Minting Subdomains Made Easy
Terminology →
What are Web3 Domains ?
"Web3" refers to the newest generation of internet infrastructure that utilizes decentralized mechanisms and blockchain-based technology to store and manage information. "Web3 domains" are naming protocols that are stored and managed on this decentralized web. These blockchain-based systems of DNS record keeping allow you to have full sovereign ownership over your domains, with no centralized authority able to take them away from you.
What are Unstoppable Domains?
Unstoppable Domains are a type of Web3 domain, and they can function as your digital identity. These domains are stored on the Polygon blockchain as "non-fungible tokens" or "NFT's", and they allow users to build and verify digital identities, log in seamlessly to applications without passwords, simplify cryptocurrency payments, and create fully-owned censorship-resistant websites. Once claimed, Unstoppable Domains are yours forever with no renewal fees.
What are Unstoppable Subdomains ?
Subdomain minting is a feature that allows users to create offshoots of their existing domain names. (e.g. Unstoppable.nft → Matt.Unstoppable.nft) These subdomains are minted as independent NFT's, and they can function in all the same ways as ordinary Unstoppable Domains. Likewise, they are permanently owned and they require no renewal fees.
What are the benefits of minting Unstoppable Subdomains?
Unstoppable Domain owners can issue subdomains to themselves or to 3rd parties. These can be used for various purposes such as creating brand-specific ID's, providing access control and ticketing, organizing decentralized website URL's, or they could simply be used to give users greater flexibility in representing themselves and their identity on Web3.
