Today at FWB Fest, we’re making an exciting announcement with our newest partner Friends With Benefits (FWB), creatives, thinkers, and builders who are passionate about shaping the future of Web3, to apply for and obtain the .fwb Top-Level Domain (TLD) during ICANN’s upcoming application window. FWB is a vibrant community that’s all about pushing the boundaries of Web3. With thousands of members around the world, they’ve been growing the adoption of emerging technologies in their community in pursuit of a better internet. With the .fwb TLD, they’ll be able to build the future of the internet by bridging their community with over 5 billion internet users through real-world assets and interoperable digital identities.

Empowering The Friends With Benefits Community with .fwb Domains

Our official partnership with Friends With Benefits will introduce real .fwb domains that will function across both traditional internet platforms with the Domain Name System (DNS) at the foundation and Web3 ecosystems alike. Obtaining the real .fwb TLD will allow .fwb domain names to serve as versatile digital identities, supporting everything from websites and email addresses to Web3 applications like digital wallets and decentralized credentials to allow FWB to expand their reach beyond their current community.

This means, you will be able to use:

  • yourname.fwb as your website address
  • [email protected] as your email address
  • yourname.fwb as your multichain wallet address
  • @yourname.fwb as a verified username across Web3 platforms

The Friends With Benefits .fwb Collaboration

Fred Hsu, CEO & Co-Founder of D3, shared his excitement for the partnership, saying, “At D3, we’re thrilled to support Friends With Benefits in advancing Web3 communities in both the physical and digital worlds. Securing the .fwb TLD will be a game-changer, creating new opportunities for FWB’s global network.”

Greg Bresnitz, CEO of Friends With Benefits, adds “FWB Fest brings together our community for the premier tech and culture event of the year. Announcing this partnership on stage with D3 is an exciting moment in propelling our community forward with innovations in the Web3 space. With the real .fwb domains powered by D3, we will be able to provide a complete experience for our members that supports our mission at FWB.”
