.Crypto: The Most Popular Unstoppable Onchain Domain

Before the rise of branded onchain top-level domains (TLDs) like .pudgy, .wif, and .polygon, there was .crypto—the first Unstoppable onchain domain on Ethereum, launched in 2019. Now on the Polygon network, .crypto changed how we think about domain ownership, proving that blockchain could do more than power transactions. It was the first step in building a decentralized naming system, paving the way for the entire onchain domain industry.

With its launch on a smart-contract blockchain, .crypto helped bring onchain domains into the mainstream. Unlike traditional domains, which require ongoing fees and centralized registrars, .crypto offered permanent ownership—once claimed, it was stored in a wallet like any other digital asset and fully controlled by its owner.

Following .crypto’s success, Unstoppable Domains expanded the ecosystem with .nft, .x, and other pioneering TLDs, opening new possibilities for Web3 identity, digital payments, and decentralized websites. These original TLDs laid the foundation for today’s diverse landscape of branded and community-driven domains.

More than just a domain, .crypto became a core tool for Web3 users. It simplified crypto payments, allowing transactions across 200+ tokens with a human-readable name. It enabled decentralized websites, encrypted messaging, and seamless logins for DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and blockchain-powered applications. Most importantly, it provided true ownership—once claimed, a .crypto domain is yours forever.

Five years later, .crypto remains one of the most widely used and recognized onchain domains. It was the proof of concept that set the standard for the entire space. Every new onchain TLD, whether brand-driven or community-owned, builds upon the foundation that .crypto established.

Now, Unstoppable is taking its established and innovative technology even further by moving DNS domains onchain, bringing blockchain-based utility to the traditional domain namespace. The future of domain ownership is evolving—and just like before, .crypto was the spark that ignited the revolution. 🚀
