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.
