discuss Blockchain Domain Name Service (BDNS) is launching soon!

[55Domains]

Hello Everyone,

I took an extensive break from domaining, but have been back for some time and am currently also involved in BDNS, I am creating this thread as we will soon launch it, and to answer any questions anyone may have before hand.



BDNS is the world’s first Blockchain naming system introducing Name-Only Domains (NODs). NODs are NFTs which you can mint that attach to your wallet address on Ethereum with a name-only character/number combination.

So far, all NFTs offering wallet and domain name configurations (Such as ENS or UD) contain an unessential TLD in the name (e.g. “Blockchain.eth” “Bitcoin.sol” or "Games.zil" etc). BDNS has developed the technology to remove this cumbersome aspect of address masking.

With BDNS NODs, your chosen wallet address is simply one customized string of characters such as “Blockchain” "Games" or "Bitcoin". Not only is this easier to remember, the more fluid functionality of the single Name-Only configuration holds huge promise for the future of Metaverse/Web3 location identification.

In addition to offering NFTs, BDNS is developing its own proprietary wallet which will allow any user to configure their NOD on the Ethereum Blockchain so that it reflects their unique address. With a BDNS wallet, users will be able to send and receive coins and NFTs from a customized name without any unnecessary TLD extension!


BDNS NODs are priced at a highly-attractive price-point, making them accessible for everyone and are a 100% decentralized domain name solution. Prices are as low as $9 per mint for 99.9% of NODs, with additional annual renewal discounts when purchased upfront. (A 70% discount on 2+years)

Further, if you are a Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) holder of an Ape numbered between #1000-#9999 then you can claim your corresponding four-digit number for absolutely free for a limited time period.

BDNS NODs are next-generation premium Blockchain domain name real estate, promising to revolutionize the way we interact with addresses and locations on a decentralized internet using Web3.

Don't miss out on a strictly first-come, first-serve (no private mint) opportunity to claim your own unique name at the forthcoming launch of BDNS. To learn more, visit the links below:

Any questions, I will be happy to answer over the next few days before we launch.

BDNS is a new network with what we've tried to make a low entry price with a highly decentralized minting opportunity so that lots of people can afford to participate for next to nothing (rather than a few heavy hitters being able to get in for a lot of money). This is the opposite of a scheme.

As long as there are "premium tier" names, none of what you wrote above is true. For $9 I would buy 'pb' just for fun and then root for your success. But if you're going to replicate the abysmal nTLD cash-grab model, you might crash and burn for all I care. No offense.

Well, I guess we gotta go back to the good old "premium real estate" example.

Imagine taking a few mil usd and building a housing park, logically, all the nicer ones which can only be built on a strict limit and in certain quantity, you would sell for more than the ones you can build in larger quantity and without limitations?

If we were to put the same entry price on "AA" as we put on "888" or "8888", then all the "AA" Would be bought up by 3-4 guys within the first hour....That being said, as mentioned previously by BDNS, there are tons of good names at $9, such as "Satoshi" "Blockchain" "55555 or 66666" etc etc.... which someone can get and "root for us" with.

It is no mystery why a company would do that, however I don't consider something "decentralized" when the supply is being controlled by one authority and there are "premium" tiers and/or renewals fees.

That actually sounds more similar to new domain registries.

If you don't know how to setup an email account on the server or you don't have money for that, I can direct you to free mail services.

Let's meet again when you sort things out, maybe then we'll consider getting scammed...

Yeah, that's the nTLD mentality, where registries want to be domainers at the same time. Guess what, you can either eat the cake or keep it and watch it rot.

What happens when the "renewal" is not paid?

It sounds like there are smart contracts built-in where the creators are perpetually profiting, which doesn't sound "decentralized" to me

All the above are things fixed within a day, an hour even, right now we are building out the final contract (For the Apes), everything will be working on launch.

Its the same as with ENS.

Almost any build in web3 either has a xxxx Eth raise or a perpetual profit for the creators/co, if that was not the case, why would anyone do it? Its always about making a buck just as with anything else.

Its decentralized in the sense that we cannot interact with the contract once its live, e.g, register names ourselfs for free or delete names from others, etc etc, which would all be possible on a centralized system.

Yes - the renewable revenue enables us to maintain network upgrades and expand upon the offering over time. The very worst thing you can do to a network is not to continually fund upgrades, improvements and expansion.

In terms of pricing of the premium tiers, they are not outrageous either. Again, we have kept them very competitive.

BDNS is a network product. It will end up succeeding if the network experience is great, not as a result of many of the other factors raised on this thread (although they are interesting discussion points, for sure). This early post is just to bring the launch of the network to everyone's attention who might be interested to know about it.

BDNS has launched last week, for anyone interested to take a look.
