- Unstoppable Domain is a platform for creating domain names and decentralized websites.
- It offers the users a single digital identity that can be used across the whole Web3.
Would you prefer to remember 157.240.22.35 every time you want to log into Facebook or simply fb.com? DNS solves this issue as they give human-readable names to the complex IP addresses of websites, which otherwise would be hard to visit.
For instance, 0x92A527cbEc7F948f6802814Af2D0B4f900c1080F is a random wallet address, and each time you need to copy and paste such a lengthy address with numbers and alphabets for transactions. Can these strings be replaced by simple, human-readable addresses? Let’s find out.
What Are Unstoppable Domains?
Unstoppable Domains provide users with an alternative to the tiring and confusing wallet addresses with easy, human-readable names. They can have interesting crypto-based extensions like .bitcoin, .dao, .polygon, .nft, .crypto, etc, which makes it easier for you as a receiver and sender to send tokens safely to the correct wallet address.
Unstoppable Domains provide blockchain-based domains to users which are decentralized and registered on a blockchain. For this reason, unstoppable domains are censor-free and can not be controlled by the government or any other central authority, as is seen in many countries.
Linda.com v/s Linda.crypto
Linda.com is a domain name made using the existing DNS technology for a Web2 platform, where you do not own but just rent the domain name and pay regular fees for using it.
However, Linda.crypto domain name is built on Crypto Name Service (CNS) technology which is a set of Ethereum smart contracts. This domain name is an NFT registered on the blockchain, making it unique. When you buy Linda.crypto, you buy an NFT with complete rights over it, for a lifetime. There are no monthly fees to be paid; it is permanently yours. This domain name can be transferred to someone else instantly, by selling this NFT to the other person, in contrast to waiting for months in the DNS system.

We need multiple accounts today for the many social media apps we are active like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and so on. Each requires us to fill in the same details, again and again. Your Twitter followers are not on your Instagram account and you have separate identities on both of these apps. These apps are on your account and have the right to suspend your account or remove your posts under the banner of censorship.
The unstoppable profile will have the single username you need to access all the Web3 apps and services with your achievements, followers, and communities linked. You are the only owner of your account and have the sole right to choose the information you want to make public or private.
