Meet Doctor Brand (Italy) and Serge Sebastien Staub (Rodrigues Island), two domain investors who never met in real life yet have been working in building the world’s most curated .C collection and are the brokers behind the sale of ICE.C to ICE.COM in January 2022.
They are also the owners of the premium blockchain domains SILICON.VALLEY and SILICONVALLEY.C. Silicon.valley is not for sale as Serge Sebastien Staub says this will be his ticket to the valley when he does make his move, however offers are being considered on SILICONVALLEY.C.
.C is the new .COM of the Web3 space and not .ETH as some ENS maximalists are proclaiming at Web3 events in Europe and across the US. While .ETH is fine as a Wallet address, it is NOT suitable for use as a Domain name for a website.
The registry namebase.io top selling .C owner @ClayCollins says it so well, and I quote: “.C can rival .com and .co in web3.”
So who are the top 3 players in Web3?
Well, TLD and domain registrations speak for themselves.
As of December 2022, handshake.org HNS blockchain domains is the true decentralized DNS - Domain Name Service root, with experts like Sajan Nair claiming: “Handshake is the brother and sister of Bitcoin”. Sajan Nair is the founder of the Indian Registry agaamin.in which launched: “Smart Names 101”.
Well, Handshake has no CEO, no DAO, no HQ, it is truly decentralized, like Bitcoin. No-one owns it and everyone does. It was Satoshi Nakamoto’s dream to create a free Internet for two principal reasons: 1. The flow of Money, and 2: To create a free internet, as it should be, without censorship, and without GVT interference. Handshake developers have achieved these aims.
The next aspect is the VCs who backed this concept did so because: “Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol where every peer is validating and in charge of managing the root DNS naming zone with the goal of creating an alternative to existing Certificate Authorities and naming systems. Additionally, what makes it so visionary is that they have secured / reserved all the top 1500 TLDs as well as 100,000 Top Alexa websites to prevent cybersquatting. To secure your brand or name on the new Web3.0 internet, head to namebase.io.
One thing should be clear here - Handshake is the leader by registration numbers as they now have reached a staggering 8M TLDs, ENS.Domains is 2nd with their .ETH for Ethereum Blockchain Naming Service sitting at 2.7M domains sold, the centralized UnstoppableDomains.com come in 3rd with registration volumes with 2.5M SLDs.
Handshake is unique as in it has both B2B and B2C applications. From a B2B perspective you can own a TLD and sell domain names on it, and start a business. Froma B2C perspective users can get Handshake #SmartNames as their single unique online identity. The .C case study is a classic example. As a business man @ClayCollins made $130.000 In one year. It also allowed many users and companies to claim their domain names and be Web3.0 future ready.
Web3 domains are the next “must have” digital assets for you to be able to use as logins for dApps as well as Web3 websites, social media logins, wallet ids, your name in the metaverse and much more. The fact they are programmable names means their usecases are only limited by Human imagination.
The big question is, will centralized gain mass appeal, or will decentralized be the new trend?
Well after the issues at FTX, centralized DAOs or Orgs are on the way out. As much as we want to think they are regulated and operate as per the Law, we know that fraudsters will always co-exist, where there are billions at stakes, they will operate in the shadow of transparency while doing the opposite. Data selling is a hugely sensitive problem which can make or break a company. We have seen what Facebook has become and why they were forced to buy a competitor like Instagram and WhatsApp , so as not to lose billions from their platform.
The next Web3 player to become the next Bitcoin is in my view Handshake, that is why we have invested in the best and most curated names which you can discover on Web3Domains.Auction.
