According to ChainCatcher, citing Decrypt, Web3 domain infrastructure provider D3 Global announced the establishment of a 1 million USDC developer fund to support the ecosystem construction of its Doma Protocol public testnet. The testnet contains two core components: the Doma Forge developer program and the domain investment platform (start.doma.xyz), aiming to transform the $364 billion domain industry into on-chain real-world assets (RWA).
The Doma Forge program will open three resources for developers:
- A million-dollar fund pool to support projects from development to mainnet deployment;
- Technical on-site guidance and ecosystem integration channels for Solana, Base, and others;
- Open-source API tool library supporting domain data applications in scenarios like DeFi and digital identity.
The testnet simultaneously launches a domain trading platform, supporting traditional domain names like .com, .xyz, and Web3 suffixes such as .solana, .shib for on-chain tokenized trading, enabling fractional ownership and DeFi liquidity access.
D3 CEO Fred Hsu stated that the protocol bridges Web2 and Web3 domain markets through an ICANN-compliant framework, and has currently achieved technical integration with blockchain networks like Solana and Avalanche. The testnet will open domain asset trading, staking, and other function verifications to over 400 million crypto wallet users.
