We’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Own The Doge, the influential community that collectively owns the original photograph of Doge as an NFT. Together, we will work to bring the .doge Top-Level Domain (TLD) to life, creating an interoperable bridge between Web2 and Web3 for Doge enthusiasts around the world.

What Does This Mean for the Doge Community?

Our official partnership with Own The Doge will introduce real .doge domains that work across the traditional internet and Web3. This means that the Doge community will soon be able to use .doge domains for a wide array of applications, enhancing their digital identity and interactions across various platforms.

When approved, members of the Doge community will be able to use:

  • Yourname.doge as a website address
  • [email protected] as an email address
  • Yourname.doge as a multichain wallet address
  • @yourname.doge as a verified username across Web3 platforms

A Vision for The Future of Doge

Fred Hsu, CEO and Co-founder of D3, emphasizes the transformative potential of this partnership: “We’re building the future of Internet infrastructure. While many Web3 communities have attempted to build their own name systems, these solutions are not interoperable with the broader Internet. Our partnership with Own The Doge will help strengthen their community by bridging the infrastructure and utility gap between Web2 and Web3 domains and identities.”

Smoke, Chief Operating Officer at Own The Doge, shares our enthusiasm: “At Own The Doge, our community is our core, and we’re thrilled to start the journey of offering every member of our ecosystem their unique .doge domain name, in collaboration with D3. Domains are integral for billions of internet users, and soon, they’ll integrate seamlessly into the Doge network, empowering our community to continue creating internet history while promoting the ethos of Doing Only Good Everyday.”

Own The Doge joins a growing number of top Web3 ecosystems including Magic Eden, ApeCoin DAO, NEAR Protocol, Shiba Inu, Core Chain, and Gate.io who have partnered with D3 as their official domain and identity service provider to accelerate the transition to real Web3 domains for their communities. D3’s domain network is designed to support developers and blockchain projects by integrating domains as real-world assets. This enables the creation of fully interoperable decentralized applications (dApps) and services, leveraging both Web3 innovations and existing Internet infrastructure. Users can explore these partners at the D3 Marketplace.
