Brave's unique domain ".brave" is here

Brave, a privacy-focused Web3-compatible browser, announced its own blockchain domain, ".brave," on May 21, 2025.

A blockchain domain refers to a next-generation domain that is compatible with Web3 and issued using blockchain technology. In addition to ownership of the domain being granted in the form of NFTs, it allows users to link their wallet address to the domain, enabling them to send and receive cryptocurrency using a simple string like "myname.brave."

.brave is a unique blockchain domain issued on the Polygon (Polygon/POL) blockchain, and it is currently possible to search for and purchase your preferred domain name on a dedicated page.

This domain is provided through a partnership with "Unstoppable Domains," which is developing blockchain domains, and it is officially stated that "Brave has become the first browser to launch an on-chain top-level domain (TLD)."

Various Uses of Cryptocurrency Sending and Receiving, Web3 Site Publishing, etc.

Unstoppable Domains is a software company that is working on blockchain domains utilizing "IPFS," which is expected to serve as an alternative to the current internet communication standard "http," and they already offer various types of top-level domains.

The company's blockchain domain features no renewal fees, and not only can you link wallet addresses on various blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana, but you can also create your own website in minutes, upload it to IPFS, and publish your own website.

The domain ".brave" released by Brave this time also has features characteristic of blockchain domains, allowing for the simplification of cryptocurrency transactions, the establishment of censorship-resistant websites using IPFS, and the facilitation of secure messaging.

A Step Towards Building Brave's Unique ID Layer

Brave has supported Web3 domains such as ".crypto" and ".nft" since 2021, but this unique domain rollout is described as the next step towards "building Brave's own ID layer that returns privacy, ownership, and control back to the users".

Additionally, it has been reported that Brave is considering registering with the non-profit organization "ICANN," which manages domain names and IP addresses on the internet, and is exploring the possibility of using ".brave" in both traditional Domain Name Services (DNS) and decentralized networks.

If you want to obtain your own ".brave" domain, you can search for the domain name from "this page", and if there is no owner for that domain, you can proceed directly to the purchase process.
