Web2 domains built the first digital economy.

Short names vanished quickly:

• All 3-letter .com domains were gone by 2000

• All 4-letter .com domains were taken by 2013

Web3 didn’t repeat that pattern — it rewrote it.

Ownership

Web2: Yearly renewals, forever.
Web3: Lifetime ownership or ultra-low renewals.
This changes how investors build — and hold — long-term portfolios.

Earnings

Web2 registries: Earn once per year.
Web3 registries: Earn from every secondary sale.
In Web3, incentives finally align:
If holders win, creators win too.

Liquidity

Web2 transfers: Slow, manual, sometimes days.
Web3 transfers: Instant. On-chain. Final.
Faster settlement → higher trading volume → stronger liquidity curves.

The Constant Across Every Era

Scarcity.

There are only a tiny number of ultra-short combinations.
They disappeared in Web2.
They’re disappearing in Web3 — again.
Every naming cycle starts the same:
short names go first.

This is the moment early Web2 investors wish they could rewind.
Most didn’t act.
The ones who did still talk about those decisions today.

If you understand naming cycles, you already know why timing matters.
