Unstoppable Domains and Secret Network Launch .SECRET: A New Era in Secure Digital Identity

Unstoppable Domains (UD) has partnered with the Secret Network Foundation to launch the .SECRET top-level domain (TLD), marking a significant advancement in digital identity and privacy in the blockchain space. This collaboration combines UD’s expertise in Web3 digital identity with Secret Network’s focus on confidential computing, providing users with a secure, encrypted and user-friendly online presence.

.SECRET domains are created on the Polygon blockchain and serve as unique digital identities. They offer a range of features, including crypto transactions, encrypted messaging, and extensive integration with decentralized applications (so-called “dApps”). With .SECRET, users can effortlessly send and receive over 200 cryptocurrencies, replacing complex wallet addresses with a simple, user-friendly .SECRET domain. Additionally, .SECRET to .SECRET exchanges are secure and encrypted.

One of the most notable features of .SECRET domains is the ability to create personalized digital profiles through UD.me. These profiles allow users to network and interact with nearly 900 built-in dApps, wallets, and exchanges, enhancing their online presence and personal brand. This holistic approach to digital identity is designed to cater to both early adopters of Web3 and newcomers looking to explore the benefits of blockchain technology.

Secret Network adds an extra layer of privacy to .SECRET domains. This technology supports advanced privacy features such as private voting, encrypted storage, and sealed auctions, making it a powerful tool for secure digital interactions. The integration of Secret Network technology ensures that users’ on-chain identities and domain metadata remain fully encrypted and protected at all times.

In addition to the Web3 TLD, UD and Secret Network plan to apply for a branded Web2 generic top-level domain (gTLD) with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in 2026. If approved, the gTLD .SECRET will join the ranks of established domains like .com, .org and .net, strengthening its place in the digital landscape.

Unstoppable Messaging, powered by the Web3 XMTP messaging protocol, provides .SECRET domain owners a secure platform for decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messaging. This feature allows users to connect with friends, stay informed about their favorite projects, and nurture vibrant communities within the .SECRET ecosystem.

As the digital landscape evolves, the introduction of .SECRET domains places Unstoppable Domains and Secret Network at the forefront of secure digital identity solutions. This collaboration not only addresses current privacy concerns, but also sets a new standard for digital identity and communication in the Web3 era, paving the way for a more secure and private digital future.
