A traditional domain is a lease. An onchain domain is a deed — owned outright, permanently, with no ongoing obligation.
Search the .esports registry, find your name, complete a one-time registration. No annual subscription, no recurring charge.
Your ownership is written to a blockchain — a permanent, public, tamper-proof ledger. Anyone can verify it. No one can alter it.
No expiry date, no renewal window, no registrar to answer to. The domain is yours for as long as you hold the key.
Onchain domains rely on a clean separation of concerns. Each layer does one thing — and does it well.
The top-level domain is operated by Kooky. The namespace is reserved exclusively for competitive gaming — no Web3 generic, no crypto-only, no overlap with .com.
Freename is the onchain domain platform handling registration, key management, and integration with Web3 wallets. ICANN-accredited, multi-chain, production-ready.
Every registration is minted as a permanent, immutable transaction on the blockchain. No central database. No registrar gatekeeper. Just cryptographic ownership.
Traditional and onchain domains use very different paths to connect a name to its owner.
An onchain .esports domain unlocks capabilities a traditional domain never could.
Your registration is an NFT-like asset on the blockchain. Provable ownership, transferable, inheritable — without any third party's permission.
Send and receive crypto using your .esports name instead of a wallet string. Already integrated in Bitcoin.com Wallet — more wallets coming.
As AI agents transact autonomously on the web, onchain domains become the natural addressing layer. Your .esports is future-proof identity.
As major browsers add native Web3 resolution support, .esports domains registered today will resolve without any extra infrastructure. First movers win.
The fundamental shift between renting a domain and owning one onchain.
The .esports TLD is registered via Freename, which operates across multiple blockchain networks. Your domain ownership is recorded onchain as an immutable, verifiable transaction.
No. Freename handles the technical layer — you can register your .esports domain without any prior crypto knowledge or wallet setup. Connecting a wallet later unlocks crypto-native features (like wallet resolution).
Traditional domains are annual leases. An onchain .esports domain is registered once and owned permanently. No annual fee, no registrar who can expire it. See the full case on the why page.
No. Ownership is cryptographic — it lives on the blockchain and cannot be modified or revoked without your private key. No company, no government, no court order can pull the rug.
Your domain is tied to your wallet's private key. Keep your credentials safe — the registry cannot recover lost access. This is the price of true ownership: with great power comes great responsibility.
Yes. Onchain domains are fully transferable assets. You can sell, gift, or transfer ownership at any time — directly between wallets, no intermediary needed.
Native browser resolution is on the roadmap as Web3 infrastructure matures across major browsers. The ownership record is real and permanent today regardless of resolution — every domain registered now will resolve when browsers catch up.
Similar concept — both are TLDs registered onchain. The key difference: .eth is a generic Web3 namespace, while .esports is category-specific to competitive gaming. Strong category signal versus generic crypto identity.
The infrastructure is ready. The namespace is open. Register your handle and own it permanently onchain.
The .esports namespace is open. Claim your dot now — permanently, onchain, forever.
