In the early-mid ’90s any talk about the ‘internet’ or ‘domains’ was met with raised eyebrows that caused others to perceive you as a mental patient who had forgotten to administer your prescribed dosage of daily medication. “Sorry, but I’m not interested” was the general reply to the overflow of ideas you envisaged with this new tech, but at each juncture, you were shooed away by disinterested people. You see, human beings often reject what they cannot calibrate or comprehend, and the natural disposition to walk away is overwhelming.

Retrospectively, those who walked away from the opportunity to purchase a dotcom domain now realize that ignorance isn’t always bliss, and had they taken the time to consider the facts instead of assuming it as fiction, they too could have ridden the wave of the world wide web onto the welcoming shores of financial freedom. Well, history is repeating itself, and those who have assessed the errors of past peoples -and as a corollary, their immense regret for not having the foresight to envision a world that would be ‘governed’ by domains- will eventually evolve their financial status to be recognized as ‘visionaries’ of the new-age internet that is emerging…welcome to web3!

Of Gateways and Wallets…

In a world where financial transactions are controlled by centralized authorities, Bitcoin was a gateway that opened the doors to new horizons exhibiting blockchain technology as a tool for data democracy in addition to a decentralized financial system. For the first time since the centralized banking systems, we now have a P2P method of sending and receiving money in the form of cryptocurrencies. There was however a pivotal problem that required significant solving. Human beings, whilst possessing the brilliance to create such magnificent tools, are not famed for memorizing lengthy and confusing numbers. This is one of the reasons why we store the mobile/cellphone numbers of the people we engage with by their names as it would be extremely difficult to memorize specific 10-12 digit phone numbers per person. Add in a 30+ character hexadecimal key to the mix when sending money, and the inconvenience is complicated exponentially.

Whilst crypto wallets are gateways to bypassing the centralized middle-men structures, the danger of sending money to the wrong recipient is a risk that people don’t want to take. Hence, this fear acted as a barrier to those who were not already in the crypto space and preferred the option of the currently available systems notwithstanding their centralized nature. The next big question that required solving was, “Is there a viable, practical solution to this problem?” Enter Unstoppable Domains…

Unstoppable Domains…Solving Complex Problems!

Unstoppable Domains is a San Francisco-based tech company that allows customers to create domain names built on blockchain technology. The NFT (non-fungible tokens) domains translate the addresses of cryptocurrency wallets into names that are easier to understand.  To receive or send crypto, all someone needs to know is your blockchain domain. No more concerns about ‘banking days’ or following long queues upon the schedule and availability of a centralized bank. Enter ‘yourname.crypto’ and voila! Within a matter of seconds, you have sent money across the world with relative ease.

Convenience is Key!

Another benefit of these crypto domains is the convenience of hiding long crypto wallet addresses, thus simplifying cryptocurrency payments. This is a factor that Unstoppable Domains believe will ease mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. The crypto community has demonstrated a favourable interest in this and to date, there are approximately 2.4 million registrations of Unstoppable Domains already with an average mint-rate of over 1000 domains per day, and these numbers will likely increase as more people become aware of the technology.

Unstoppable Domains currently offers 10 TLD extensions, each one resonating with the kind of personality, or ideal that one prefers within the crypto-sphere.

.crypto – this is a self-explanatory TLD that is simple to remember.

.nft – NFTs are all the buzz right now. A winner for digital artists, collectors, etc.

.x – X can be anything, or everything, and is a perfect TLD to make a statement.

.blockchain – is the latest of their TLDs and works well with anything blockchain-based.

.wallet – everyone will require a wallet, and it can be personal or business-related.

.bitcoin – for all the bitcoin maxis out there for specific bitcoin-related payments.

.coin – for those who are into altcoins, or any kind of crypto coin.

.dao – decentralized autonomous organizations are the new .orgs of the future.

.888 – a symbol of luck in many parts, and for those who are willing to take risks.

.zil – the Zilliqa network.

Real-World Utility

Unstoppable Domains is an NFT domain project that is practical. Anyone can sell you a crypto / NFT domain, but what benefit will it be if there are no practical use-cases to apply? For instance, if I purchased a .wallet or a .anything from a company that sells TLDs or SLDs, yet there is no way for me to utilize that domain in the real world, it is as good as having a trophy on display for others to see, knowing well that it’s the only function that the trophy can fulfill.

Some of the many benefits are:

Payments - Domains can be used as a payment gateway for crypto payments. These are affordable and can be done from anywhere in the world almost instantaneously.

Uncensorable Websites - Other companies and governments cannot control the content you show on your website.

Alternate Root (Alt Root) - Are not governed by and don’t require approval from ICANN. Be the master and commander of your content. They are decentralized.

No Custodian - Blockchain domains are stored by the owner. No third party can move or seize them as they are not stored in the control of the registrar.

No Renewals - Pay once and it’s yours to ‘own’ ... forever.

No Gas Fees – the introduction to the Polygon network allows Unstoppable holders to bypass some of the most horrendous of charges for the simplest of transactions.

Transfers - Blockchain domains do not require an escrow agent to securely exchange the domain or funds. This transfer can happen in a matter of minutes, from or to anywhere in the world.

Flip for Profit – The aforementioned benefits only add value to these domains for those who invest with view to flipping them for quick cash or even those who play the long HODL game.

NFT’s are all the buzz right now, but every Unstoppable Domain is an NFT, and once the global populace learns of this amazing technology that grants holders the right to manage their digital identity for web3, with the addition of being able to send or receive crypto anywhere in the world… it's going to be ‘Unstoppable’ for sure!
