Is there a step by step guide to help me get started?

We have your back! With GOAT.Domains, you’re never alone. Here’s a thorough, beginner-friendly step-by-step guide to help users get started in Web3, from getting a wallet to exploring the metaverse:

Step 1: Get a Web3 Wallet - Your wallet is the key to the blockchain and metaverse.

• Pick a Wallet: Download Uniswap, MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet from official sites.

• Set It Up: Create a password and save your seed phrase (this recovers your wallet if needed).

• Add Funds (Optional): Buy crypto like ETH directly in the wallet or transfer from an exchange like Coinbase.

Step 2: Get Your Digital Identity - Your Web3 domain is your personal identity on the blockchain.

• Choose a Domain: Search for your name or brand on GOAT.Domains. (Yours Forever - No Renewal Fees)

• Register your Domain: Pay with any major credit card, PayPal or crypto.

• Mint your Domain: This process generates the creation of your domain on the blockchain.

• Receive your Personal Domain: Within 48 hours of minting your GOAT domain, you will receive a personal GOATLink.eth personal domain. Use your .eth personal domain for instant use while the full functionality of your .GOAT domain is on the way. YOU MUST MINT YOUR .GOAT DOMAIN IN ORDER TO RECEIVE YOUR GOATLINK.ETH PERSONAL DOMAIN. The minting process creates a blockchain record that includes your wallet address. Your GOATLink.eth personal domain will be sent to the same wallet address as your .GOAT domain.

• Use your Identity: Attach your GOATLink.eth domain to your wallet by using the “Select Primary ENS Name” button.

Step 3: Explore the Metaverse - Now you’re ready to explore virtual worlds built on blockchain. (USE THE EXPLORER INSIDE YOUR WALLET)

What are Web3 domains?

The modern Internet (Web2) operates under a centralized framework where major platforms regulate data, enforce restrictions, and retain the authority to revoke access. Traditional domain names (e.g., YourName.com) are managed through registrars such as GoDaddy or Google Domains, which can suspend or seize them based on external policies. By contrast, blockchain-based domains (e.g., YourName.GOAT) are fully owned by the user, eliminating third-party control and ensuring permanence. This transition represents a broader shift toward decentralization, transparency, and direct ownership of digital assets.

Web3 domains are a key component of this evolution, offering a decentralized alternative to conventional domain systems. Stored on the blockchain rather than managed by centralized registries, these domains provide users with full control, security, and censorship resistance. Their immutable nature ensures that ownership cannot be revoked or altered by external entities, reinforcing the principles of digital sovereignty.

Why should I buy a Web3 domain?

Owning a Web3 domain secures your online identity in the emerging metaverse without reliance on centralized authorities. Your Web3 domain can be used to create a website, seamlessly integrate with dApps, and replace complex wallet addresses with human-readable names, simplifying blockchain transactions and interactions.

And if you register a GOAT domain, all existing Web3 domain owners on our platform will be grandfathered in to receive exact match domains in the Web2 ecosystem (if our application is successful), ensuring seamless integration and maximizing the value of your digital assets.

How does a Web3 domain work?

Web3 domains operate on blockchain technology using smart contracts to manage ownership and resolve naming conflicts. They provide immutable records, facilitate decentralized website hosting, and enable secure, direct transactions across blockchain applications.

What’s the difference between a domain and a top-level domain?

A domain is the unique address you use to access a website, like example.com. A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of that address, such as .com, .org, or .namaste, which categorizes the domain. In example.com, .com is the TLD, and example is the specific domain name registered under it.

Do I need a domain to explore Web3?

While you don’t need a domain to explore the metaverse, having one unlocks a whole new level of possibilities. A Web3 domain isn’t just an address—it’s your unique identity in the decentralized world. Without a domain, your digital ID is just a long string of confusing numbers and letters, like 05ddeved…, making it harder to connect and be recognized. It’s much easier—and more personal—to interact in the metaverse when you’re known by your preferred name.

For example, if someone wants to send you a virtual card, a specialized NFT, or even funds, it’s far simpler (and more secure) to share a name you’ve chosen, rather than a complicated string of characters. Plus, as the metaverse grows, having a personalized domain ensures you stand out and stay ahead in this evolving digital landscape.

