It is clear, however, that with the evolution of the web, users have become increasingly interested in protecting their privacy, rather than the possibility of being traced.
For this very reason, many providers offer the possibility of hiding the whois data, and replacing your data required by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the body that manages Internet address providers) with the data of a forwarding service.
If you are at least a Generation Y, then you will remember when there was no internet and the few things that could be done with it initially. I have an indelible memory of the noise of the 56k modem that initiated the connection. Did I unlock a memory for you? Well, that was Web1.
Then came 2000, with the social network and Web2. And now it's time for Web3, the third generation of the web, which works (or perhaps it's better to say will work ) via blockchain, which guarantees users maximum freedom of use. And blockchain domains are a fundamental and strategic tool for decentralizing the internet.
A domain on blockchain describes your entire digital identity on the iraq email list internet: social profiles, accounts, email addresses, websites, wallets. All the information about you can be inserted into it, and thanks to your domain you can access all the services on blockchain.
Furthermore, blockchain domains can also be used as social media usernames. And in case you didn’t know, the most popular social media when it comes to blockchain is Twitter.
You only need to take a look at Twitter to notice usernames that end in .eth, and that extension actually stands for Ethereum.
Ethereum is a decentralized platform for creating smart contracts written in a special programming language. The cryptocurrency tied to this platform, Ether, is second only to Bitcoin in market value.
And no, it's not just a bunch of nerds using these names and domains. In first place among the 100 most followed Twitter profiles with an ENS name (i.e. registered on Ethereum Name Service) we see Paris Hilton.
