Question 1

What is a blockchain domain? How is it different from traditional domains?

Accepted Answer

Blockchain domains (also called Web3 domains, crypto domains, or NFT domains) are digital assets stored on the blockchain that you truly own. Unlike traditional domains from GoDaddy or Namecheap that require annual renewal fees, blockchain domains are a one-time purchase with perpetual ownership. You pay once, own forever—no surprise price hikes, no risk of losing your domain if you forget to renew. They're also transferable, tradable, and censorship-resistant.

Question 2

Do I really never have to pay renewal fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes — zero renewal fees, ever. When you mint a domain from GotTLDs, you pay once (starting at $49 for most TLDs) and own it for life. There are no hidden fees, no annual charges, no surprise price increases. Your domain is an NFT on the blockchain, which means it's permanently yours until you decide to sell or transfer it. This is fundamentally different from traditional DNS domains that charge you $10-50+ every year.

Question 3

What can I use my blockchain domain for?

Accepted Answer

Your blockchain domain is versatile—use it just like a traditional domain or unlock Web3-specific features: host a website, use as your universal Web3 identity and username across dApps and metaverses, replace long crypto wallet addresses with yourname.pulse, showcase NFT collections, or hold premium names as investment assets.

Question 4

Which blockchain are these domains on?

Accepted Answer

GotTLDs domains are built on Freename's multi-chain enterprise blockchain infrastructure, supporting Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Cronos — providing fast, low-cost transactions across networks. This means your domain is secured by battle-tested blockchain technology with low gas fees, instant minting, and full EVM compatibility. You can manage your domain with any Web3 wallet like MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, or Bitcoin.com Wallet.

Question 5

Can I transfer or sell my domain later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your blockchain domain is an NFT, which means it's a fully transferable digital asset. You can sell it on NFT marketplaces, transfer it to another wallet, gift it to someone, or include it in your estate planning. Unlike traditional domains where the registrar controls transfers, you have complete ownership and control. Many premium domains appreciate in value over time, making them potential investment assets.

Question 6

Can I use my blockchain domain in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox?

Accepted Answer

Yes — blockchain domains now resolve in all major browsers. Freename's Web3 DNS infrastructure enables .pulse, .vaulted, .liveshop and all GotTLDs domains to resolve natively in Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Safari — just like a .com. No browser extensions needed. Your domain works as a regular website AND a Web3 identity.

Question 7

Is this suitable for enterprises and large organizations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Fortune 500 companies and enterprises use blockchain domains for strategic digital asset management. Benefits include: predictable costs (no annual budget for renewals), blockchain-verified ownership (immune to domain hijacking), portfolio-level domain acquisition with volume pricing, and future-proof Web3 branding. Dedicated enterprise support, compliance documentation, and bulk domain management are available.
