What is a Blockchain Domain?
Blockchain domains aim to greatly simplify the process of both sending and receiving cryptocurrencies.
Traditionally the process is complex and prone to errors. When a user wishes to receive crypto they will need to provide their public address to the sender. As an example, Bitcoin public addresses are around 30 characters. As you can imagine it is easy to make an error within these 30 characters, an error would mean that the BTC would either be sent to another address or be lost.
By using a blockchain domain like the ones that Unstoppable Domain’s offer all a sender or receiver needs to know is the domain address such as johnsmith@bitcoin.com. This makes the whole process far simpler and less prone to errors.
