While the internet continues to evolve, the tools we use to navigate with it do. Now domains are no longer only static website addresses; They become dynamic, multifunctional digital identities. By placing domains onchain, we unlock new possibilities that bridge the traditional DNS -Domein functionality (Web2) with new Onchain domain benefits (Web3). But what exactly is the difference between a DNS domain, an onchain domain and a web3 domain? Let’s break it down.
DNS domains are the traditional domains that you probably know, such as .com, .net and .org. They have served the basis of the internet for decades. However, their functionality is limited compared to the innovations in Onchain domains.
Main features of DNS -domains:
- Limited functionality: Mainly used for hosting websites.
- Rented, not owned: Users pay continuous extension costs, because DNS domains are essentially rented out, not permanent ownership.
- Not compatible with Onchain systems: These domains only work within the traditional Web2 framework.
Although DNS domains are reliable and used a lot, their options are limited to web2 applications. In the event of unstoppable, however, DNS domains are placed as standard Onchain, making the Onchain functionality possible in addition to their existing DNS/Web2 functionality. This improves their usefulness by bridging seamless web2 and web3 systems.
Onchain domains represent a large leap forward in domain technology, which offer improved functionality and user control by using blockchain technology. With non -stop worthy, our Onchain domains can be native web3 domains (such as .x, .crypto) or native DNS domains (such as .com, .org). Here are how they differ:
Web3 -domains: the future of ownership
Web3 domains exist native on the blockchain, making them unchain of conception. Designed to meet the needs of the Onchain -Internet, these domains are ideal for users who want full ownership, control and usefulness outside the traditional web2 space.
Main features of Web3 -domains:
- Only Onchain: Works fully with the help of Onchain technology.
- No extension costs: Once bought, you own your web3 domain for life.
- Multifunctional:
- Use as an all-in-one payment address for crypto transactions.
- Serve a single username to log in, chat and more.
- Make permanent, Onchain websites without required hosting costs.
Web3 domains define ownership and expand the possibilities with innovative new Onchain functions, the possibility to facilitate crypto payments and to redefine your personal or professional branding with self-sovereign digital identity.
Onchain DNS -Domains: The best of both worlds
We also place DNS domains onchain through tokenization, where we combine the traditional functionality of DNS domains with the extra benefits of web3 domains. These hybrid domains can exist in their existing (offchain) form, but also have digital twins that exists on extensive usefulness and functionality.
Main features of Onchain DNS -domains:
- Double functionality: Save all traditional DNS functions while you get Web3 options.
- Onchain -Integration: Makes seamless crypto payments, digital identity and access to the onchain ecosystem of applications.
- Streamlined trade: Advanced portfolio tools make bulk management, adapted landers, sellers and immediate transactions stores possible via the not to be stopped marketplace – all with a low committee fee of 3% and no transfer of transfer or extra costs.
- Innovation costs apply: In contrast to web3 domains, Onchin DNS domains still require innovation payments to maintain ownership of the underlying domain.
In the event of not to stop, all DNS domains are placed standard Onchain, so that they can retain their web2 options and at the same time unlock the benefits of blockchain technology. This double functionality makes them a powerful tool for users who need versatility in both traditional and onchain spaces.
Onchain domains represent the following evolution in digital identity. We are looking forward to the upcoming ICANN GTLD application round in 2026, where we want to improve our web3 domains with DNS options. Our mission is not only about bringing onchain functionality to DNS domains, we also want to integrate DNS functionality into our web3 domains. If you are looking for a domain that goes beyond a normal domain, you can’t make a wrong choice!
