An Unstoppable onchain domain is a digital identity that lives on the blockchain, instead of being managed by a third-party platform like Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), etc. This means it’s completely owned and controlled by the owner, without interference or oversight from centralized entities.

Onchain domains are redefining digital ownership and connectivity. By leveraging blockchain technology, these domains offer capabilities that go far beyond traditional DNS domains. Whether you’re looking for simplified transactions, secure data management, or innovative communication features, onchain domains from Unstoppable are unlocking new opportunities for our users. Here are the key benefits of adopting onchain domains:

Simplified Transactions

Managing cryptocurrency transactions can be complex and error-prone. Entering long, random wallet addresses is not only difficult to remember but also prone to typos that can lead to irreversible loss of funds. Onchain domains solve this problem by replacing complicated wallet addresses with simple, human-readable names like sandy.x or matt.crypto, making payments safer and easier.

This innovation mirrors the early days of the internet when websites were only accessible via IP addresses, a cumbersome and error-prone system, until domain names like .com and .net revolutionized web navigation. Similarly, onchain domains simplify crypto transactions, reducing errors and enhancing usability.

With support for transactions across multiple blockchain networks and over 200 coins and tokens, onchain domains streamline the crypto experience, breaking down barriers to adoption and making blockchain technology more accessible to everyone.

Secure Single Sign-On

Tired of juggling countless usernames and passwords? Onchain domains double as a secure, interoperable digital identity that allows you to log in to hundreds of onchain applications spanning DeFi, SocialFi, gaming, metaverses, and more. This single sign-on feature eliminates the need for multiple credentials while giving you full control over the personal data you choose to share.

And, it’s not just about making signing in easier! In contrast to traditional Web2 systems, where tech giants profit from your data, our domains empower you to own and manage your identity across the internet. It’s a step toward a more user-centric and privacy-focused internet, powered by onchain technology. For example, you can use yourname.onchain digital identity to log into the Metropolis game to display your username and bring your identity with you!

Unstoppable Messaging and Group Chat

Onchain domains aren’t just about transactions, they’re also revolutionizing how we communicate. With features like encrypted messaging and exclusive Group Chats, these domains create secure, private spaces for users to connect.

You no longer have to know someone’s phone number or email address to stay in touch! Simply use your digital identity to communicate with 4.5M+ domains, anyone who holds a Lens ID, Coinbase ID, and more!

  • Unstoppable Messaging: Send secure messages directly to other domain owners. It works just like texting an individual, but instead of using a phone number, you're using their domain. It’s that simple!
  • Group Chat: Group Chat makes it easy to bring everyone together in one shared space. Whether you’re catching up with friends, engaging with a community, or collaborating within an organization, these dedicated chat spaces are designed to foster meaningful connections and seamless communication.

Profiles

Create a UD.me profile to build your onchain identity and reputation. Highlight your achievements, professional credentials, digital collectibles, and more – all in one place. With UD.me, you can also collect and showcase Badges based on your wallet activity and the communities you're part of, like owning a .pudgy domain or a MetaRides vehicle NFT.

Unlike traditional platforms like LinkedIn, where studies suggest that as many as 30% of profiles contain false or exaggerated claims about education and credentials, everything on your Unstoppable Profile is verified onchain. That means your achievements and activities are authenticated, providing a level of trust and transparency that traditional platforms simply can't match.

Login with Unstoppable

Your domain serves as your all-in-one login and identity, allowing you to seamlessly sign into hundreds of apps across the onchain ecosystem. With Unstoppable Login, say goodbye to juggling multiple usernames and passwords! Your domain provides secure, passwordless access to DeFi platforms, games, social apps, and more.

Unlike traditional identities that are scattered across numerous platforms, your UD.me profile consolidates everything in one place, giving you a seamless and unified digital presence. Plus, because you own the domain, you’re in complete control of your data. Decide what to share, who to share it with, and retain ownership of your digital identity – no middlemen involved. It’s not just a login; it’s your gateway to the future of self-sovereign identity.

Continued Growth and Innovation

It doesn’t end there! Explore all the other amazing benefits of owning an onchain domain, such as hosting tamper-proof websites, using your domain as an onchain gamertag for online games, and more. With ongoing innovation, these domains are constantly evolving, ensuring their functionality is constantly expanding and that they remain future-proof for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve.

As the internet evolves, onchain domains provide the tools needed to navigate the onchain world. They empower users to take control of their online presence, revolutionizing digital identity and communication, while offering unparalleled simplicity, security, and control. From seamless transactions to verified profiles and encrypted messaging, these domains unlock endless possibilities for individuals and professionals alike.
