The new .ethermail TLD will serve as a gateway for user onboarding and offer single sign-on for Unstoppable users.
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Unstoppable Domains, the world's largest onchain domain name provider and digital identity platform, today announces that it has partnered with EtherMail to introduce ".ethermail" domains, unlocking single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for EtherMail's 2.3 million users.
The new .ethermail domains will be minted on Base, providing users with a cost-effective way to secure their digital identity. This strategic choice of Base as the underlying infrastructure ensures users can benefit from lower gas fees while maintaining the security and interoperability of the Ethereum ecosystem.
As part of this partnership, Unstoppable Domains will enhance its login process by including EtherMail as a sign-in option. Users can log in to Unstoppable Domains using their EtherMail credentials, alongside existing options such as email, Unstoppable domain, wallet connection, Google, and X (formerly Twitter). This integration further streamlines the user experience and strengthens the connection between traditional email and onchain identity management.
EtherMail is a compelling gateway to the decentralized web, enabling anyone to interact onchain via email. Its suite of services includes wallet and digital identity capabilities, which give users full control over how their data is used by businesses, marketers, and other entities. EtherMail meanwhile boasts a number of functions that enhance the security of transacting in crypto and digital assets; for example, whenever users initiate a purchase, they receive a detailed email outlining the specifics or what they're about to sign or purchase.
The new .ethermail TLD brings a host of benefits for users of EtherMail's "inbox for web3". These include:
The ability to create a unique .ethermail TLD that acts as a unique digital identity for web3
The option to use your name@ethermail.io instead of 0x...@ethermail.io, giving your email a professional and personal touch.
Replace long, complicated wallet addresses with a single, easy-to-read name. Combined with the benefits of PayMail, where users receive a two-factor transaction confirmation in their inbox with no gas fees before completing the payment, this feature makes sending and receiving crypto even easier and stress-free.
Driving community engagement by enabling users to become EtherMail and onchain ambassadors via the branded domain extension
"This new partnership brings together two companies with a shared vision: to make it easy for anyone to onboard into the blockchain ecosystem and bring the transformational benefits of secure digital identity to all," said Sandy Carter, Chief Operating Officer, Unstoppable Domains. "Like Unstoppable, EtherMail is harnessing the power of blockchain to empower users to create secure digital identities, bring sovereignty back to users, and build a bridge between web2 and the onchain world. We look forward to working closely with EtherMail to develop and deliver even more powerful functionalities to users in the months to come."
The new partnership supercharges these existing capabilities, enabling users to make crypto or NFT using a simple, secure, and easy-to-remember name.ethermail onchain identity, and supporting SSO, meaning Unstoppable customers can log into their EtherMail account with their existing digital identity. The new .ethermail domains will be automatically supported within Unstoppable Domains' ecosystem of hundreds of decentralized apps (dApps), wallets and exchanges.
"We're delighted to partner with Unstoppable Domains and to begin offering a range of even more compelling services to our users," said Shant Kevonian, CEO and Founder of EtherMail. "Together, we are demonstrating how web3 is transforming every aspect of digital interaction and putting power back in users' hands. A key component of our partnership is to drive adoption of web3 through the ability to build a range of web3 communities - for example, by using badges based on any NFT, domain, or combination of tokens."
As part of their partnership, Unstoppable Domains and EtherMail will strategize on applying for a branded Web2 generic top-level domain (gTLD) with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the entity regulating addresses in the traditional Domain Name System (DNS), at the upcoming ICANN gTLD issuance, currently expected in 2026. A TLD is the highest-ranking root-level domain in issuance. If approved, a new .ethermail gTLD will be created, standing alongside such iconic addresses as .com, .net, .org, and others.
