# Introducing - W3UP Protocol **Published by:** [W3UP](https://paragraph.com/@w3up/) **Published on:** 2023-03-31 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@w3up/introducing-w3up-protocol ## Content The W3UP Protocol is a naming system based on EVM blockchain, which is open, scalable and distributed.One of the main advantages of having a web3 domain name is that it is much easier to remember than a crypto address, which can be long and complex. With W3UP domains, users can create domain names that can be used in place of their crypto address. In addition, W3UP domains can be used as usernames in web3 dApps, games, and upcoming social networks. W3UP Domains also offers the opportunity for DAOs and NFT communities to create their own name service, which can be used to show participation in a particular protocol. This is made possible by the ability to create top-level domains (TLDs) on any EVM blockchain, and the architecture is flexible, allowing for various domain business models. It is worth noting that W3UP Domains is not just about domain names, but about identity in the web3 world. This is because a domain name gives users a digital identity, and the data attached to this identity strengthens it. Furthermore, the contracts used by W3UP Domains are non-upgradable and do not require any external software to function properly, ensuring total decentralization.
