In this solo deep dive, I explore Freename, the blockchain-based domain platform that’s reimagining digital identity - one TLD at a time. With a fresh $6.5M Series A (July 2025) and cross-chain support, Freename lets anyone not just register domains - but own and monetize entire top-level domains (TLDs) like .studio, .dao, or .creator. We unpack: Why Web2 domains are broken How Freename bridges Web2 + Web3 (yes, DNS compatible!) Why TLD ownership is the new frontier of identity and revenue Its approach to trademark protection, royalties, and decentralized naming infrastructure In a world where digital identity is fragmented and rented, Freename offers sovereignty.
