Founded in 2022 by Davide Vicini, Freename is a platform for creating and purchasing domain names registered on the blockchain to represent decentralised websites, cryptographic wallet addresses and other applications. It is a multichain Namespace, offering both domains and TLDs without renewal fees.
Freename supports multiple blockchains, including Polygon, Cronos, and Binance Smart Chain, allowing users to mint domains as NFTs on these platforms.
Domains bought on Freename are managed through their platform. Freename provides tools to create and assign subdomains, link crypto addresses, set up redirections, and integrate with Web3 and traditional DNS systems. The TLD is minted as an NFT on a supported blockchain like Polygon or BNB Chain and remains tied to your wallet. However, Freename retains a technical role in the underlying infrastructure, unlike Handshake, where control is fully decentralized.
