Unstoppable Domains, the leading platform for user-owned digital identity, is set to redefine the Web3 domain landscape by becoming the go-to platform for all leading naming systems and blockchains. Starting with the inclusion of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) based .eth domains, Unstoppable Domains aims to provide a comprehensive one-stop shop experience for domain purchases, enabling users to seamlessly acquire their .eth, .nft, .crypto, and .polygon domains in a single platform.



The launch of .eth domains on Unstoppable Domains marks a significant milestone, as it allows users to purchase these domains natively through the platform. By incorporating .eth domains into Unstoppable, users gain access to a wider range of features and services that cater to a broader audience.

Moreover, Unstoppable Domains ensures that all .eth domains purchased on their platform are registered through the ENS smart contract, guaranteeing the same full functionality as any other .eth domain without the risk of naming collisions.

Matt Gould, CEO and Co-Founder of Unstoppable Domains, expressed the importance of collaboration within the Web3 industry, stating:

"There's room for all of us in Web3, and it's time for us to move forward as an industry — together."

The aim of Unstoppable Domains is to create an easily accessible space for users to manage and purchase all their Web3 domains, with plans to extend support to additional naming systems and blockchains in the future.

With the addition of .eth domains, Unstoppable Domains introduces new functionality to enhance the user experience:

Domain Vault

Unstoppable offers an optional Domain Vault feature, allowing users to securely store their .eth or other Web3 domains in a private vault managed by Unstoppable. This offers users the flexibility to purchase .eth domains without immediately connecting them to a crypto wallet.

Additionally, the Domain Vault ensures the separation of Web3 domains from other crypto assets, providing an additional layer of security. Users retain full ownership of domains held in the vault and can transfer them to a self-custodial wallet at any time.

Auto-Renewal

Unlike Unstoppable's "buy once, own forever" approach for Web3 domains, ENS-based Web3 domains require annual renewal fees. To simplify the renewal process and prevent accidental domain loss, Unstoppable will introduce an optional auto-renewal feature for .eth domains. Users will have control over the renewal period, whether it's a few months or a few years, with a cost of $4 per renewal period.

Easy Checkout

Unstoppable aims to make purchasing Web3 domains as simple as any online transaction. Users will have multiple options for purchasing .eth domains, including credit cards, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Bitcoin, as well as 12 other cryptocurrencies.

Unstoppable has plans to introduce further management capabilities for .eth domains, such as setting crypto addresses, managing on-chain profile data, and facilitating domain transfers within the Unstoppable experience. Users will also have the option to manage records, transfer domains, and pay renewal fees directly through ENS.

The pricing for .eth domains on Unstoppable will align with the ENS website, with additional services like Unstoppable Parking and auto-renewal available. It is important to note that while .eth domains purchased through Unstoppable will be minted on the Ethereum blockchain, they will not initially function with Unstoppable's 860+ integrations.

Unstoppable Domains also extends its patent non-assertion pledge to .eth domains. This pledge, publicly announced in February, ensures that Unstoppable will not assert its patents against Alliance members who adopt the Alliance's interoperability and security standards. For more details, interested parties can visit the Web3 Domain Alliance website.
As the leading platforms for Web3 domains, Unstoppable Domains and ENS boast 3.6 million and 2.7 million registered domains, respectively.
By bringing .eth domains to the Unstoppable platform, Unstoppable Domains aims to provide users with a unified and intuitive registrar that combines the strengths of both platforms. This integration not only expands access to Web3 domains but also simplifies the domain acquisition process, making it more accessible to a wider audience.

Unstoppable Domains has already garnered support for an extensive range of Web3 top-level domains, including .nft, .crypto, .wallet, .x, .zil, .dao, .bitcoin, .polygon, .kresus, .BinanceUS, .888, .coin, and .blockchain. With its commitment to empowering users through user-owned digital identity, Unstoppable Domains continues to revolutionize the Web3 domain space, facilitating the growth and adoption of decentralized technologies.
