Brave Browser & Wallet Now Support .brave Domains
Brave Browser and Brave Wallet users can now look forward to direct resolution for .brave domains starting with version 1.81, slated for release on August 5, 2025. This update, a result of collaboration between Brave and Unstoppable Domains, allows users to express their onchain identity and engage with others who share their privacy-focused values.
Brave, known for its speed, security, and crypto-native features, is offering its 86+ million monthly active users and the broader privacy-first internet community a new way to represent themselves online with .brave domains. Users can claim a .brave domain that reflects their commitment to privacy, ownership, and internet freedom, and launch an onchain website to showcase their digital identity.
The .brave top-level domain (TLD) is minted on Polygon and resolves to various blockchains, including Sonic, Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Bitcoin. This empowers users to own their digital identity and simplify crypto transactions. Additionally, .brave domains unlock messaging and group chat features, fostering a sense of community among users.
Unstoppable Domains, the company behind the .brave TLD, is deepening its collaboration with Brave. It intends to apply for the ICANN gTLD .brave to expand the distribution and associated functionality of .brave. This move aims to provide a more widely recognized and integrated domain space for users.
With the direct resolution for .brave domains in Brave Browser and Brave Wallet, users can now own and express their onchain identity more effectively. The future ICANN gTLD application by Unstoppable Domains promises to broaden the reach of .brave and unlock greater functionality, further enhancing the user experience in the Brave ecosystem and the wider onchain world.
