Doma Protocol Launches Mainnet — 30M Domains Going Onchain

Doma Protocol has officially launched its mainnet — the first blockchain specifically designed for tokenizing internet domains. The platform transforms traditional DNS domains into programmable onchain assets that can be traded, used in DeFi, and integrated with Ethereum Name Service (ENS).

How Domain Tokenization Works

Doma Protocol has built a DNS-compatible blockchain that allows domain owners to convert their domains into tokens without losing functionality in the traditional internet. A domain continues to work as a regular web address while simultaneously becoming a digital asset that can be transferred, traded, and used as collateral in DeFi protocols.

Unlike ENS domains (.eth), which exist only on the blockchain, domains tokenized through Doma maintain full compatibility with classical DNS infrastructure. This is a fundamental distinction — owners get the best of both worlds.

ENS Integration

The key development is the partnership between Doma and Ethereum Name Service. Through the new integration, any DNS domain tokenized via Doma automatically functions as an ENS-compatible name. Users no longer need to go through the complex DNSSEC import process — it happens natively.

For domain owners, this means the ability to link their traditional domain to an Ethereum wallet and receive cryptocurrency transfers to a human-readable address instead of a long hash.

Registrar Partnerships

Doma has signed agreements with major domain registrars — InterNetX, NicNames, and EnCirca — providing access to over 30 million existing domains for tokenization. These are not new blockchain domains but real internet addresses already used by businesses and individuals worldwide.

Registrars serve as bridges between traditional domain infrastructure and the blockchain, ensuring legal and technical validity of tokenized domains.

Multichain Support

Tokenized domains work beyond the Ethereum network. Doma Protocol supports compatibility with several major blockchains — Base, Avalanche, and Solana. This allows domain owners to use their onchain assets across different ecosystems without needing to create separate tokens for each network.

This multichain approach expands the potential audience and liquidity of tokenized domains, making them accessible to users of various blockchain platforms.

Domain RWA Market Outlook

The launch of Doma Protocol opens a new category of real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain. The global domain name market is valued at billions of dollars, and tokenization could significantly increase its liquidity and transparency. The ability to instantly transfer domains via blockchain without intermediaries and lengthy transfer procedures represents a substantial advantage over the traditional market.

For the crypto ecosystem, this marks another step toward merging the traditional internet with Web3, where digital identity becomes unified across both spaces.
