On May 20, 2025, we are excited to announce our enhanced collaboration with Brave, a leading privacy-focused browser, through the launch of .brave—the official onchain domain for Brave’s 86+ million monthly active users and the privacy-first internet community. This new top-level domain (TLD) is minted on Polygon and resolves various cryptocurrencies, including Sonic, Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Bitcoin, providing users with a unique way to own their digital identity, simplify crypto payments, and connect across the onchain world.
Our partnership with Brave has already made it simple for users to experience the benefits of onchain domains, whether it’s accessing onchain websites directly in the Brave browser or resolving Unstoppable domains inside Brave Wallet for seamless crypto payments. With the introduction of .brave domains, we are offering the Brave community a dedicated platform to showcase their identity within the onchain ecosystem.
Brave is renowned for its privacy-centric features, such as its Web3 wallet, ad blocking capabilities, speed, and crypto-native functions. It is not just a browser but a movement towards a better, user-centric internet experience.
By embracing .brave domains, users can express their digital identity in a new way and take charge of their online interactions. Whether you are a creator, developer, or privacy advocate, a .brave domain serves as a powerful and personal representation of your involvement in the Brave ecosystem.
The launch of .brave domains enables users to:
1. Launch an Onchain Website: Build an onchain website hosted on IPFS that is directly accessible in Brave Browser without any hosting fees.
2. Simplify Crypto Payments in Brave Wallet: Receive payments across multiple cryptocurrencies by sharing a simple, human-readable .brave domain name.
3. Own Your Onchain Identity: Control your onchain digital identity by building a verified profile, linking wallets, showcasing digital collectibles, and connecting with other Brave users and the broader onchain community.
Starting from version 1.81, .brave domains will be directly resolvable within Brave Browser and Brave Wallet, with a planned release date of August 5th, 2025.
In addition to payments and profiles, .brave domains can be used to connect with others through Unstoppable Messaging, trade or sell domains in the Unstoppable Marketplace, and access onchain apps, games, and metaverses via Login with Unstoppable using your .brave domain.
We are collaborating with Brave on the upcoming ICANN gTLD application to expand the reach of .brave domains and unlock new functionalities, providing users with more ways to leverage their domain across various digital experiences.
The Brave community has always been a proponent of ownership, privacy, and freedom on the internet. Now, you can embody that vision by claiming your own .brave domain and showcasing your role in shaping the future of the internet.
Take the first step towards building the future of the internet by claiming your .brave domain today and demonstrating your commitment to a decentralized and user-centric online experience.
