Unstoppable Domains, Inc.

https://unstoppabledomains.com/

Unstoppable Domains, Inc. is a technology company primarily focused on providing digital identity solutions through domain names. The company's core mission is to decentralize the web and empower individuals with ownership and control over their digital identities, simplifying online interactions and cryptocurrency transactions. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Unstoppable Domains was founded in 2018.

Initially, Unstoppable Domains gained prominence by offering blockchain-based domain names, such as .crypto, .zil, .wallet, and .nft, which replace complex cryptocurrency addresses with human-readable names and enable the creation of decentralized websites. These domains are issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon, providing users with perpetual ownership without renewal fees. The company also provides tools for digital identity management, including NFT avatars and social verification.

In recent developments, Unstoppable Domains has significantly expanded its offerings to include traditional DNS domains, becoming an ICANN-accredited registrar in August 2024. This strategic shift has seen DNS domains grow to comprise over 90% of its business, moving away from a sole focus on Web3 blockchain names, which its CEO noted did not achieve mainstream usage as anticipated. The company achieved unicorn status in July 2022 with a $1 billion valuation after a $65 million Series A funding round. Matthew Gould serves as the Co-Founder and CEO, with Sandy Carter as the Chief Operating Officer.
