Freename has launched the “.etherlink” domain, ushering in a new era of Web3 identity management. This top-level domain (TLD) uses Etherlink’s Layer 2 blockchain to give users a seamless way to manage their digital identity while bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 domains.

Freename’s integration with Etherlink, powered by Tezos Smart Rollups, allows users to create and manage Web3 domains on an ultra-low-cost network, where transaction fees are as low as $0.001. The best part? Users can register their .etherlink domains for a one-time fee and have no renewal fees, simplifying domain ownership for both Web2 and Web3 users.
To celebrate this launch, Freename is offering users a free .etherlink domain during the first three months of the promotion. This limited-time offer can be redeemed through the etherlink reseller page and provides users with easy access to the world of decentralized domains.
Bridging Web2 and Web3
Etherlink’s permissionless Layer 2 network, built on Tezos, improves security while supporting decentralized governance and censorship resistance. Freename uses this to bridge Web2 domains into the Web3 space. Now, businesses can tokenize and secure their traditional domains on the Etherlink network, joining a multi-chain ecosystem supported by more than 50 blockchain networks.
“The .etherlink TLD is designed for dynamic Web3 identities. It is the perfect solution for those looking for seamless interoperability between Web2 and Web3 environments. Our ability to tokenize Web2 domains ensures brand protection and domain security, redefining ownership of digital identities.”
Gherardo Varani, head of BD at Freename
Thanks to Etherlink’s scalability, Freename now provides a reliable and censorship-resistant platform for blockchain-based operations. By using Tezos Smart Rollups, the system provides improved security and cross-chain compatibility. This integration marks a pivotal moment for the Etherlink ecosystem as it aims to make blockchain addresses more intuitive by replacing complex wallet strings with easy-to-read names.
The way forward for Etherlink
Cédric Roche, Business Development Director at Nomadic Labs, emphasizes the importance of this launch: “Freename is transforming the way Etherlink users communicate. We are moving beyond replacing wallet addresses to creating an accessible Web3 that promotes trust and seamless interactions between crypto-native users and traditional businesses.”
Freename’s partnership with Etherlink not only allows users to manage their Web3 identities, but also supports its growing ecosystem of decentralized applications and services. This milestone sets the stage for even greater adoption of blockchain technology in everyday digital interactions.
