Namaste Web3 Domains

A domain is the unique address you use to access a website, like example.com. A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of that address, such as .com, .org, or .goat, which categorizes the domain. In example.com, .com is the TLD, and example is the specific domain name registered under it.

The modern Internet (Web2) operates under a centralized framework where major platforms regulate data, enforce restrictions, and retain the authority to revoke access. Traditional domain names (e.g., yourname.com) are managed through registrars such as GoDaddy or Google Domains, which can suspend or seize them based on external policies. By contrast, blockchain-based domains (e.g., yourname.namaste) are fully owned by the user, eliminating third-party control and ensuring permanence. This transition represents a broader shift toward decentralization, transparency, and direct ownership of digital assets.

Web3 domains are a key component of this evolution, offering a decentralized alternative to conventional domain systems. Stored on the blockchain rather than managed by centralized registries, these domains provide users with full control, security, and censorship resistance. Their immutable nature ensures that ownership cannot be revoked or altered by external entities, reinforcing the principles of digital sovereignty.

Owning a Web3 domain secures your online identity in the emerging metaverse without reliance on centralized authorities. Your Web3 domain can be used to create a website, seamlessly integrate with dApps, and replace complex wallet addresses with human-readable names, simplifying blockchain transactions and interactions.

Web3 domains operate on blockchain technology using smart contracts to manage ownership and resolve naming conflicts. They provide immutable records, facilitate decentralized website hosting, and enable secure, direct transactions across blockchain applications.

Namaste.Domains, owned and operated by Xist.Digital (digital asset management company established in 2010), partners with Freename to leverage their proprietary blockchain technology for the registration and management of secure, decentralized, and permanently owned domain names. This collaboration equips individuals, businesses, and organizations with a resilient and future-ready digital identity within the Web3 ecosystem. 

Freename is a leading multichain Web3 namespace provider and is widely recognized as the GoDaddy of Web3. Freename owns, operates, and maintains the infrastructure that supports the creation, registration, and utility of Web3 domains, offering blockchain-based domain names that do not require renewal fees.

Freename is also an ICANN-approved registrar, ensuring compliance with ICANN’s global domain registration standards for domains governed under its authority, while simultaneously pioneering advancements in decentralized domain technology.

Through the Freename.io platform, users have the ability to register, purchase, and mint Web3 domains across multiple blockchain networks, including but not limited to Polygon, Aurora, Cronos, and Binance Smart Chain. These domains can be utilized for decentralized website hosting, crypto wallet addresses, and Web3 identity management, providing users with a secure, autonomous, and blockchain-integrated digital presence.
