According to The Block, the privacy browser Brave has partnered with Unstoppable Domains to launch ".brave" blockchain domains, becoming the first mainstream web browser to have its own on-chain domain.
The domain will be minted as a Non-Fungible Token on the Polygon blockchain, requiring no renewal, can replace complex crypto wallet addresses, and supports hosting decentralized websites on IPFS.
The ".brave" domain will be natively supported for resolution in Brave browser version 1.81 (expected to be released in August 2025) and plans to apply for ICANN generic top-level domain registration in 2026 to achieve comprehensive compatibility between Web2 and Web3 environments.
