Web2 Domains In the 1980s, the first domain name was registered, AND **fun fact** the first ‘cryptocurrency’ was created! No! it wasn’t Bitcoin, it was something called eCash. But that’s besides the point. On March 15, 1985, Symbolics.com was registered as the first-ever domain name! Now, people could access Symbolic’s website by just typing in “Symbolics.com” on their web browser.
