Women-led Web3 project that promotes inclusivity and empowerment launches new domain .tball to support seamless crypto payments and enable users to create unique identities.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / Unstoppable Domains, the largest on-chain domain name provider and digital identity platform, today announces their collaboration with Tetherball - an innovative, women-led memecoin project - to launch the ".tball" domain. This is the first meme coin TLD launched by Unstoppable.
The new on-chain top-level domain (TLD) enables the Tetherball community to easily send and receive cryptocurrencies, for instance with Phantom wallet, to both within the Tetherball ecosystem and via other applications (dApps). Meanwhile, users can create their own unique identities via a branded domain extension, enabling the community to be ambassadors on social media and earning badges to showcase their contributions.
Tetherball is positioned as a pioneering memecoin in the Web3 space, proudly founded by an all-women team led by co-founders Kamala Alcantara, Kuan-Ning Tseng, and Michele Musso and backed by powerhouse support of venture capitalist Jenny Q Ta. Built on the Solana blockchain for its scalability and efficiency, Tetherball aims to blend the viral and playful nature of memecoins with the community-centric approach of the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The new .tball Web3 TLD is an essential component of its growth strategy, enabling Tetherball to add new capabilities and an improved user experience (UX).
The launch of branded digital identities directly supports the expansion of the Tetherball platform, its community, and upcoming initiatives. Among the major advantages of the branded .tball domain extension is the ability to replace complex alphanumeric wallet addresses and instead associate users' wallets with a single, easy to remember username. These domains can be used across many different chains including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and other EVM and non-EVM addresses, while the Tetherball TLD is automatically supported by Unstoppable's ecosystem of 865+ integrated web3 applications.
The project aims to captivate the meme community with a series of community engagement initiatives to promote the adoption of .tball domains, including exclusive profile badges for early adopters, a social media campaign showcasing innovative uses of .tball domains, and special events for domain holders to network and share opportunities within the Tetherball ecosystem.
As the latest entry into the growing Unstoppable Domains ecosystem, Tetherball and Unstoppable Domains are exploring the possibility of .tball becoming an ICANN-registered gTLD, further bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized internet infrastructures..
"The on-chain sector is expanding rapidly, with projects like Tetherball driving demand for new, better ways of engaging communities which take advantage of the transformative power of blockchain," said Sandy Carter, Chief Operating Officer at Unstoppable Domains. "Tetherball is pioneering this revolution in the memecoin space, and its model of promoting inclusivity and empowerment will surely become an example for the wider crypto community. Unstoppable is delighted to provide the new .tball domain, and we look forward to working with a company that so closely shares our values and vision for on-chain."
"When we launched Tetherball, we knew we would need to work hard to reach as many users as possible," said Michele Musso, Co-founder of Tetherball. "Thanks to Unstoppable, we can now offer our community more engagement and rewards than ever before, enhancing our message and our visibility. Offering .tball is what will bring $TBALL to countless new users and showcase the transformative potential of women-led initiatives in emerging technologies."
Kamala Alcantara, Co-founder of Tetherball, added, "Partnering with Unstoppable Domains to launch the .tball TLD marks a significant milestone for Tetherball. This collaboration not only strengthens our community but also highlights the innovation and inclusivity that women-led projects can bring to the Web3 space."
Kuan-Ning Tseng, Co-founder of Tetherball, remarked, "The .tball domain extension is a game-changer for our users, offering seamless crypto transactions and unique digital identities. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions and enhancing the user experience within the Tetherball ecosystem."
Jenny Q Ta, Venture Capitalist backing Tetherball, stated, "Tetherball's collaboration with Unstoppable Domains showcases the powerful synergy between innovative blockchain technology and strong leadership. The introduction of the .tball domain will undoubtedly propel Tetherball to new heights, fostering greater adoption and engagement in the crypto community."
The .tball announcement is just another of many wins that Unstoppable Domains can claim as it continues to expand its mission of bringing true digital identity solutions to people worldwide. This new partnership with Tetherball is an essential step on that journey, and paves the way for more accessible and user-friendly digital ecosystems.
