In their own words
“As opposed to being like 300 million websites on the internet, we're talking three to four billion individuals who are going to want to have an identifier online.”
“When I look out next year I think we're going to have 10 million plus registrations. We'll see hopefully we can blow past those numbers.”
Key points from the latest interview
- Unstoppable Domains has registered over 2.5 million NFT domains since 2017, with continued growth even during bear market conditions due to utility value.
- NFT domains serve as persistent digital identities across multiple platforms and metaverses, unlike traditional Web2 usernames controlled by centralized platforms.
- The potential market for Web3 digital identities is 10 to 100 times larger than traditional domains, targeting 3 to 4 billion individuals rather than businesses.
- Coinbase and over 420 partnerships have integrated Unstoppable Domains' NFT domains for identity and login functionality across Web3 applications.
- Domain names provide superior brand persistence compared to profile pictures, remaining consistent across new social media platforms and metaverses as they emerge.
