AMA: Redefining Digital Identity: The Rise of Blockchain Domains with Superlink and the Handshake Protocol
In our latest podcast episode, we had an insightful conversation with Matt and David from Superlink, a game-changing blockchain domain registrar. Superlink is making significant strides in redefining digital identity, tapping into the innovative potential of the decentralized Handshake protocol.
The discussion started with an introduction to Superlink. The project initially conceptualized purchasing last names as top-level domains. It has now evolved into a major player in the digital landscape, having accumulated 1.4 million last names, covering half the world's population. Superlink's unique approach is to allow anyone to register their first name and last name as a personal digital ID. The team emphasized that their mission is about building a community, making blockchain domains more accessible and user-friendly.
We then delved into the utility of the Handshake protocol. Handshake plays a pivotal role in managing the root DNS naming zone, making it easier for anyone to register their name as a domain and use it for various purposes. Superlink aims to bridge the gap between the web 2 and web 3 worlds. We explored how domains can transform a complicated set of numbers and IP addresses into something easily recognizable and accessible.
Our conversation moved onto the community around Handshake and the partnerships built around last names. Superlink stands out by allowing just the name, without any extra information, appealing to the average person's preference. The goal is to achieve 100% coverage of last names through partnerships and adding lastnamefirstname to the platform.
Discussing Superlink's domain pricing and community involvement, Matt and David emphasized the value of the community and making the platform accessible to the masses. The team stressed the importance of building trust with the community and the transformative potential of blockchain domain registration in the future.
We also discussed the challenge of bridging the education gap and making blockchain domains accessible to the mass market. The importance of patience, support, and a deep understanding of the space was emphasized. It is essential to operate with a good heart and tough skin, ensuring the space of digital ID moves forward ethically.
The podcast concluded with a call to action for everyone to follow Superlink's Twitter page and support their community. We highlighted the transformative potential of personal ID domains and the importance of real-world connections made possible by blockchain domains.
In essence, Superlink is at the forefront of the digital identity revolution, bridging the gap between web 2 and web 3 worlds with finesse. With their innovative approach to blockchain domain registration, they are indeed setting the stage for the future of digital identity.
