On August 15, 2023, OpenName announced that the full-chain domain name service platform OpenName, which aims to serve 1 billion Web3 users, was officially launched. OpenName supports seven chains: Ethereum, zkSync, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, and plans to expand to more public chains in the future.
The uniqueness of OpenName lies not only in the number of public chains it supports, but also in the fact that the platform uses LayerZero technology, which allows domain names to be seamlessly transferred between multiple chains, meaning that users can freely manage their domain names on each chain.
OpenName supports custom domain name suffixes. In theory, it can support unlimited domain name suffixes. The first phase supports more than 50 suffixes. It can provide free customized domain name suffix services for brands. Brands can obtain exclusive brand domain name suffixes through the custom domain name function, enhance brand influence and strengthen community cohesion and community consensus. The team looks forward to cooperating with more communities and projects to achieve mutual empowerment between the two parties through custom domain names and other means, and promote the prosperity and development of the entire Web3 industry.
The OpenName team pointed out: "Decentralized domain names are the infrastructure of the Web3 world and are of great significance to promoting the development of the entire industry. At the current early stage of decentralized identity (DID) development, we hope to bring innovative DID experience to more Web3 users, so we will pay more attention to product innovation and user services. The team will continue to iterate product versions and improve user experience, so that users can obtain more convenient services to register, use, and manage Web3 domain names."
The launch of OpenName provides an innovative way of Web3 identity authentication and decentralized domain name management. Web2 brands can also enter the Web3 world by customizing their own suffixes on OpenName to achieve breakthrough growth. We believe that OpenName will inject a new paradigm into the DID track and jointly create a more open and free future.
