Why VirtualSociety

Built for identity,
not just addresses

A traditional domain points at a server and expires on a schedule. A Web3 domain is an asset you hold, resolving to whatever you decide it means today and tomorrow.

●

Lifetime ownership

Buy once and it never expires. No renewal fees, no registrar holding your name hostage.

◎

True self-custody

An on-chain token under your private key. Nobody can freeze it or sell it from under you.

▣

Payments by name

Send to name.virtualsociety instead of a 42-character hex address.

✉

Mail and hosting

Attach a Web3 mailbox or resolve to IPFS. Your identity stays portable across hosts.

Use cases

Where a VirtualSociety name pays off

One namespace that stays coherent as your projects and audiences multiply.

🏠

Creator identity

One handle across your site, socials and payouts, with no platform able to reclaim it.

💼

Brand & commerce

A name that reads the same everywhere, plus a payment address customers trust at a glance.

🤖

Dapps & protocols

User-facing names that double as login identifiers, resolving identity straight from chain.

⚖

AI agent identity

Let agents sign, pay and verify using a readable name rather than an opaque address.

🏡

Communities

Give a community, DAO or club a namespace owned by its members, not a registrar.

🔒

Long-term holding

No expiry and no renewal bill, for projects that intend to exist for years.

The web2 bridge

Web3 asset, ordinary link

A Web3 domain is a strong asset but an awkward thing to send someone who has never heard of one. Holders of a .virtualsociety domain can claim a standard web address, served through Freename's Noto network DNS.

$ claim stunning.virtualsociety ✓ ownership verified on-chain ✓ link issued → https://stunning.virtualsociety.top
Open the claim tool

A URL fragment cannot do this job. Browsers never send virtualsociety.top#stunning to a server, so the request that arrives is indistinguishable from a homepage visit. A subdomain is the only mechanism that works.

Two links, two jobs

The tool and the holder link use the same word for different purposes, so keep them straight.

tool, for everyone virtualsociety.top/claimweb2 holder link, for claimweb2.virtualsociety owners virtualsociety.top/#claimweb2 resulting web2 link claimweb2.virtualsociety.top

Share one link, whoever holds the name

A holder of claimweb2.virtualsociety hands out virtualsociety.top/#claimweb2. It opens the tool with their name already filled in, so a visitor does not have to know how Web3 naming works to get to the right place.

The fragment is read by the page after it loads, because browsers never send a fragment to a server. Same URL works for every holder, so there is nothing to provision per name.

Try #claimweb2
Side by side

Web3 domain vs traditional

The difference comes down to who owns the name and what happens when you stop paying.

  Web3 domain Traditional
Renewal Never expires Annual fee
Custody Your private key Registrar account
If you stop paying Nothing happens Name is released
Resolving wallet address Native Manual TXT record
Transferable On-chain, instant Auth code, 5+ days
Reversible by registrar No Yes

Traditional domains are still the right choice for pure web hosting. A Web3 domain is for identity: names that must outlive any single host, registrar or company.

Portability

Move between chains

Your name is not locked to one network.

Questions

Everything you need to know

What is the difference between /claimweb2 and /#claimweb2?

virtualsociety.top/claimweb2 is the tool itself, open for anyone. virtualsociety.top/#claimweb2 is a shareable link that opens the same tool with the name claimweb2.virtualsociety already filled in, intended for holders of that domain to pass to their own visitors. The fragment is handled in your browser after the page loads, since a URL fragment is never sent to a server.

Who can claim a web link?

Anyone holding the matching .virtualsociety domain. Connect the wallet that owns it, sign a message, and we check the on-chain owner before issuing anything. A wallet that does not own the name is refused.

Can I claim the same link twice?

Yes. A link belongs to whoever holds the domain, so re-claiming after a transfer simply issues the same address again. There is nothing to configure and nothing to cancel.

Do I have to run my own website?

No. Your name resolves in browsers and wallets that support Web3 DNS, and you can point it at any host or at decentralised content such as IPFS. If you would rather hand people an ordinary address, the claim tool issues one.

What does ownership actually mean?

Your domain is an on-chain token. Holding the controlling private key is what makes it yours, so you can transfer it, sell it, or hold it indefinitely. No registrar can revoke it.

Are there renewal fees?

No. There is no expiry and no renewal cycle. A one-time purchase is the whole cost.

How do I verify I hold a domain?

Connect the wallet that controls the name. We read the on-chain owner through Freename's resolution API and compare it to your connected account, and we verify your signature server-side, before any link is issued.

Which browsers and wallets support this?

Freename's Noto protocol resolves Web3 domains without a plugin, and browsers such as Aloha, Mises and Beldex resolve them natively. The Chrome, Firefox and Brave extension covers the mainstream case, and MetaMask resolves domains through its Freename Snap.

Can I use my name for email?

Yes. Web3 mail providers including EtherMail, Mailchain and LedgerMail accept Web3 domain recipients, so you can receive mail at your name.

Can I sell or transfer my name later?

Yes. Transfer it on-chain whenever you like, or list it on the Freename aftermarket to reach buyers already inside the ecosystem.
