We are excited to announce Unstoppable Messaging, a new domain-to-domain messaging platform coming this year. With Unstoppable Messaging, you can send encrypted messages to other domain owners using their Web3 domain, manage who can and cannot message you, target messages to specific badge holders, stay up to date with your favorite projects, and more. This works for all domains, including our original domains and the new brand TLDs.
Your Unstoppable domain is the centerpiece of your digital identity, bringing together your experiences, favorite projects, social channels, payments and much more. We’ve already seen people use their Web3 name as a single identifier on the metaverse and on social platforms. Now, with Unstoppable Messaging, we’re building a way for you to connect directly with your friends and your community within Unstoppable, using just a Web3 domain.
Here’s what Sanket Shah, Vice President Head of Growth at Polygon Labs, said about the product: “Identity is at the heart of any community. In the Polygon community, .polygon domains provide that digital identity. We are thrilled that the Polygon community is getting a Web3 solution to connect with others using only their .polygon domains with Unstoppable Messaging.”
For dapps, games, and metaverses, messaging is quickly becoming a powerful tool for building and nurturing community. Messaging allows dapps to reach specific subgroups within a larger community, helping them create strong, engaged communities. For example, Polygon Labs and its dapps can use this feature to message .polygon holders who sign up for it, making it easier to communicate and share information tailored to your interests and needs.
We’re still in the BUIDLing phase, but here’s what you can expect from Unstoppable Messaging:
- Message domain holders: Anyone with an Unstoppable domain can message other Unstoppable domain holders, whether they use .polygon, .nft, .x or any of our other domain extensions, as long as they have mined their domain to a wallet address.
- Connect with your community: In addition to peer-to-peer messaging, you can message others with badges for collections they own. Connect with your fellow 3-digit club friends or stay up to date with news about your favorite projects.
- Privacy by design: All messages are encrypted, making it ideal for discussing sensitive topics such as blockchain development. In addition, by using Web3 domains as identifiers, Unstoppable Messaging eliminates the need to share your private email address or phone number.
- Safety features: You are in control of the messages you receive. You can block individual users from sending you messages, enable only a select list of users to send you messages, or if you prefer, completely block all new messages.
Our COO and Head of Business Development, Sandy Carter, said, “Messaging allows your favorite apps, games and metaverses to build more cohesive and vibrant communities equipped to thrive in the decentralized world. We are excited to get started with Unstoppable Messaging and help our partners connect with their communities.”
Peer-to-peer messaging gives communities in Web3 a powerful communication tool. With encrypted messages, you can freely exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and build meaningful relationships with other domain owners. For example, a .nft domain owner can send a message to another domain owner to forge community, build relationships, and discuss how they use their digital identity.
We expect to launch Unstoppable Messaging by the end of 2023. You will be hearing more from us in the coming months as we continue to develop the product.
