DomainFi Basics
- DomainFi, short for domain finance, aims to modernize domain management by tokenizing domains into verifiable assets.
- This process increases trust, speed, security, and lowers costs, making global trading easier.
Tenets of DomainFi
- DomainFi has three main tenets: modernizing, monetizing, and innovating the domain industry.
- It aims to tokenize domains, facilitate monetization through various markets, and encourage app development on top of domains.
Tokenizing Domains
- Tokenizing a domain name simply means putting a digital tracker on it, similar to an RFID tag on a shipping crate.
- This creates a digital representation of the asset on a blockchain, enhancing trust and liquidity.
