1. Key features and what blockchain domains are for
Replay from the first part https://hub.forklog.com/obzor-domenov-web3-na-raznyh-blokchejnah/
Blockchain domains are designed to be easy to interact with when sending/receiving many cryptocurrencies, while the address is a human-readable domain name (e.g. vitalik.eth) and not a long alphanumeric address — e.g. 0х1111222233344445556667777888aaabbb which is impossible to remember. The address given above is an address for only one cryptocurrency, so if you want to send 200 cryptocurrencies, you will need to save 200 different addresses.
With blockchain domains, everything is simpler — all addresses are registered in the domain itself (as well as links to social networks, sites, see the photo below) and the sender from different blockchains sends cryptocurrency to one domain, which is fast, convenient, error-free and prevents phishing.
We can give an example of a similar situation with an IP address on the Internet we are familiar with. A traditional domain name is a specific Internet Protocol (“IP”) address for a website that is accessible over the traditional Internet. When someone enters the traditional domain name “www.vitalik.com" into the URL field, the browser queries the Domain Name Service (“DNS”) server, which associates the domain name with the correct IP address and displays the website associated with this domain.
A blockchain domain such as “vitalik.eth” does not use a DNS server to associate with an Internet IP address. Instead, it links to an address on the blockchain via an NFT provided by the domain name service on the blockchain. The blockchain address associated with the blockchain domain name is a special container in which cryptocurrencies and NFTs can be stored.
Some market leader numbers (significantly changed in two months after the publication of Part One) — more than 2.6 million registrations in Unstoppabledomains and 2.62 million registrations in ENS.Domains
The main set of functionalities of blockchain domains
- Decentralized site, subdomains (with the possibility of transferring rights to third parties)
- Compatible with NFTs
- Identification in the Metaverses
Some of the features may be under development.

Free mint of your Twitter login if you have more than 50 followers
Early Adopter Rewards
In many of these projects, rewards are possible for early adopters if the project releases its own token, as was the case with ENS domains (ENS token), but this is not certain.
3. Development of projects
Recently, there has been an explosive growth of services for registering blockchain domains (there are already four services on the test network on Aptos), the rapid growth of market leaders Unstoppabledomains and ENS Domains, despite the bear market.
More integrations in progress
There are also intersections in the same extensions in different services, I forecast confusion or litigation.
I see the future behind cross-chain solutions and services with a dedicated community, developers and a lot of integrations.
Who wants to get to know the project in more depth and spend money and / or time, go to Github and analyze.
Some examples:
You can find projects of interest by yourself by searching, for example:
https://github.com/search?q=unstoppable+domains&type=repositories
https://github.com/search?q=concordium+domains&type=commits
https://github.com/search?q=aptos+name+service&type=commits
In addition to using the functionality of the blockchain domains mentioned above (receive various cryptocurrencies to domain name, decentralized site with subdomains, NFT compatibility, identification in the Metaverses, ownership of their brand in web3), companies that think with a horizon of 5 years into the future are developing a comprehensive program — issuing a token , NFTs, their own Metaverses or create their own infrastructure in other people’s Metaverses. This is now in trend, gives good PR, leads to additional monetization, increases the reputation of the company as a technological one and, most importantly, creates a new community for the company.
