Please note: The Unstoppable Domain DApp is only available on version 5 of our website. If you want to use this DApp, please visit the older version of our website at the following link: https://v5.myetherwallet.com/

Introduction

Unstoppable Domains is a service that assigns a user-specific domain tied to your wallet’s account address.

Unstoppable Domains take the format of YourDomainHere.crypto. The intention behind this is to simplify the normal public address into a form that is easier to use and send to others.

An easy example of this is our MEW donation address:

Normal donation address: 0xDECAF9CD2367cdbb726E904cD6397eDFcAe6068D

.crypto donation address: mewtopia.crypto

Both of these addresses lead to the same wallet destination, but the Unstoppable Domain version is much more convenient.

How to Register an Unstoppable Domain

Step 1. Head to MyEtherWallet.com.

  • Always check the URL to make sure you’re on our legit site!

Step 2. Access your wallet.

  • If you don’t already have a wallet, you will need to create a new wallet.

  • You will also need $40 worth of ETH for the domain, and a small amount of ETH for gas.

Step 3. Head to the Dapps section, to the left of your wallet’s overview page. It can also be found at the bottom of the page, under the ‘Dapps’ section.

  • Here you will see the ‘Unstoppable Domains’ option. Click there!

Step 4. Enter your desired domain name to see if it is available.

  • Unstoppable Domains must be 6 characters or longer.

  • Keep in mind that the final product will look like YourDomainHere.crypto.

Step 5. If your domain is available, you can buy it for $40 by clicking ‘Buy’.

  • Unstoppable Domains allows you to purchase the domain with fiat through a Credit Card, if you want to. This process is handled by a third-party service called Stripe.

Step 6. After confirming the transaction, your domain request will process for a moment. When it’s done, you will be redirected to a page that tells you to wait around 5 - 10 minutes.

Step 7. After the processing is completed, you’re done! Your new domain will be transferred to the wallet you used to purchase it.

  • The address your domain points to should automatically be set as the same one you used to purchase it.

This process will set your address as the owner of the domain. To view more information about your domain, you’ll need to set up an account at the Unstoppable Domains website, or search your new .crypto domain on their homepage.
