- The partnership will bring interoperability to SHIB and DNS domains
- D3 will soon launch dedicated SHIB names, the backbone of users’ Web3 identities
- The existing Shib Name Service (SNS) will transition to D3’s infrastructure
SHIB and its Shiba Inu ecosystem announced its partnership with D3 Global, a next-generation domain company that will assist it in applying for the .shib top-level domain (TLD) during ICANN’s next application window, Bankless Times learned from a press release exclusively shared with our medium.
Bringing interoperability to SHIB
The partnership will not only bring SHIB and DNS domains interoperability, but also reaffirm SHIB’s position as an innovator within the Web3 industry. D3 is collaborating with leading Web3 projects to apply for their own TLDs through ICANN, the non-profit multi-stakeholder organization responsible for the maintenance of the Internet’s domain name system. D3 will soon launch dedicated SHIB names, which will form the backbone of users’ Web3 identities.
Shytoshi Kusama, Lead Developer of Shiba Inu, said:
Our partnership with D3 allows us to scale outside of the existing ShibArmy and give over 5 billion Internet users direct access to the SHIB ecosystem. Bringing real domains to SHIB is a big deal, expanding our vision for digital identities within our decentralized ecosystem, while driving long-term revenue generation within the ecosystem.
Delivering universal access to Web3
D3’s patent-pending platform will integrate traditional Internet and Web3 ecosystems to deliver enhanced utility, security, and universal access for what the company calls “real Web3 domains.” By tapping its team’s decades of collective industry experience across DNS and Web3 technologies, D3 will accelerate the adoption of Web3 and modern digital identities through partnerships with leading blockchain ecosystems.
Shayan Rostam, Co-founder of D3, commented:
Domain names have been the foundation of the Internet for nearly 40 years and will continue to be an integral part of the Web3 era. Our mission is to deliver real Web3 domains that work everywhere. Our platform enables modern, interoperable digital identities that integrate existing internet infrastructure with Web3 ecosystems.
Showcasing unique digital identities
Through its partnership with D3, the ShibArmy will be able to collect and showcase their digital identities, replacing the long, impersonal wallet addresses users have become accustomed to and taking these to the current internet upon approval.
The existing Shib Name Service (SNS) will transition to D3’s infrastructure, enhancing the overall user experience and setting the foundation for strong, interoperable digital identities using the global Domain Name System.
