Unstoppable x Kintsugi Planning & Strategizing for ICANN gTLD Application

Jun 18, 2024·Last updated on Jun 18, 2024

Our partnership with Kintsugi is heating up! On the heels of their announcement to join Japan’s $1B DigiDen Digital City Garden Initiative, we’re planning and strategizing with Kintsugi to DNS-enable .Anime and .Manga Web3 domains by applying the gTLDs during the next ICANN initiative. If the application is successful, this will be a significant step forward towards integrating traditional Web2 functionalities into our portfolio of Web3 domains.

Kintsugi is well-known for offering anime fans innovative ways to engage with their favorite shows and characters. Building on our successful partnership that launched .Anime and .Manga domains, we are now working together on a strategy to plan for an application with ICANN on acquiring the gTLD equivalents. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of digital identity and online presence.

The key focus of this collaboration is to take another step towards DNS-enabling our Web3 TLDs through an application to ICANN. This initiative represents a significant effort to merge the familiar aspects of Web2—such as DNS capabilities—with the advanced, decentralized features of Web3.

“Our pursuit of the .anime and .manga Web3 domains through this ICANN application represents Kintsugi’s commitment to empowering creators, cultivating global fan communities, and uniting the worldwide anime and manga cultures under distinctive digital identities they can proudly claim.” said Kintsugi’s CEO, Ron Scovil.

One of the most exciting aspects of this collaboration is the potential enhancement of .Anime and .Manga domains. By successfully integrating DNS functionality, these domains will not only retain their existing Web3 capabilities but will also incorporate traditional Web2 features. This additional functionality would ensure a seamless experience for users, blending the best of both worlds and opening up new possibilities and more domain use cases.

With these popular anime conferences just around the corner, there’s no better time to plan for our ICANN gTLD application with Kintsugi!

As we work towards this innovative integration, anime and manga enthusiasts have a unique opportunity to secure their own .Anime and .Manga domains. If successful in our ICANN gTLD application, these domains could benefit from added Web2 functionality in addition to their existing Web3 capabilities, making them a versatile asset for anyone looking to enhance their online presence in the anime and manga communities.
