Freename Domains have revolutionized the way we transact in the world of cryptocurrencies. With its seamless integration with MetaMask and major wallets, you can now experience hassle-free and secure payments like never before. Say goodbye to complicated processes and welcome a new era of convenience and efficiency.

In this article, we will explore how to pay with Freename. This includes the ease that comes with using Freename to pay, leveraging the power of MetaMask and other popular wallets.

What Are Web3 Payments?

Web3 payments are wallet-to-wallet transactions that are instant and secure, thanks to blockchain technology. With Web3 payment solutions, users can send and receive payments in cryptocurrencies, which can be used for everyday purchases or even converted into FIAT currency.

Web3 domains provide a smart and secure way to name wallets, making it easier for users to send payments through a Web3 payment gateway using a human-readable name like firstname.lastname instead of copying and pasting long wallet addresses.

Freename’s Web3 domains are fully customizable, allowing users to choose both their Top-Level Domain (TLD) and Second-Level Domain (SLD). But thanks to Freename’s blockchain payment technology, even traditional domains like .com can now be linked to wallet addresses and used for Web3 payment services. This is a game-changer because it adds Web3 payment functionality to traditional domains, in addition to their usual uses like hosting websites or sending emails.

How Does Web3 Payments Work?

Freename has developed proprietary Web3 payment solutions featuring a resolver that translates domain names into wallet addresses. This means that instead of entering a long and complicated wallet address, users can just type in a domain name to send and receive Web3 payments through a Web3 payment gateway.

In the traditional Internet, a domain name maps to an IP address to load a website. In Web3, a domain name maps to a wallet address, enabling blockchain payments with ease.

Freename’s resolver technology is fully integrated with MetaMask via MetaMask Snaps, making it easy for users worldwide to send Web3 payments using domain names—whether they are .com, .metaverse, or any other TLD. This integration provides seamless access to Web3 payment services, eliminating friction in blockchain payment transactions.

Another great option is the Freename Browser Extension, designed specifically for the Freename community. It includes a built-in Web3 payment solution that integrates seamlessly with MetaMask and other leading wallets, making Web3 payments even more accessible.

Why Use Domain Names for Web3 Payments?

There are tons of benefits to using domain names for Web3 payment services:

  • No more long wallet addresses! Users can simply share their domain name instead of copying and pasting complex wallet strings when making Web3 payments.
  • A complete digital identity. Your domain name is your username for the digital world—you can use it for Web3 payment solutions, logging into dApps, hosting websites, and even sending emails.
  • More security. No risk of copying the wrong wallet address and losing funds while making a blockchain payment.

The entire Internet relies on domain names! And now, Web3 payments do too! With Web3 payment gateways and Web3 payment solutions, sending and receiving decentralized payments is now simpler, faster and more accessible than ever.

What’s the Difference Between Web3 Payments and Blockchain Payments?

You might hear people talk about Web3 payments and blockchain payments, but there’s no real difference! They’re just two ways of saying the same thing—fully decentralized payments running on blockchain technology. Whether you call it a Web3 payment solution or a blockchain payment system, it all comes down to fast, secure, and trustless transactions powered by the blockchain.

Why do i Need a Wallet?

Freename domains are blockchain-based assets and would be minted and stored using a wallet. Users are required to mint and manage their domains using a Metamask or Coinbase-configured wallet. It must be a non-custodial wallet, meaning that one must own the private keys to the wallet in order to approve transactions via a signature.

To benefit from Freename Web 3 domains/TLDs, you must have a wallet. This is because Web 3 domains/TLDs are blockchain-based assets. Users can mint and manage their domains using Metamask or Coinbase-configured wallets.

Keep in mind that it must be a non-custodial wallet. You own the private keys to the wallet (in order to approve transactions via a signature).

Are the Domains Associated with ICANN?

ICANN does not manage freename.io domains. Freename.io believes their TLDs/domains must allow customers to operate independently. Freename.io wants to build a utility infrastructure, allowing customers to use their services for valuable and generative purposes. By leveraging blockchain technology, Freename Web 3 domains/TLDs have no centralized authority imposing rules and regulations.

What is a Wallet?

Every blockchain user requires a wallet in order to interact with the network. A wallet is essentially an account on the blockchain where transactions can be sent and received. It is also where one can store blockchain assets such as cryptocurrency or NFTs (non-fungible tokens). There is no personal information associated with a wallet and none is required to create one. A wallet consists of a public key and a private key. The public key can be safely shared with anyone who wishes to send assets to the corresponding wallet, however, the private key should not be shared and is the key to accessing the wallet in the event where access is lost or to create another instance.

A crypto wallet (cryptocurrency wallet) is software or hardware that enables users to store and use cryptocurrency. With cryptocurrencies, there isn’t any actual money to carry around in a wallet. They exist on the blockchain. Similarly to traditional bank transfers, crypto wallets enable users to send and receive cryptocurrencies, NFTs, etc.

A wallet consists of a public key and a private key. To receive assets, you share your public key associated with your wallet. You should NEVER share your private key.

Keep in mind that currently, it is not possible to import the domain that has been transferred, but it will be possible soon!

From the moment you deposit a trademark request, your web3 TLD will be protected worldwide for 6 months awaiting for the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IGE.ch) to confirm and register the availability of your TLD.****

A trademark is any symbol, phrase, or word that allows customers to identify a company’s goods or services. Freename is a web3 domain/TLD provider that also provides trademark registration.

Is Minting the same as Buying?

Purchasing a TLD (or domain) on Freename and minting it on the blockchain are two distinct steps. When you purchase a TLD (or domain), the transaction is recorded in Freename’s database and not on the blockchain. Minting a TLD (or domain) on the blockchain requires a second step: log into the user’s personal area, select the TLD (or domain) and press “mint TLD” (or domain): done! Don’t worry, once you have purchased a Freename domain, no one can take it away from you!

No. Buying and Minting a TLD/domain are two different things.**

Buying **is the process of recording a transaction on Freename’s database and not on the blockchain.

Minting is the process of pushing a user’s domain from Freename.io data onto the public ledger of a blockchain and into a user’s wallet. Giving the user full control over the TLD/domain.

It is very easy to mint a domain/TLD once you purchase it. Simply:

  • Log into your personal area
  • Select the TLD (or domain)
  • Press “mint TLD” (or domain)

What is Domain Minting?

Minting is the process of publishing a Freename domain (or TLD) on the blockchain via your wallet to gain full custody of the domain. This means that the only person that has control over the domain (or TLD) is the person who controls (has access to) the wallet.

Minting is the process of pushing a user’s domain from Freename.io data onto the public ledger of a blockchain and into a user’s wallet. Giving the user full ownership over the domain.

Minting on Freename.io is as simple as the following steps:

  1. Go to the Freename.io website
  2. Enter the TLD/domain you want to buy in the search bar
  3. Add the TLD/domain to your cart
  4. Go to checkout
  5. Create a Freename.io account
  6. Purchase the TLD/domain with cryptocurrency or a credit card
  7. Go to “portfolio and incomes.”

A domain name is a string of letters and/or numbers that points to the IP address of the corresponding website. Generally, it is easier to remember a name than a long string of numbers.
