Unstoppable Domains, a leader in on-chain domain naming and digital identity solutions, has partnered with EtherMail to bring “.ethermail” domains to the platform, adding significant value to EtherMail’s 2.3 million users. The introduction of .ethermail domains enables single sign-on (SSO) functionality, allowing EtherMail users to log into various services using a consistent and secure digital identity.
The new .ethermail domains will be minted on Base, a blockchain infrastructure layer that aligns with Ethereum’s ecosystem. This choice ensures that users benefit from low gas fees while enjoying the security and interoperability of Ethereum. By establishing the .ethermail domain on Base, Unstoppable Domains provides a cost-effective way for EtherMail users to create and secure their digital identities in a streamlined environment.
As part of this partnership, Unstoppable Domains will incorporate EtherMail into its login options, allowing users to access their accounts with EtherMail credentials. This integration simplifies account management by bridging traditional email functionality with on-chain digital identity systems. Unstoppable Domains already supports a variety of login methods, including traditional email, wallet connections, Google, X (formerly Twitter), and now EtherMail.
Enhancing Web3 Communication and Security
EtherMail offers an array of services that connect users with the decentralized web, including tools for wallet management and digital identity security. By empowering users with full control over their personal data, EtherMail allows them to manage how their information is used by marketers, businesses, and other entities. EtherMail also strengthens crypto and digital asset transactions, providing users with detailed email confirmations outlining the specifics of each transaction before they complete it, enhancing transparency and security.
The introduction of the .ethermail TLD (Top-Level Domain) brings notable benefits to EtherMail’s “web3 inbox.” For instance, users can adopt a unique .ethermail identity that serves as their official digital identity within the Web3 space. Additionally, users can personalize their addresses, choosing a readable format such as name@ethermail.io rather than a complex wallet address. This enhancement gives users’ emails a more professional and personalized appearance, simplifying interactions within the EtherMail platform.
Another feature, PayMail, allows for two-factor transaction confirmation sent directly to the user’s inbox without gas fees, making the process of sending and receiving cryptocurrency more straightforward and user-friendly. The .ethermail domain also fosters community engagement, as users can actively become EtherMail and on-chain ambassadors through branded extensions, boosting visibility and recognition within the Web3 ecosystem.
Shared Vision for Secure Digital Identity
Unstoppable Domains Chief Operating Officer, Sandy Carter, highlighted the shared vision behind this partnership, emphasizing both companies’ focus on simplifying blockchain adoption and secure digital identity. Carter noted that like Unstoppable Domains, EtherMail is dedicated to helping users gain control over their identities and promoting blockchain’s potential to bridge Web2 and Web3. She expressed Unstoppable Domains’ commitment to working closely with EtherMail to enhance user functionality and expand offerings within the Web3 space.
The collaboration enhances EtherMail’s existing infrastructure, allowing users to conduct transactions or manage NFTs under a simplified identity that uses a .ethermail domain. With the added SSO capability, Unstoppable Domains users can log into their EtherMail accounts using their digital identities. The .ethermail domains will also be automatically supported across Unstoppable Domains’ ecosystem, including hundreds of decentralized applications (dApps), wallets, and exchanges, further strengthening their utility within Web3.
Shant Kevonian, CEO and founder of EtherMail, expressed optimism about the partnership, stressing the potential for delivering enriched services to EtherMail users and driving adoption of Web3 principles. Kevonian pointed out that a core element of the collaboration is building diverse Web3 communities, enabling users to gain badges or tokens to represent their Web3 achievements or affiliations. He sees this approach as key to demonstrating how Web3 can transform digital interactions, shifting control back to users.
Looking ahead, the partnership between Unstoppable Domains and EtherMail may extend to acquiring a branded generic top-level domain (gTLD) through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) during its upcoming 2026 issuance. A gTLD operates as a root-level domain, and if the application succeeds, the .ethermail gTLD will become one of the unique web addresses alongside established domains like .com, .org, and .net.
This joint pursuit of a new .ethermail gTLD reflects the ambition of Unstoppable Domains and EtherMail to solidify .ethermail as a versatile digital identity domain, potentially expanding its impact across both Web2 and Web3 spaces. The collaboration ultimately underscores a commitment to making digital identities more accessible and usable, reinforcing both companies’ dedication to a user-centered approach in the evolving blockchain landscape.
