About Decentraweb
Founded in 2021, Decentraweb aims to transform the internet and domain name systems (DNSs) by allowing users to freely create their own top-level domains (TLDs) and own them permanently as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Corporations and businesses can buy and own a completely custom Top-Level-Domain (TLD), while individuals can purchase their own name or keywords for TLDs. Once registered, TLD owners can create and sell associated subdomains.
