In a major step forward for digital identity and internet decentralization, Brave has become the first browser to launch its own on-chain top-level domain. In partnership with Unstoppable Domains, the new .brave domain is now available to Brave’s over 85 million monthly active users—offering a seamless way to own digital identity, send crypto, and navigate Web3. Minted on the Polygon blockchain, .brave domains will resolve across multiple networks—including Base, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Sonic, and more—making them widely compatible in the Web3 ecosystem.
While Lemmy seems to disagree, I think this is rather good. Any day of the week I’d rather pay to get a domain on a decentralized database, as opposed to paying an ICANN approved register approximately the same for an entry in their centralized database.
It’s neat that I’ll be able to block an entire TLD with no negative repurcussions
