Join #TheWeb3Revolution with a decentralized username, website and email domain.
WNS is a decentralized [NFT] domain provider. They offer the highly universal [.web3] extension, which is also interchangeable for NFT based extensions (eg .punk). Not only can you build decentralized websites on these human readable payment addresses, you’ll also be able to use them to login across their suite of dApps, including the soon to be released Web3 wallet & Web3 mail (fully decentralized email)!
Build powerful websites using popular Javascript frameworks, upload to IPFS & create a single/ stable IPNS link - no more spending gas to change the link every time you update. Then, link this to your WNS domain in a matter of seconds & you have your very own fully decentralized website.
This can then either be resolved via their Chrome extension, or natively in any browser by adding [.auto] onto the end. But fear not... we will surely see more & more integrations with big browsers as Web3 gains more traction. In fact, search volume for the term ‘web3’ on Google has increased by around 700% in the past year alone!
‘Web3’ encompasses crypto, NFTs and everything else decentralization. It’s a highly universal term, which positions WNS & their [.web3] extension well for mass adoption.
Their aspiration to go multi-chain further reflects their blockchain agnostic extension [.web3]. This will allow registrants to bridge their domains over to a completely separate L1 chain, if they wish.
With WNS, you OWN & CONTROL your domain FOREVER!
Although [.web3] is the default extension for WNS, registrants do fully own their [name] to the left of the dot (across all extensions). As such they’re able to exchange the extension with an NFT themed one. For example, they can change to [.punk], providing they own a Cryptopunk NFT. This adds another layer to Web3 identity, allowing people to express their loyalty to a particular community within it.
Adding yet another layer on top of this though, is their new avatar feature. With this, registrants can set a custom background image to their domain, enhancing its meaning to really stand out from the crowd, or simply complementing their NFT themed extension.
Not only are WNS working on their own Web3 wallet, their proprietary Web3 mail platform (utilising IPFS for fully encrypted & decentralized email) is also very close to release. WNS holders will of course be able to login using their WNS domains, but true to Web3 style, access will eventually be opened up to other blockchain-naming-services, eg. ENS.
Having been introduced to crypto in 2014, Patrick began learning about cryptographic hash functions, as well as diving deep into the use cases / solutions blockchain tech could provide. From here, having realised there was still plenty of value to be added to the blockchain-naming space, WNS domains was founded in 2021.
Firstly, I would like to thank Sexy.web3 and D3CONOMIST for inviting me for an interview on their platform.
Can you give a brief account of your personal journey in crypto and what led you to this point?
I was introduced to crypto in 2014 but got more familiar with it in 2015 after learning more about the cryptographic hash functions. I have engaged with the crypto space in various phases. Earlier, I had more of an academic outlook on it, which transformed it into an investment interest and later into a new technology that truly has the potential to change the future.
What motivated you to start WNS? Was it something in particular or a number of things?
As I familiarized myself more with the various use cases and solutions that blockchain technology provides, I dove deep into it. We really felt that little had been done in the crypto domain space for the past 2-3 years and the domain space was still very unexplored. Your domain can be more than just a fancy way to transfer assets. Thus, believing we could add some value to the space, we started WNS.
What utility do you aim to provide users that you feel your [blockchain] competitors don’t offer right now.. i.e. what is your USP?
WNS is committed to providing its users with the whole suite of native products and providing them with the best utility available for their domains. WNS: Marketplace, W3wallet, and W3mail are some examples of what the future looks like with WNS. As WNS matures, these solutions will be utilized much more. Also, the ".web3" extension is a more meaningful extension than any other extension now available and includes a broader range, particularly in light of our aspiration to become multi-chain. Our NFT migration function is also a unique feature that allows you to smoothly move your domain to any other qualifying extension, giving you another chance to promote your favourite NFT communities.
What is the WNS team focused on right now?
Currently, our primary emphasis is on building W3Wallet and W3Mail. We are constructing a comprehensive ecosystem for WNS and have a long-term goal as a result.
Congratulations on the new .auto resolution solution! Is the long-term goal to have big browsers resolve your SLDs natively and therefore offer a fully decentralized solution when coupled with IPFS, or do you think this is unlikely?
Thanks, I think it’s very likely that this solution will be integrated with large browsers in the future, and our goal would also be the same. Personally, I don’t think there’s any other extension that makes more sense for making and deploying decenteralized websites.
Where do you see the "Web3" heading? Can you see it completely replacing "web2" (whether the masses like it or not)? Or do you think it will remain an "alternative" network belonging to a subculture alone?
I think there won’t be a hard line dividing the two. Progression from Web1 to Web2 was a natural course, and the same will be the case with mass adoption of Web3. We won’t even realize how deeply the Web 3 will become a part of our day to day lives in the coming years. Even now, almost everyone has heard about crypto through someone or somewhere, and as we know, familiarity is the most essential prerequisite for adoption, thus making mass adoption a more likely reality.
What does the term decentralization mean to you in one simple sentence?
For me, decentralization is “truly democratic technology.”
One of the FEW before the MANY...
This 1/1 [OG] WNS-D3CONOMIST is the cheeky blockchain-domain disrupter representing @WNSdomains...
Through their shear tenacity & grit, they’re forging a brave new [decentralized] blockchain domain, which they hope will be prosperous for the MANY, not just the FEW!
All earnings will be reinvested in WNS domains and shared as prizes with followers of @WNSdomains and @D3CONOMIST.
Details of how to enter the giveaway will be announced soon on the @D3CONOMIST Twitter…
This article was written & published by D3CONOMIST. Special thanks to @WNSdomains for their support.
D3CONOMIST is a publication, network & launchpad on the hunt for the next big innovation Web3. We’re launching the D3CONOMISTS NFT for exclusive access to our network, launchpad & more. The launchpad will give holders opportunities to invest in cutting edge projects at seed round prices. As a team, we’ve been involved in Crypto / Web3 for over a decade now and have established some strong connections in the space. As such, we already have some well backed projects who are looking to launch with us.
Mint our NFT and start investing from the word GO!
