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC) networks. Moreover, mint a domain name on the Polygon blockchain does not cost gas feesthe user only has to pay the cost of the domain name itself.

Here are the different domain names offered by Unstoppable Domains:

• .crypto;
• .nft;
• .x;
• .wallet;
• .bitcoin;
• .dao;
• .888;
• .zil;
• .blockchain.

While traditional domain names are managed by a handful of players, a blockchain domain name is stored in the wallet of its owner, like a cryptocurrency. So, no third party entity can make it disappear or remove the associated content.
