Know What Ethereum Name Service Is 💡
ENS is like a decentralized version of your typical domain name service (DNS), but it's built on the Ethereum blockchain. Instead of traditional domain names like "google.com," you can register and manage human-readable names like "myname.eth" that are used to access decentralized websites, smart contracts, and other Ethereum-based resources. 📲
It's like giving your website or smart contract a cool nickname that people can actually remember! 👀
Where do you get these ENS domains, you ask? Well, there are a couple of options👇
ENS: Built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It's a decentralized alternative to traditional DNS, which means you don't need a central authority or registrar to manage your domain names. 🚫
Plus, using an ENS domain name makes it easier for people to access your decentralized resources without having to remember long, complicated Ethereum addresses.
Unstoppable Domains: They create web3 domains and usernames that you can use to build and verify your digital identity, log in seamlessly to applications and games, simplify payments, and even create and host your own websites. 🪄
And the best part? Once you buy and claim a Web3 domain, it's yours forever, with no renewal fees! Unstoppable Domains also offers a variety of domain extensions like .blockchain, .nft, .bitcoin, .wallet, .dao, .crypto, and more.
The Different Types of NFTs 🎨
✨ Fun Fact: These domain names are also a type of NFT. Here are the different types of NFTs we have 👇
1/1s: Unique NFTs, with only one copy of each available. For example, the artist Beeple sold a 1/1 NFT for $69M at Christie’s.
Collectibles: Sets of NFTs that each have unique traits. They are categorized as follows 👇
PFPS - People buy to represent their avatars and get access to PFP communities like Azuki, Crypto Punks, BAYC and Surge.
Badges - An NFT that represents a specific accomplishment. These tokens can be earned by completing certain tasks in games and communities. E.g. This Week in Web3 Badges for different levels 👀
Sports - Sports NFTs are similar to badges—they're meant to show off your fandom for a certain sport or team, whether that's through in-game activities or just by watching plays on TV. E.g. NBA Top Shots and Sorare.
Domain Names - Unique digital assets that people can use as their usernames and website addresses and have their own web3 name.
Music NFTs: They're digital tokens that represent ownership of music assets like albums, tracks, and remixes. They can also include exclusive content like behind-the-scenes footage and personalized shoutouts. You can buy, sell, and trade them on blockchain marketplaces. ⛓
In-game NFTs: These tokens give players more control and ownership over in-game items, allowing for a more immersive gaming experience. You can collect rare items, trade them, or use them to gain an advantage in the game. 🎮
Digital Real Estate: NFTs representing unique virtual real estate or land in digital worlds. You can own a virtual building, island or land in virtual reality worlds. They can be used for gaming, socializing or as a form of digital investment. 🏡
