Embark on your Unstoppable journey with our guide:


Our domains are new extensions (similar to .com or .net) launched as smart contracts on public blockchains. 


All our Web3 domains are ERC-721 (NFTs) on the Ethereum and Polygon network. 


While traditional domains are leased by a single authority, Web3 Domains are self-stored in a wallet by the owner, much like a cryptocurrency, and no third party can take them away or take-down its content. Our domains need no renewals; you can own them for life. 

self-custody solution is possible because your domain is an asset on the blockchain and stored like a cryptocurrency in your wallet. This custody method gives your Web3 domain “super-powers” that traditional domains do not have.

Due to the self-custody nature of your Web3 domain it:

  • Can be used as a universal username across apps and websites.

  • Cannot be seized by a third party.

  • Can deploy decentralized websites.

  • Can be transferred around the world in seconds without needing permission from any third party.

  • Gives the owner sole control and access to domain management features - adding crypto addresses for simplifying payments and pointing website content to your domain.

 Pay once, and you own the domain for life, with no renewal fees.

  • Here you can find the current pricing tiers for available domains.
  • We currently have 4 payment methods: Credit card, Paypal, pay with crypto (BTC, BCH, ETH, DAI, LTC, USDC), and Crypto.com pay.

    If you are sending a crypto payment from an exchange please be sure you are sending enough to cover the cost of fees and still have enough to pay for your order. 

    Some exchanges will take the fees from the amount you wish to send, which means if you do not cover these costs your order will be Underpaid.


Note: For payments with crypto, use Main chains only.

  2. Click the Manage button on the domain you wish to transfer to your non-custodial wallet.
  3. Enter your 2FA verification code.
