Brave Launches Blockchain-Based .brave Top-Level Domain

Brave browser, in partnership with Unstoppable Domains, has launched the first on-chain top-level domain, .brave. This aims to simplify the Web3 user experience, enhancing digital identity management and decentralized internet accessibility. Minted on the Polygon blockchain, .brave domains are compatible with multiple networks including Base, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more. Brave users can utilize .brave domains for simplified crypto payments, host censorship-resistant websites on IPFS, and build verifiable on-chain identities. Brave and Unstoppable Domains are also exploring ICANN gTLD registration to expand .brave's reach, bridging Web2 and Web3.
