Leading Bitcoin NFT Marketplace Gamma.io Announces .btc Domain Marketplace
As the platform has passed one year since the launch of the Bitcoin NFT marketplace, Gamma.io has launched a .btc domain marketplace for web3 decentralized identities.
PALO ALTO, California, 5 October 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Gamma.io, the leading open marketplace for Bitcoin NFTs, has announced the launch of its BNS marketplace for .btc decentralized identities and domains, built on the Stacks programming layer for Bitcoin. Within hours, the domain marketplace was popular, with .btc domains becoming the most popular NFTs on the platform.
In April, the company announced its new brand, Gamma, and its plan to become the world’s web3 social hub centered around NFTs. As ownership of digital assets proliferates, Gamma will provide a platform to serve as the home for collectors, creators and investors to come together to explore, trade and showcase extraordinary NFTs through the Bitcoin ecosystem. Decentralized identities are a natural development and expansion of the type of use cases that the company facilitates.
“At Gamma, we strongly believe in the future of decentralized identities, and we are excited to take this step to further their adoption on the most secure blockchain, Bitcoin,” said the founder and CEO. Jamil Dhanani. He continued, “Bitcoin was the original home for decentralized identities on the blockchain. Recent technological breakthroughs using the Stacks programming layer have unlocked the user experience needed to make them a reality, in a way that web3 users have come to expect from other decentralized identities, like those on Ethereum.”
In recent months, the Ethereum Name Service, ENS, has exploded in growth and popularity as more web3 users discover the power of decentralized identity. BNS seeks to revitalize the first vision of human-readable Bitcoin addresses and a user-owned internet.
