Tezos Domains allows you to associate domain names like alice.tez with addresses like tz1VBLpuDKMoJuHRLZ4HrCgRuiLpEr7zZx2E and other information.

Domains can be used to associate an address, share an avatar, publish contact information and more. Wallets and other projects in the ecosystem will let you use domain names directly instead of addresses and show domain names where Tezos addresses would be normally.

The long term plan for Tezos Domains includes allowing websites to be built on Tezos Domains using decentralized content hosting like IPFS. This could serve as an alternative to traditional centralized solutions (i.e. DNS with centralized content hosting). Please stay tuned for futher updates on this.

The information you can currently associate with your domain include:

Once you register your domain, you will be able to change this data in the domain details screen.

By registering a domain you get control of your own personal namespace. You can create any number of subdomains and use it for different purposes. For example when owning acme.tez, the owner could create a structure like this:

Reverse record allow other users to see your registered domain instead of your long Tezos address. Reverse records can be set up from your domain details screen.

Tezos Domains lets you host a website using the Interplanetary File System. If you own a Tezos domain like yourname.tez, you can easily point it to IPFS content, and it will be available to the public under [https://yourname.tez.page/](https://yourname.tez.page/). You can use a pinning service like Pinata to pin your content on IPFS for free.

If you already have website content available via IPFS or HTTP, you can add a Content URL field under Additional Data on your domain management screen.

The hosted website will work if it’s using one of the following schemes:

After saving the domain, your website will become available under https://<domain>.tez.page/.

This is an experimental feature and they offer no guarantees on the service quality or availability in the future.

souce: Tezos Domains

Tezos Domains doesn’t have an own token yet but could launch one in the future because they’ve already confirmed that they will launch their DAO in 2022. Buying a domain may likely make you eligible for an airdrop if they launch an own token.
