Announced on stage at FWB Fest 2024, the
official partnership supports FWB and D3's joint mission of
building communities on the New Internet
LAS
VEGAS, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- D3 Global, a
next-generation domain name company developing the first on-chain
domain network, today announced an exclusive partnership with
Friends With Benefits (FWB), a community of creatives, thinkers,
and builders who are passionate about shaping the future of Web3,
to apply for and obtain the .fwb Top-Level Domain (TLD).
Friends With Benefits is a social DAO with thousands of members
worldwide, including artists, developers, and cultural influencers.
FWB organizes various events, collaborations, and projects, both
online and in real life, to push Web3 culture forward and explore
the potential of decentralized technology.
Through this official partnership with D3, FWB will leverage the
.fwb TLD to connect and expand its community around the world. Once
the .fwb TLD is approved by ICANN, the organization that manages
and maintains the Internet's core infrastructure, the D3 network
will allow for real .fwb domains to be used across the traditional
internet and Web3. Obtaining the real .fwb TLD will allow .fwb
domain names to serve as versatile digital identities, supporting
everything from websites and email addresses to Web3 applications
like digital wallets and decentralized credentials to
allow FWB to expand their reach beyond their current community.
This means, members of the FWB community will be able to
use:
- yourname.fwb as a website address
- hello@yourname.fwb as an email address
- yourname.fwb as a multichain wallet address
- @yourname.fwb as a verified username across Web3 platforms
Fred Hsu, CEO and co-founder of
D3, commented on the news: "At D3 we share Friends With Benefits'
passion and mission for advancing Web3 communities in both the
physical and digital worlds. The Internet has become a key part of
day-to-day life, and securing the .fwb TLD will play a critical
role in enabling new connections for the FWB community."
FWB is known for its inclusive and diverse community and the
organization operates on principles of shared identity, inclusion,
and open collaboration, all principles enabled by Web3 technology.
As the organization grows and accepts new members, leveraging the
.fwb TLD will connect FWB with over 5 billion traditional internet
users, making the transition to Web3 a seamless process and
maintaining the internet experience these users are accustomed
to.
Greg Bresnitz, CEO of Friends
With Benefits, adds "FWB Fest brings together our community for the
premier tech and culture event of the year. Announcing this
partnership on stage with D3 is an exciting moment in propelling
our community forward with innovations in the Web3 space. With the
real .fwb domains powered by D3, we will be able to provide a
complete experience for our members that supports our mission at
FWB."
D3 and Friends With Benefits will submit the application for the
.fwb TLD during ICANN's upcoming application window. This is the
first major new generic TLD application window since 2012, and only
the second in ICANN history, presenting a unique opportunity for
Web3 communities to establish their domain presence. D3 Global
supports leading companies across the Web3 and blockchain industry
and will announce additional partnerships in the near future.
