Introduction

Learn about Decentraweb's Decentralized Domain Name System including Top-Level Web3 Domains, Web3 Domains & Web3 Subdomains

Decentraweb facilitates the use of the blockchain to champion a decentralized future of the internet.

Decentraweb powers three levels of Decentralized Domains on the Ethereum & Polygon Blockchains

Owners of any level Decentraweb Domain can use their Decentralized Domain as their Wallet Address for over 150 cryptocurrencies, as their decentralized website address, as their decentralized chat handle and more.

Owners of Web3 TLDs can utilize our core protocol utility by :

  • Selling Web3 Domain Registrations through Domain Staking Stake your Web3 TLDs, setting registration fees and optional renewal fees, to allow other users to register Web3 Domains using your Web3 TLDs. Registration and Renewal fees are sent directly to your wallet, as the owner of the Web3 TLD used for Web3 Domain registrations/renewals minus protocol fees

  • Registering Unlimited Web3 Domains using your Web3 TLD Register unlimited Web3 Domains from your Web3 TLD within our DNS platform. Through registration you will mint your Web3 Domains as ERC721 NFTs which can be traded on any NFT marketplace or used as Web3 Domains.

  • Reserving Unlimited Web3 Domains using your Web3 TLD Opt to reserve unlimited Web3 Domains from your Web3 TLDs to disallow others from registering your reserved Web3 Domains. For example, if you owned .234 as a Web3 TLD, you may wish to disallow 1.234 from being registered.

  • Selling Exclusive Web3 Domain Registrations through Private Web3 TLD Staking Opt to Privately Stake your Web3 TLDs and allow exclusive access to register Web3 Domains using your Web3 TLD to selected wallet addresses or based on ownership of a token from nominated ERC20 or ERC721/A contracts

  • Using your Web3 TLD as your Web3 Identity Owners of Web3 TLDs can resolve their wallet address and set DNS records to their Web3 TLD in the same way they can with any lower hierarchal domains. Use as your Decentralized Domain for your Wallet Address for over 150 cryptocurrencies, as your decentralized website address, as your decentralized chat handle and more. For example, if you owned .steve, you can resolve .steve as your Web3 Domain for your wallet address, or use .steve as your decentralized chat handle.


Web3 Domains

Decentraweb is proudly powering over 475,000 Web3 Domains registered against community owned Web3 TLDs

All users can register their own Web3 Domains from any Web3 TLD which has been staked by its owner. When registering a Web3 Domain, the registration fee and terms (renewable or no-expiry) have been set by the Web3 TLD owner and at time of registration have locked terms.

Locked terms means if you register a Web3 Domain from a Web3 TLD that has no-expiry (is expiry-less) at time of registration, and the Web3 TLD owner changes for new registrations to occur a renewal fee, because you registered when registrations provided Web3 Domains with no-expiry, your Web3 Domain will continue to have no expiration date. This is also the case if you register a Web3 Domain with for example a $10 yearly renewal fee and the Web3 TLD owner changes this to be a $50 renewal fee. As you registered at a time when the renewal fee was $10, your yearly renewal fees will continue to be $10.
