The explosive growth of Web3 naming systems such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Unstoppable Domains, and others has reignited longstanding concerns about cybersquatting in the digital domain landscape. Traditionally, cybersquatting refers to the practice of registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark…

As decentralized identity and Web3 naming systems proliferate across a growing number of blockchain networks and protocols, the need for interoperability has become a pressing concern. Users and developers now interact with an expanding array of domain-like systems such as Ethereum Name Service (.eth), Unstoppable Domains (.crypto, .nft, .wallet), Lens Protocol (.lens), Space ID (.bnb),…

Ethereum Improvement Proposal 6585, known as the Expiring Domain NFT standard, introduces a new paradigm for representing domain-like digital assets on-chain, particularly those that require time-bound validity. In contrast to typical ERC-721 or ERC-1155 non-fungible tokens, which are designed to represent assets with permanent or indefinite ownership unless explicitly burned or transferred, EIP-6585 is purpose-built…

The rapid development of Web3 naming systems such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Unstoppable Domains, and other decentralized identity protocols has enabled users to map human-readable names to blockchain addresses, content hashes, and metadata stored on decentralized storage systems like IPFS and Arweave. However, despite these innovations, most end users still access the internet through…

As decentralized naming systems such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Unstoppable Domains, and Handshake gain traction as alternatives to traditional DNS-based domains, a major unresolved issue remains the integration of Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates. TLS is a foundational technology in web security, enabling encrypted connections and authenticating websites through the familiar padlock icon in…
