What is the Unstoppable Vault
The Unstoppable Vault is an optional custody solution that keeps your domains safe by storing them in a custodial wallet with UnstoppableDomains. Your domains are claimed on-chain and verifiably owned by you, just like with a self-custodial wallet, but they’re kept separate from your other assets in a private domain vault. This helps diversify your assets, reducing the risk of hackers stealing your domain or making unauthorized changes – even if your own wallet gets compromised. The private keys to your vault are encrypted and protected, in alignment with industry best practices. You’ll have the option to transfer your domains from the Vault to a self-custodial wallet at any time.
Any domain purchased with a Domain Protection Plan of Self-Custody during Checkout will need to be moved to your own self-custodial wallet within 7 days of purchase. After 7 days, you cannot move your domain to your own wallet without paying the fee for the UD Vault custody.
Be Aware as of May 30th, 2023: If you hold your domains in Unstoppable’s custody, you’ll need to purchase an Unstoppable Vault or transfer your domains to a self-custodial wallet.

Unstoppable custodial wallet
Go to your My Domains page and you can choose to purchase by clicking on the blue links of Buy $99/year Bulk Unstoppable Vault or Buy Unstoppable Vault for # Domains
You may also choose to individually purchase by clicking on Claim / Unstoppable Vault next to a domain. The page will redirect with a link to Buy $4/year ($10/year) Unstoppable Vault subscription.
Claimed in a self-custody wallet
If you would prefer to move your claimed domains into a vault,
- Go to your My Domains page > click Manage next to the domain
- On the domain's page, select 'Unstoppable Vault' from the left-side menu
- Click on 'Store domain' in the Unstoppable Vault
- Select the wallet for the address > when prompted, Sign/Approve the transaction with your wallet
This process will usually take a few minutes, but please be patient during times of heavy network use. You can track the Polygon network status and gas prices here: https://polygonscan.com/gastracker
Once complete, your domain will display as Unstoppable Vault. You can move the domain between parking and your own wallet at any point, as long as your Vault subscription is active:
