Freename Launches as ICANN-Accredited Domain Registrar, Bridging Web2 and Web3

Freename, the Web3 naming platform best known for letting users create blockchain-based top-level domains, has officially expanded into traditional domain registration as an ICANN-accredited registrar.

The move marks a major step in Freename’s vision to combine Web2 and Web3 naming systems.

From Web3 Roots to Web2 Integration

Originally, Freename focused on Web3 solutions—empowering users to launch their own blockchain TLDs. Earlier this year, the company raised $6.5 million in funding and secured ICANN accreditation, setting the stage for this hybrid approach.

Now, Freename customers can:

  • Register real DNS domains like .com, .net, and others for use with websites and email.

  • Register Web3 domains that can function as wallet addresses and decentralized identities.

  • Claim second-level names under Freename extensions, blending Web2 utility with Web3 innovation.

OMWEB Joins the Future of Domains

One exciting example of Freename’s hybrid model is OMWEB, which not only operates on OMWEB.com but also has its own .omweb TLD on Freename’s platform.

That means businesses, creators, and individuals can now secure domains like:
👉 yourname.omweb

It’s a new way to extend digital identity into Web3 while keeping compatibility with traditional web standards.
