How It Works
Web2 and Web3 roles
.com domains continue to exist in the Web2 world:
Registered via ICANN-compatible registries
Resolved via DNS
Used for websites, email, and hosting
The Web3 layer adds:
On-chain ownership (wallet-based)
Transferability
Programmable identity
Future marketplace liquidity
Web2 remains the legal root.
The blockchain upgrades ownership and utility it does not replace domain law or DNS.
Registration model
AllDomains registers .com domains on your behalf through standard Web2 registries.
Once registered, a corresponding on-chain record is created on Solana that represents:
Ownership
Renewal state
Metadata pointers
This creates a single hybrid domain that works across both worlds.
Ownership model
AllDomains is the legal Web2 registrant
You control the domain on-chain via your wallet
Ownership transfers happen on-chain
Legal enforcement remains Web2-based
This design ensures compatibility with existing internet rules while enabling Web3 utility.