Why do I get both a .GOAT domain and a GoatLink.eth personal domain?

When you purchase a domain through GOAT.Domains, you receive both a .GOAT domain and a GoatLink.eth personal domain to maximize your Web3 presence. For example, if you register You.GOAT, you will also receive a You.GoatLink.eth personal domain.

The GoatLink.eth personal domain gives you immediate access to the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), the most advanced and widely adopted decentralized naming system. Launched in May 2017 and led by the Ethereum network’s project team, ENS was the first to market and is now deeply integrated across wallets, decentralized applications, and blockchain services.

Once Freename’s domain name system is fully adopted, the GoatLink.eth personal domain will no longer be necessary, as your .GOAT domain will be fully compatible across both Web2 and Web3 ecosystems.

Thus, your .GOAT domain ensures you’ll have a matching Web2 identity as soon as the top-level domain receives ICANN approval, while the GoatLink.eth subdomain provides instant access to the most widely supported Web3 services.

What exactly is the Domain Match Program?

The Domain Match Program ensures your Web3 domain ownership seamlessly transitions into the traditional Web2 ecosystem when the .GOAT top-level domain (TLD) becomes available. If GOAT.Domains is awarded the .GOAT TLD after ICANN opens applications for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), anticipated in 2026, you’ll be grandfathered in to receive an exact-match .GOAT domain.

While awaiting official approval of the .GOAT TLD in the Web2 ecosystem, participants receive both a .GOAT Web3 domain and access to GOATLink.eth personal domain for immediate use. This ensures your Web3 presence is active, recognized across decentralized platforms, and future-proofed for seamless integration into the Web2 environment once the .GOAT TLD goes live.

ICANN and the gTLD Program

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) oversees the global domain name system in the Web2 ecosystem, ensuring internet stability and security. The gTLD (generic top-level domain) program allows organizations to apply for and manage new domain extensions like .GOAT. ICANN periodically opens application rounds where companies submit proposals to operate new gTLDs, involving a detailed review of technical, financial, and operational capabilities.

Competition for the .GOAT TLD

In the event multiple organizations apply for the .GOAT TLD in the Web2 ecosystem, ICANN evaluates each application based on technical, operational, and community support criteria. If necessary, the process could move to an auction. GOAT.Domains is confident we will prevail due to our strong integration in the Web3 space, solid community backing, and commitment to bridging Web2 and Web3 through innovative domain solutions.

Who owns GOAT.Domains

GOAT.Domains is owned and operated by Xist Digital (digital portfolio management company established in 2010). Xist Digital partners with Freename to leverage their proprietary blockchain technology for the registration and management of secure, decentralized, and permanently owned domain names. This collaboration equips individuals, businesses, and organizations with a resilient and future-ready digital identity within the Web3 ecosystem.

Who is Freename?

Freename is a leading multichain Web3 namespace provider and is widely recognized as the GoDaddy of Web3. Freename owns, operates, and maintains the infrastructure that supports the creation, registration, and utility of Web3 domains, offering blockchain-based domain names that do not require renewal fees.

Freename is also an ICANN-approved registrar, ensuring compliance with ICANN’s global domain registration standards for domains governed under its authority, while simultaneously pioneering advancements in decentralized domain technology.

Through the Freename.io platform, users have the ability to register, purchase, and mint Web3 domains across multiple blockchain networks, including but not limited to Polygon, Aurora, Cronos, and Binance Smart Chain. These domains can be utilized for decentralized website hosting, crypto wallet addresses, and Web3 identity management, providing users with a secure, autonomous, and blockchain-integrated digital presence.

Who is ENS?

ENS, or Ethereum Name Service, is a decentralized domain naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain and was first developed in close collaboration with the team that built Ethereum, giving it a foundational role in the Web3 ecosystem and ensuring deep integration across Web3 platforms.

GOAT.Domains integrates ENS through GOATLink.eth, providing seamless access to Web3 services while ensuring your domains are recognized and compatible with major wallets and dApps. However, once Freename’s decentralized DNS becomes fully mature and widely adopted, the need for .eth personal domains as a bridge will no longer be necessary, as .GOAT domains will be directly integrated into Web3 wallets and applications.

ENS integration & future ready with Freename DNS
