One Domain Name To Rule Them All (Email, Website, Crypto Wallet)

TL;DR

Full Story

After we purchased the ‘web3daily.co’ area, we bought it via a ‘Domain Name Service’ (DNS) supplier.

But when we wished to purchase the ‘web3daily.eth’ Ethereum area, we’d need to undergo an ‘Ethereum Name Service’ (ENS) supplier.

…drawback is — very similar to our aunt Suze and uncle Steve — the 2 don’t speak to one another.

Our DNS handle lets of us try our web site and e mail us, whereas our ENS handle would act as a crypto account title of types, permitting of us to ship Ethereum primarily based tokens to ‘web3daily.eth’.

And this highlights one among Web3’s greatest issues:

The whole lot in Web3 is being constructed exterior of the prevailing system (from the bottom up).

When Web1 transitioned into Web2, the change was outlined by the power to work together (e.g. add photographs/movies, depart feedback, and so on.).

However customers didn’t have to do something to be able to make the leap — the performance was built-in into Web1 slowly, however seamlessly over time.

Whereas, in Web3 all the pieces begins from scratch:

Electronic mail accounts flip into pockets apps. Domains flip into Ethereum names. {Dollars} flip into tokens — it’s a multitude.

Now, right here’s the excellent news:

The biggest area service supplier on the planet, GoDaddy, is integrating DNS, with ENS.

What does that imply??

It means, if we wished to arrange a crypto pockets with the DNS ‘ship to’ handle of web3daily.co — we’ll quickly have the ability to go to our GoDaddy account, click on a button, and *bleep-bloop-blop* we now have a crypto pockets registered underneath our Web2-based ‘web3daily.co’ area.

This can be a enormous step ahead for the final ease-of-use of Web3 and crypto (!) as a result of it piggy backs off one thing of us are already used to utilizing.

We like to see it!
