Another fake non-ICANN TLD? I thought people stopped falling for these.


It's weird...they talk about it resolving, but only in a Web3 context. I don't know enough to understand how it differs from a "real" TLD.

> Minted on the Polygon blockchain, .brave domains will resolve across multiple networks—including Base, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Sonic, and more—making them widely compatible in the Web3 ecosystem.


In the article they mention having a goal to apply for a gTLD to be able to setup a DNS server for compatibility with things that use traditional DNS.

Until then the domain resolver needs to either be built into the browser itself or installed by the user via a WebExtention.


then they'd have to moderate that dns server, and so your domains are no longer "unstoppable"...


They already moderate their resolver. Anyone is free to setup their own uncensored one if they want.
