Summary
Blockchain.com: the crypto company and its new Web3 domain enabled for DNS
Blockchain.com collaborates with Unstoppable Domains to launch its new DNS-enabled Web3 domain: “.blockchain”.
In practice, the leading crypto finance company has announced its strategy to create one of the first Web3 domains enabled by DNS through a request to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Together with Unstoppable Domains, the Web3 domain of “.blockchain” will be presented in time for the anticipated six-year ICANN registration program next year.
This would mean that if the request is accepted, the .blockchain domain will be ready to join the ranks of generic top-level domains registered by ICANN such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and others.
In this regard, Lane Kasselman, president of Blockchain.com commented as follows:
“Joining forces with Unstoppable Domains to drive the next evolution of web domains is exciting. Our joint efforts underscore our dedication to a user-centric web. We look forward to engaging with ICANN to realize our shared vision”
Blockchain.com: the crypto company partners with Unstoppable Domains for the Web3 domain
With a solid experience in generating adoption, Blockchain.com is the perfect partner to help Unstoppable bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 domains.
Just think that over 40 million verified users on Blockchain.com have created more than 90 million wallets and the company has supported over 1.2 trillion dollars in cryptocurrency transactions.
Not only that, its all-encompassing and sector-specific nature makes .blockchain an ideal candidate to promote widespread adoption of blockchain-based companies in the Web2 ecosystem.
On the other hand, to date, Unstoppable Domains has been at the forefront in using blockchain technology to give users and brands control over their digital identities.
Sandy Carter, COO di Unstoppable Domains, commented:
“We are excited to collaborate with Blockchain.com in this ambitious venture. Our alliance is ready to launch with a Web3 domain to test and provide a low-cost solution. This is a step forward to ensure we can plan and strategize the next works of ICANN”.
The success of this partnership will allow any brand to collaborate with Unstoppable to expand the reach of existing Web3 domains, providing a low-cost integrated naming solution before the next ICANN round.
This opportunity extends beyond companies to include cities and locations, with Unstoppable Domains responsible for creating the first city-focused Web3 domain, “.Austin”.

Unstoppable Domains and Women in Tech sponsored by President Macron
Recently, Unstoppable Domains formed a partnership with the renowned organization Women in Tech, on the occasion of their Global Summit, sponsored by President Emmanuel Macron.
In practice, during the Women in Tech Global Summit 2024, the first Web3 top-level domain (TLD) in the world, dedicated to women, will be launched.
This is “.WITG”, and, in addition to strengthening the digital identity of the brand, it allows its community to become ambassadors on social media and in Web3 communities. Not only that, the women of the community will be able to network and access special educational resources, such as blockchain and AI.
