What is a blockchain domain?

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 that require annual renewal fees, blockchain domains are a one-time purchase with perpetual ownership.

Do I really never have to pay renewal fees?

Correct—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.

Which blockchain are these domains on?

GotTLDs domains are built on Freename's enterprise blockchain infrastructure, which uses Polygon (an Ethereum Layer 2 solution) for fast, low-cost transactions.

Can I transfer or sell my domain later?

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.
