We’re excited to announce that we have signed exclusive partnerships with the Shiba Inu and Viction blockchain ecosystems to individually apply for and obtain the .shib and .vic Top-Level Domains (TLDs) during ICANN’s upcoming application window.

Current Web3 naming systems are incompatible with traditional Internet infrastructure, including the domain name system (DNS), websites, email, desktops, and mobile devices. These gaps frequently result in missing critical functionality, brand confusion, data loss, and even fraud. Our patent-pending platform is set to integrate traditional Internet and Web3 infrastructure to deliver enhanced utility, security, and universal access for what we’ve dubbed ‘real Web3 domains.’

Our Mission – Interoperable Domains

Our partnerships with Shiba Inu and Viction respectively will accelerate and reaffirm our mission to integrate the DNS with blockchain technologies, while positioning our partners as innovators and first-movers in an industry ripe for disruption. Through interoperable digital identities, D3 will enable both ecosystems to expand their reach beyond their existing communities and provide universal access to their services in a trusted manner.

“We are excited to partner with the Shiba Inu and Viction teams to bring real domains to their respective ecosystems,” said Fred Hsu, Chief Executive Officer at D3. “Our vision is to make Web3 more accessible, transparent, scalable and secure by building futureproof, interoperable digital identities with DNS at the foundation.”

Partnering with Shiba Inu

The Shiba Inu, or SHIB, ecosystem boasts over 80 million users across its interconnected family of digital assets, which includes the popular SHIB token and Shibarium Layer-2 blockchain.

“Our partnership with D3 allows us to scale outside of the existing #ShibArmy and give over 5 billion Internet users direct access to the SHIB ecosystem,” said Shytoshi Kusama, Lead Developer of Shiba Inu. “Bringing real domains to SHIB is a big deal, expanding our vision for digital identities within our decentralized ecosystem, while driving long-term revenue generation within the ecosystem.”

Partnering with Viction

Viction is a people-oriented Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem offering zero-gas transactions and enhanced security for over 3.7 million unique wallets on its network. In early November 2023, the platform underwent a major rebranding effort from TomoChain and launched a series of growth initiatives that is set to accelerate the ecosystem’s adoption.

“Identity has been at the forefront of online interactions for many years and Web3 shouldn’t be any different. The partnership between Viction and D3 will give our community access to real domains and unlock new capabilities on the path towards interoperable digital identities,” said Thanh Le of the Viction Foundation Council. “We are thrilled with D3’s vision and look forward to working with their team to grow the Viction ecosystem.”
