D3 Global, a pioneer in DomainFi infrastructure, today announced a $1 million USDC grant program to support developers building on the newly launched Doma Protocol public testnet – a major milestone in bringing the $360B domain industry onchain as real-world assets (RWAs). The Doma Protocol testnet launch includes two groundbreaking initiatives: the Doma Forge developer ecosystem program and the Doma testnet app for domain investors (start.doma.xyz). Anchored by D3’s $1M USDC grant, the Doma Forge program offers developer-in-residence opportunities and technical resources to accelerate DomainFi innovation. The launch will bridge existing Web2 domains (e.g. .com, .xyz, .ai) and future Web3 extensions (e.g. .solana, .anime, .ape, .shib) into a global, interoperable marketplace for domains unlocking liquidity and utility across browsers, applications, and Web3 wallets.
Doma Forge: The Epicenter of DomainFi Innovation
Doma Forge is a new builder-first program designed to accelerate DomainFi innovation, enabling developers to build DApps using Doma’s robust infrastructure. Key components include:
Doma Testnet App: Transforming How Domains are Owned, Used, and Traded
The new Doma testnet app, accessible at start.doma.xyz, enables domain investors to trade tokenized domains as liquid, composable assets in a decentralized marketplace. With integrations underway with leading Web3 ecosystems like Solana, Base, and Avalanche, the app supports:
The Doma testnet app will allow investors to test these features with tokenized versions of existing domains (.com, .xyz, .ai) and future Web3 extensions (.sol, .anime, .ape, .shib), creating a seamless bridge between the existing internet and Web3 ecosystems.
DomainFi: Bridging Web2 and Web3
DomainFi redefines the domain industry by transforming 364M+ domains into liquid, composable assets. The Doma Protocol ensures:
D3 Global is building the world’s first DomainFi network to tokenize 362M+ existing and future domains as real-world assets. D3 unlocks the financial potential of domains by building on Doma Protocol, a decentralized blockchain infrastructure that bridges traditional Internet domains (.com, .net, .ai, and .org) and future domain extensions from the Web3 world (.sol, .anime, .shib, and .ape). Backed by Paradigm, the D3 team consists of industry veterans with over three decades of collective experience, known for leading domain name monetization, internet protocols, and various TLD operations including .xyz, .inc, .tv, and .link.
