Launch your own Namespace

Launch your own namespace for your ecosystem or community. If you are not familiar with 3DNS, we built the standard to tokenize web2 domains into fully composable onchain assets; all domains are fully onchain, function as ENS names, and work in the browser. You can now bring the highest utility domains to your community through our namespace product.

Our first two examples of this are Superchain Identity and Mystery Box
