Freename, a prominent player in the Web3 domain registration industry, has made an official announcement regarding its participation in the upcoming ICANN gTLD (generic Top Level Domains) registration round. The company has revealed its plans to apply for a range of gTLDs, including .chain, .token, and .metaverse. Additionally, Freename will be submitting applications on behalf of third-party customers during this round. While the specific names of these partners have not been disclosed at this time, Freename assures that these strategic collaborations have been carefully chosen to maximize the impact and relevance of each top-level domain. Moreover, these Web3 domain registrations will also have their counterparts in the Web2/DNS space to further expand their reach and capabilities.
Freename’s ability to achieve this significant milestone is attributed to its strong position within the domain industry, where the company has established solid relationships with institutional players in the traditional domain market. Notably, Freename has formed a partnership with the ICANN-licensed Registry ShortDot to launch a joint venture called WebUnited. This collaboration aims to enhance Web2 domains with blockchain utilities. These partnerships further enhance Freename’s capacity to participate in ICANN’s gTLD programs, reinforcing its leadership position in the market.
Furthermore, Freename stands out as the first Web3 Registrar with ICANN accreditation. The company sells and tokenizes both traditional DNS domain names and Web3 domains. By combining its extensive expertise in Web3 with the innovative technology of domain tokenization, Freename continues to dominate the Web3 domain market. This is evident from the 2024 statistics, which position Freename as the top Registrar in the sector.
Looking ahead to the next ICANN gTLD registration round, Freename extends an invitation to companies seeking to secure their own personalized TLD to join them on this journey of growth and innovation. Interested businesses can apply through the dedicated form provided.
About Freename: Freename is the leading multichain Web3 Namespace, offering users the opportunity to register and mint their own Web3 domains on their preferred chain.
