- Spending the week in Hanoi for the ICANN APAC DNS Forum — but what’s unfolding here goes far beyond ICANN. Two years ago I told Thanh Le we’d come back with more than ideas. We’d bring proof that domains could mean something more in this region. Identity. Utility. Culture. Not
- I could not be more passionate about fixing this name-collision problem!#HSCLifeRules by Fred Hsu (@heyheyfred), CEO & Co-Founder at @D3inc For Fred, it all comes down to user experience. If copying a 30-digit wallet address still feels like defusing a bomb, we’ve got a problem. Real adoption will come when sending assets from Andy.sol to Fred.ape
00:00 - Web3 and domains seem like a perfect match, right? But solutions like ENS and Unstoppable Domains face challenges that limit their broader use. Let’s break down the issues. 🧵⤵️
- One year ago, it took me 9 steps to connect my ENS name with my .COM on GoDaddy just to enable Web3↔Web2 resolution (no name collision). Now it’s 1 step for every domain via Doma-integrated registrars to reach ~127 million Ethereum users and wallets.

- Big step forward with @ensdomains and @domaprotocol - bridging DNS and Web3 the way it should’ve always worked. 🌐🤝Tokenized DNS domains (.com, .ai, .xyz, etc.) on @domaprotocol will seamlessly function as native ENS names, thanks to our latest collaboration with @D3inc.

- Got two unsolicited offers on my .AI name in the span of 2 weeks - one for $50, one for $11,000. The Web3 degenerate in me says: screw it, let’s token it, tighten the spread, build a real order book, then spin up synthetics for liquid staking and perps with 5–100x leverage.
- Talked to a domainer with a $1B+ portfolio and not surprised that 90% of it just sits. That used to be strategy. Now it looks like waste. Tokenization isn’t some future bet, it’s already happening. Case in point: -Partners are live in Testnet -Domains are moving -Paper
The $360B domain industry is broken. 90% of premium domains sit idle, trapped by speculators. Fred Hsu, CEO of @d3inc, argues fractional ownership is the only way forward: unlocking liquidity, enabling community governance, and turning internet real estate from feudal estates - 20 years ago I built the world’s largest domain parking program out of college. Google was the oxygen. Domain sales were growing, but parking was where most of the action lived. Today, domain monetization is evolving. Parking, leasing, fractional sales, AI search/content.
