Today we’re excited to announce that we’ve entered an exclusive partnership with Core Chain, a Layer-1 blockchain running on a combined Proof-of-Work and Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism known as Satoshi Plus, to apply for the .core Top-Level Domain (TLD) during ICANN’s upcoming application window.

Bridging The Gap Between The Internet And Web3

Our team is focused on bridging the gap between the Internet and Web3, by developing futureproof, interoperable digital identities with the Domain Name System (DNS) at the foundation. This will enable partner ecosystems, such as Core, to expand their reach beyond their existing communities and provide universal access to all Internet users to their services in a trusted manner.

“Our partnership with Core Chain reaffirms our commitment to making Web3 more accessible, scalable and secure through futureproof, interoperable digital identities with DNS at the foundation,” said Fred Hsu, Chief Executive Officer at D3. “We are excited to have Core Chain join us on this journey, while bringing their users real, usable Web3 identities.“

Partnering with Core Chain

In the year since its mainnet launch, Core Chain has managed to build a flourishing ecosystem with over 5 million active wallets on its network. By partnering with us, the project aims to enhance the accessibility and growth of the wider Web3 ecosystem by offering seamless integration to existing Internet infrastructure, aligning with its mission to onboard the next billion Web3 users.

“We’re excited to partner with D3 to bridge the divide between traditional Internet and Web3 infrastructure. With over 5 million active wallets since our mainnet launch, this step aligns with our mission to make Web3 more accessible and intuitive for the next billion users. By integrating seamlessly into existing Internet infrastructure, we will not just expand our ecosystem but also pave the way for a more interconnected and user-friendly Web3 experience,” said Rich Rines, Initial Contributor at Core Chain.

Core Chain joins NEAR Protocol, Gate.io, Shiba Inu and Viction as part of a series of leading Web3 ecosystems joining us on our journey to accelerate the transition to ‘real Web3 domains’ and futureproof, interoperable digital identities. Users can sign up for early access starting today.
