Unstoppable Domains’ founder and CEO, Matthew Gould, commented on the investment as follows:
“As the digital economy takes over more and more of our lives, it’s time for individuals to take control of their online selves. We are excited to work with Pantera and other investors that support our goal of bringing billions of people onto the Web3 through NFT domains that enable user-owned, private, and portable identities.”
Unstoppable Domains is returning ownership of people’s digital identities to them after a long period of corporate dominance.
Owners of Unstoppable Domain, which was created on the Ethereum blockchain, can utilize their domains to reach the decentralized web using the Brave and Opera browsers as well as browser extensions on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Decentralized domains, in contrast to conventional web domains, are only managed by the domain’s owner and are not subject to price rises or renewal costs.
Decentralized domains are immune to attack since no single entity has control over each user’s domain.
The decentralized domains reduce copying and pasting errors that might result in money loss by replacing complicated crypto wallet addresses with straightforward usernames for payments.
Decentralized websites and NFT galleries can both be hosted on NFT domains.
As people substitute their old usernames with NFT domain names and verified profile images on social media platforms, unstoppable domains are also growing in popularity there.
