In a major industry advancement, WebUnited and Domain Cost Club announced the launch of the world's first on-chain mirroring service for .WS domain names. This innovation makes .WS the first country code top-level domain (ccTLD) to be mirrored on the blockchain, marking a historic moment for the domain name industry.

WebUnited Partners with Domain Cost Club to Launch .WS Domain Name Chain Mirroring Service

1. .WS: ushering in a new era of on-chain ccTLDs

Holders of .WS domain names registered through the Domain Cost Club can now mirror their domain names onto the blockchain network, opening up a whole new set of possibilities for Web3. This service not only enables .WS domains to function as both traditional Web2 addresses, but also transforms them into on-chain assets, enabling decentralized features such as wallet address resolution, NFT integration and crypto payments.

WebUnited's plug-and-play API, developed in conjunction with Freename, empowers registrars worldwide to offer Web3 versions of legacy domain names. While .WS is the first TLD to implement this feature, more extensions are expected to join the bandwagon in the future, marking the industry's transition to a decentralized and blockchain-driven future.

2. Connecting Web2 and Web3: Unlocking Digital Potential

Web3 is known for its decentralized infrastructure, and this new service enables domain name holders to take full advantage of Web3 while maintaining their existing Web2 presence. With Web3 domain mirroring, users can perform the following functions:

-Resolve blockchain wallet addresses

-Conduct secure cryptocurrency transactions

-Build decentralized websites

-Verify digital assets via NFT

This means that businesses and individuals can gain a secure, future-proof online identity that connects the two worlds.Lars Jensen, Co-CEO of WebUnited, said, “WebUnited's domain mirroring seamlessly connects Web2 to Web3, allowing users to retain their existing domain name when accessing the blockchain, offering a new perspective on the online image of the The future provides a new perspective.”

3. A new era for domain name registrars

This technology not only benefits domain name holders, but also opens up new revenue streams for registrars. By integrating Freename and WebUnited's APIs, any registrar can offer domain mirroring services that help customers easily access Web3 features while maintaining traditional domain name management. This creates a win-win situation for registrars who want to provide cutting-edge services to their customers and follow the trend of Web3 innovation.

4. Exclusive Offer: An Opportunity for Domain Name Holders

Domain Cost Club is offering exclusive pricing for mirrored .WS domain names for a limited time, making it the perfect time for domain name holders to get on board. Early adopters will be able to maximize the benefits from the seamless integration of Web2 with Web3, leveraging the new blockchain utility to enhance the value and versatility of their domain name portfolios.

5. Looking Ahead: A New Standard for Domain Names

While .WS is the first domain name to benefit from WebUnited technology, it is by no means the end of the road. We plan to expand this service to more top-level domains, enabling users around the world to mirror their domains on the blockchain network and unlock the full potential of Web3. As Davide Vicini, Co-CEO of WebUnited said, “This is just the beginning. Our partnership with Domain Cost Club and .WS marks the transition of the domain name industry to a more decentralized and innovative future. We are proud to lead this change.”

For domain holders looking to stay competitive in the new technology trend, it would be wise to act now to protect Web3-enabled .WS domains and explore the potential of blockchain-based web services.
