Unstoppable Domains drops ICANN plans, offers refunds

Unstoppable Domains has dropped its ICANN bids and promised refunds after costs outweighed expected sales for its Web3 domain extensions.

  • Unstoppable Domains has withdrawn its bids for ICANN recognition of its Web3 domain extensions due to prohibitive costs, opting to refund affected customers.
  • The decision means these domains (.crypto, .wallet, .blockchain) will continue to function as on-chain assets but will not integrate with the traditional DNS system for universal browser access.
  • Despite this, Unstoppable Domains will continue to act as a service provider for partner applications, such as Telegram's .gram domain, and ENS is pursuing its own ICANN application.
