Why does this need web3? Why can’t you do “unstoppable domains” using non-crypto decentralized techniques like those in Tor or BitTorrent?

  How does a person control/own the domain without someone else taking it? Note that UD is built on chain, not building their own token. For comparison, Helium is a VC scam and the VC needed the HNT token to cash out the money errr the value.

    Look at .onion domains. You make the domain name itself a public key based on the server's private key. You only need an authority if you want people to solely own arbitrary names.

      Public keys are not human friendly.

      ETH addresses are the hash of a public key, similar to how .onion works. The goal of Unstoppable Domains is to tie human-readable aliases to these public keys.
