D3 Global, a forward-looking domain name company focusing on interoperable digital identities, has revealed exclusive collaborations with the Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Viction blockchain ecosystems. The partnerships aim to secure the .shib and .vic Top-Level Domains (TLDs) in the upcoming ICANN application window.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem, encompassing over 80 million users and featuring the widely used SHIB token and Shibarium Layer-2 blockchain, is joined by Viction, a Layer-1 blockchain prioritizing people with zero-gas transactions and heightened security across 3.7 million wallets.
D3’s introduction of interoperable digital identities will facilitate the expansion of both ecosystems beyond their current user bases, securely offering universal access to their services. This aligns with D3’s overarching mission to seamlessly integrate DNS and blockchain technologies.
A need for innovation
Existing Web3 naming systems face compatibility issues with traditional Internet infrastructure, encompassing the domain name system (DNS), websites, email, desktops, and mobile devices.
These disparities often lead to a lack of crucial functionality, brand ambiguity, data loss, and potential fraud. D3’s patent-pending platform is poised to bridge the gap between traditional Internet and Web3 ecosystems, providing improved utility, security, and universal access for what the company refers to as ‘real Web3 domains.’
Fred Hsu, Chief Executive Officer at D3, said:
“We are excited to partner with the Shiba Inu and Viction teams to bring real domains to their ecosystems. Our vision is to make Web3 more accessible, transparent, scalable, and secure by building futureproof, interoperable digital identities with DNS at the foundation.”
Shytoshi Kusama, Lead Developer of Shiba Inu, agreed by saying:
“Our partnership with D3 allows us to scale outside the existing ShibArmy and give over 5 billion internet users direct access to the SHIB ecosystem. Bringing real domains to SHIB is a big deal, expanding our vision for digital identities within our decentralized ecosystem while driving long-term revenue generation within the ecosystem.”
Thanh Le, a member of the Viction Foundation Council, added:
“Identity has been at the forefront of online interactions for many years, and Web3 shouldn’t be any different. The partnership between Viction and D3 will give our community access to real domains and unlock new capabilities towards interoperable digital identities. We align with D3’s vision and look forward to working with their team to grow the Viction ecosystem.”
Utilizing the collective decades of industry expertise in DNS and Web3 technologies, D3 plans to expedite the shift towards ‘real Web3 domains’ and contemporary digital identities through strategic partnerships with prominent blockchain ecosystems.
