In collaboration with Unstoppable Domains,Bitcoin.com makes it easier than ever to use cryptocurrency as a payment method. Multi-chain usersBitcoin.com wallet can now send cryptocurrencies to the full range of domains offered by the blockchain-based domain provider. This means, for example, that people can send bitcoin to an address that can be read by people as ‘elizabeth.crypto’ instead of to the long and complicated wallet addresses that reside in the Bitcoin protocol (e.g. bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq).
“Cryptocurrency is a powerful force for economic freedom in the world, but adoption has been stifled by the frankly poor user experience – and the industry standard use of complex wallet addresses is a major pain,” he said.Bitcoin.com CEO Dennis Jarvis. “Unstoppable Domains’ human-readable addresses are a big step in the right direction, and that’s why we’re proud to support them in our fully self-service wallet.”
Unstoppable Domains is one of three major suppliers globally of blockchain-based domains, the other two areEthereum name service (ENS) andFoundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO). These services, which are all supported inBitcoin.com walletprovide domain name extensions associated with a public blockchain instead of the traditional Domain Name System (DNS).
“When domain name ownership is managed through public blockchains rather than in the private databases of traditional domain name registry services such as Verisign, the result is reduced censorship risk and improved property rights – two of the key value propositions of cryptocurrency in general,” Jarvis said.
OnUnstoppable domainsBuyers can buy a domain name like ‘brad.crypto’ which is represented as onenon-fungible token (NFT) which live on either the Ethereum or Polygon blockchains. Via Unstoppable Domains’ web portal, buyers can map their cryptocurrency addresses to the domain name / NFT, and that information is registered on the blockchain. Everyone who usesBitcoin.com wallet can then send any assigned cryptocurrency to the owner of the domain name by entering the domain name (eg ‘brad.crypto’) in the send field.

In that environment, tools that increase sovereignty ownership of data are important infrastructure.
