At Unstoppable, we are on a mission to provide every person on the planet with a user-owned digital identity. To make that vision a reality, we’re empowering people to own their identity information through Web3 domains. We believe that Web3 domains will be the center of our online identity, which is why we do everything we can to make them as useful as possible.
Since our inception, we’ve seen our community build their identities and make Web3 domains a central part of their digital lives. Here are some of the ways the Unstoppable community is transforming their digital identity using Web3 domains.
This was our first use case for Unstoppable domains and is still the best. When a user enters a domain, it links back to their wallet address, allowing them to seamlessly send and receive crypto through a wallet app. We receive every week over 30 million resolution API calls β reflects each of the times data is retrieved on the domain, including resolving a domain to its associated crypto-wallet address. When you factor in all the other ways people can use their domains, from logins to direct blockchain calls and more, we receive more than 50 API calls per second, 24 hours a day.
In addition to using Unstoppable digital identities in their favorite apps, games, and metaverses, our core community of users are actively using their digital identities. Of more than 7,500 domain holders update their domain records every weekfrom adding wallet addresses to updating their Unstoppable profiles, this is a group of people who are in Web3 for the long haul!
As a pioneer of digital identity on Web3, our community has registered over 3.4 million Unstoppable domains β each of which is minted on the blockchain. We’ve issued domains to individuals, communities, Fortune 500 companies, and everything in between. With 1.2 million domains registered in 2022 alone, people around the world are seeing the value of owning their own digital identity.
Over 800 apps, games and metaverses have integrated with Unstoppable – creating a range of ways people can make their lives simpler and more intuitive with their Unstoppable domains. From logging in to messaging, token-gated rewards or hosting decentralized websites, there are several ways people benefit from owning their digital identity.
