ICANN accreditation represents a significant step for Unstoppable Domains in bridging the gap between decentralized Web3 technology and traditional internet infrastructure. This development will enable Unstoppable Domains to offer a more comprehensive suite of domain options that cater to users, businesses, and organizations across both spaces.
Expanding Domain Options
As an ICANN-accredited registrar, Unstoppable Domains can now provide access to a broad range of gTLDs and ccTLDs. This expands Unstoppable Domains’s offerings beyond their original Web3 focus, allowing them to integrate traditional domain names alongside blockchain-based domains. These traditional options offer flexibility for users looking to manage both Web3 identities and conventional online presences under one unified system.
“ICANN accreditation is a major milestone for our Unstoppable community,” said Matt Gould, CEO and Founder of Unstoppable Domains.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding into broader accreditation and traditional web infrastructure while maintaining our core ethos of user ownership.”
Tokenized Domains and Blockchain Integration
One of Unstoppable Domains’ key differentiators is its ability to tokenize domains, turning them into assets that can be bought, sold, or traded on the blockchain. These tokenized domains offer functionalities beyond standard web addresses, such as facilitating cryptocurrency transactions, linking to decentralized websites, and integrating with social media profiles. This creates a unified digital identity that spans across multiple platforms, making it easier for users to manage their presence online.
Unstoppable Domains plans to provide an on-chain domain marketplace for both Web3 and traditional domains. This will be complemented by a specialized wallet for registrars to manage tokenized domains and support for Web3 companies seeking to launch ICANN gTLDs.
Supporting ICANN gTLD Applications
Unstoppable Domains has already been instrumental in helping over 19 Web3 companies, including Blockchain.com, prepare for the next ICANN gTLD application round in 2026. By offering strategic support and leveraging its domain expertise, Unstoppable Domains plays a vital role in assisting crypto and blockchain companies looking to secure new top-level domains under ICANN’s framework.

Bridging Traditional and Web3 Domains
With this accreditation, Unstoppable Domains is positioned to connect traditional domain systems with Web3 innovations. By offering both blockchain-based and conventional domains, Unstoppable Domains gives users, brands, and businesses greater control over how they manage their digital identities. This dual approach is particularly relevant as more companies explore integrating Web3 functionality into existing infrastructures.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Unstoppable Domains’ expanded offerings signal a step toward greater synergy between the conventional internet and the emerging decentralized web.
The Future of Domain Management Is Hybrid and Decentralized
As Unstoppable Domains continues to bridge the gap between Web3 and traditional domain management, the landscape of digital identities is set to evolve rapidly. With the convergence of blockchain technology and established internet infrastructure, the possibilities for a more flexible, secure, and user-controlled digital world are expanding.
