Meet .box – The First Blockchain-Integrated, DNS-Compatible Domain

Toronto, Ontario, January 18, 2024, Chainwire

.box is bridging Web3 and Web2  

Pioneering a fresh era in the domain name sector, My.box Inc. is thrilled to announce the launch of its Public Beta on January 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM ET. This marks the beginning of the general availability of the first-ever domain name system that's natively supported by browsers, email services, and digital wallets. 

  The future of digital identity  

.box domains provide a secure and frictionless identity across Web3 and Web2 frameworks. Owning ‘example.box’ means you have decentralized ownership along with the ability to manage DNS records, integrate ENS, facilitate payments, authenticate in Web3, and handle messaging, websites, and emails. According to Josh Brandley, the founder of .box, \"There's an incredible synergy happening where Web3, decentralized identity, and domain names intersect – we're proud to be the first to unify these elements into an easy-to-navigate product.”   

.box addresses the significant challenges of blockchain domains  

.box is setting a new benchmark in the realm of blockchain-centric top-level domains. While many emerging blockchain domain solutions generate excitement, they often falter as they lack compatibility with conventional browsers and email platforms. In contrast, .box is ICANN-approved, acknowledged by the global Domain Name System (DNS), and supported by the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). Both DNS and ENS have cultivated significant network effects, establishing themselves as fundamental components of infrastructure. .box is pioneering a method that seamlessly integrates the functionalities of both systems, providing users with a superior experience. 

The team behind .box  

The .box TLD is managed by Intercap Registry, an ICANN Accredited Registry Operator. Intercap has committed over ten years to the development of .box. Key partners include 3DNS and ENS Labs, whose leaders share the vision of merging the advantages of Web3 with the domain industry. As Nick Johnson, the founder of ENS, notes, “We have always had profound respect for the DNS and are thrilled to observe this unique implementation of .box that enables flawless interoperability between the two platforms.” Paul Gauvreau, CEO of 3DNS, adds, “Integrating real-world domain assets on-chain enhances nearly every application – we expect that this offering will be embraced by both Web3 veterans and newcomers.”  

Launch pricing  

At launch, .box domains will enter a premium pricing phase to ensure equitable access. Initial prices will start at $7,680 USDC, descending exponentially over six days to a capped price of $120 USDC. All domains will renew annually for $120 USDC. Domains can be minted and managed through the dApp located at my.box, with payment options including ETH or USDC.
