By Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains
At Unstoppable, we are on a mission to create a user digital identity for every person on the planet. With over 3.4 million registered domains and over 827 integrations (and counting!), we are at the forefront of the Web3 domain movement as we work to empower people to own their data and digital identities. In case you’re new here, we wanted to share a refresher on what we stand for and what we’re building.
Web3 domains are created on a public blockchain, giving people unparalleled control over their digital lives. These domains simplify cryptocurrency transactions by replacing complicated wallet addresses with easy-to-use, readable domain names and can be used with over 275 coins and tokens across multiple blockchain networks. Unlike traditional domains, Web3 domains provide full ownership and control for a lifetime, with no renewal fees required.
The Web3 philosophy is that individuals should own their digital identity and have the freedom to profit from or disclose specific information as they see fit. At Unstoppable Domains, we are aligned with this ideology to ensure that people have the utmost control and ownership over their digital lives.
In addition to personalizing wallet addresses, people can also easily sign in to nearly 500 applications using their Web3 domains as Web3 universal usernames (if you’re working on a dApp that doesn’t yet support Login with Unstoppable, let’s talk!). Moreover, Unstoppable domains are perfect for hosting decentralized websites for Web3 browsers like Opera and Brave.
One of our mottos is: utility is greater than hype. Our 827 integrations provide Unstoppable holders with a wide range of features from email to web hosting, credentials to wallet resolution, and even blockchain gaming and metaverse experiences. The depth of our partner integrations is highlighted by the staggering 30 million resolution API calls made each week.
We also offer a free Decentralized Identity (DID) solution, where users can store and present their personal information, including wallet addresses, badges, and digital collectibles, in a custom profile. This allows people to control their online identities and selectively reveal aspects as they build their Web3 networks.
Web3’s promise is only fulfilled if people really own their data. That’s why we’re committed to advancing the Web3 domain industry through the Web3 Domain Alliance. This initiative by 57 leading Web3 companies aims to support the development of the Web3 domain space, facilitate collaboration between Web3 and metaverse domain providers, and partner with ICANN, the organization responsible for global domain name management . The alliance aims to establish itself as both an industry trade group and a major player in Web3 domain name development. This member-led group is always looking for more partners to develop best practices to keep the Web3 community safe (learn more here).
With a strong roadmap, a wide range of integrations, enhanced retention measures and more than ten patents, our journey has only just begun. At Unstoppable, we continue to drive innovation and provide people with the tools they need to truly take ownership of their digital identity.
