XYZ presents #BlockchainThursday

The .xyz blockchain community has continued to grow since the XYZ Registry first worked with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) to enable ETH wallet pairing with .xyz domains in 2018. TechCrunch writer Anita Ramaswamy noticed that .xyz had become the go-to URL ending for many web3 companies and published an article titled “WTF is .xyz?” XYZ continued innovating with the blockchain community in 2021, when we offered eth.xyz, a service aimed to help ENS users share what they want with the world. With eth.xyz, we enabled all .eth name holders to display their ENS profiles in all web browsers with .xyz. The ENS profiles serve as a hub for all the important public information connected to an .eth name, such as NFTs and wallet addresses. To use it, just add “.xyz” to the end of any .eth name in any web browser and the corresponding ENS profile will display (i.e. Nick.eth = Nick.eth.xyz).

As .xyz’s popularity among web3 developers continues to grow, we have launched a new blog series titled #BlockchainThursday to complement our long-running #WebsiteWednesday series. Every Thursday we now share a #BlockchainThursday feature about an innovative and forward-thinking member of .xyz’s blockchain community. Here’s a look at the websites we’ve featured so far:
