Freename Launches .etherlink Domain for Next-Gen Web3 Identity

Freename,
the
leading
multi-chain
Web3
namespace
platform,
has
integrated
with Etherlink,
a
Layer
2
blockchain
powered
by Tezos Smart
Rollups,
to
launch
the
new
top-level
domain “.etherlink“.
The
launch
marks
an
important
step
in
expanding
blockchain
domain
adoption,
enabling
users
to
easily
create
Web3
identities
and
manage
digital
assets.
 To
celebrate
the
launch,
every
user
can
use
the
coupon
code ETHERLINK10 to
purchase
.etherlink
domains
or
apply
it
as
a
discount
for
premium
domains
during
the
first
three
months
of
the
promotion.

The
.etherlink
domain
will
serve
as
a
cornerstone
for
digital
identity
management
on
Etherlink’s
Layer
2
blockchain,
empowering
both
Web2
and
Web3
users
to
secure
their
digital
presence
through
blockchain
technology
while
maintaining
traditional
domain
functionality. 

Etherlink
is
a
permissionless
Layer
2
blockchain
that
inherits
the
security
of
the
Tezos
Layer
1,
and
features
a
decentralized
governance
model,
fraud
proofs,
and
censorship
resistance.
With
today’s
launch,
Freename,
as
a
multichain
Web3
namespace
and ICANN-accredited
registrar,
is
also
leveraging
Etherlink
to
bridge
Web2
and
Web3,
enabling
Web2
domains
to
be
tokenized
and
secured
on
the
Etherlink
network
alongside
other
major
blockchains.
This
ensures brand
protection
and
domain
security for
Web2
businesses
while
seamlessly
integrating
them
into
a
multi-chain
ecosystem.
Users
can
simply
mint
domains
directly
on
the
Etherlink
network
and
manage
them
alongside
traditional
Web2
domains,
supporting
over
50
blockchain
networks.

“On-chain
users
need
tailored
solutions
for
digital
identity.
In
a
multi-chain
world,
interoperability
is
essential.
With
the
Etherlink
integration
and
.etherlink
TLD
launch,
we’re
enabling
the
Etherlink
and
Tezos
communities
to
secure
dynamic
identities
that
evolve
with
their
Web3
journey.”
Said
Gherardo
Varani,
Head
of
BD
at
Freename.
“The
.etherlink
TLD
and
our
ability
to
tokenize
Web2
domains
on-chain
will
redefine
brand
protection
and
domain
ownership,
offering
users
the
best
of
both
worlds.”

The
platform
leverages
Etherlink’s
breakthrough
transaction
costs
of
$0.001,
offering
users
an
affordable
and
scalable
way
to
interact
with
the
blockchain
and
DNS.
Through
integration
with
Tezos
Smart
Rollups,
users
benefit
from
enhanced
security
and
cross-chain
compatibility
with
other
major
EVM
networks.
Etherlink’s
architecture
ensures
unparalleled
security
and
decentralization
by
eliminating
centralized
bridges
and
administrative
keys,
making
it
a
highly
reliable
and
censorship-resistant
platform
for
blockchain-based
operations.

Impact
on
the
Etherlink
Ecosystem

“Domains
are
the
foundation
of
digital
identity,
and
with
Freename’s
integration,
we’re
transforming
how
the
Etherlink
community
connects
and
transacts,”
said
Cédric
Roche,
Business
Development
&
Technical
Support
Director
at
Nomadic
Labs,
a
Tezos
R&D
Hub
in
Paris. “This
is
about
more
than
just
replacing
wallet
addresses
–
it’s
about
building
a
more
intuitive
and
accessible
Web3
where
traditional
businesses
and
crypto-native
users
can
seamlessly
interact.”

This
integration
marks
a
significant
milestone
for
the
growing
Etherlink
ecosystem
and
comes
at
a
busy
period
for
the
Tezos
ecosystem,
following
the
recent
launch
of
the
uranium.io
marketplace
on
Etherlink
and
the
unveiling
of
the
Tezos
X
roadmap
in
mid-2024.
The
.etherlink
domain
provides
native
Web3
identities
for
decentralized
applications,
smart
contracts,
and
community
members
within
the
Etherlink
network.
Community
members
can
now
create
memorable
addresses
for
their
wallets,
replacing
complex
hexadecimal
strings
with
human-readable
names.

The
domains
also
enable
Etherlink
projects
to
establish
branded
Web3
presences,
fostering
trust
and
recognition
within
the
ecosystem.
With
Freename’s
DNS
technology,
Etherlink
users
can
seamlessly
bridge
their
Web2
and
Web3
identities,
opening
new
possibilities
for
decentralized
applications
and
services.
Freename’s
partnership
with
Etherlink
exemplifies
its
commitment
to
supporting
the
integration
of
Web2
and
Web3
technologies,
empowering
users
with
a
secure,
scalable,
and
decentralized
domain
ecosystem.
