“.xyz domains have become synonymous with web3 and the next fundamental revolution of the internet. As the dominant web3 infrastructure provider at the bleeding edge of tokenization, minting, wallets, compliance, payments, custody, and many other services, it was important for us to own the .xyz domain that quickly became a staple of the industry.”
– Kevin Lehtiniitty, Co-Founder & CPO, Fortress.xyz
“We love the .xyz domain because it’s become more or less the norm in the crypto/web3 space but also because it complements our brand’s name the best!”
– Amrith, Community, Alongside.xyz

Fair.xyz – Namecheap customer – (United Kingdom)
The .xyz community is growing with unique NFT platforms. Web3 platform Mojito.xyz helps businesses and organizations create NFT marketplaces. Ethereum-based platform Manifold.xyz helps creators mint NFTs embedded with smart contract technology. DAO-governed Universe.xyz helps artists launch community-driven NFT universes. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday we’ll introduce you to a no-code NFT platform aimed at helping creators launch NFT collections with lower transaction costs: Fair.xyz.
Fair.xyz is a no-code NFT platform aimed at creating a more efficient and fair NFT launch process for both creators and collectors. The London-based platform is designed with a combination of smart contract and proprietary queueing technology intended to reduce obstacles like gas wars, failed transactions, and more. Fair.xyz raised a total of $4.5M in funding led by blockchain-focused venture capital firm Eden Block, with participation from leading NFT marketplace OpenSea and seed-stage venture capital firm NFX.1 In February 2022, when the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out, the founders reached out to more than 40 officials from the Ukrainian government with offers to launch an NFT collection to raise funds for the war. They succeeded and launched the first ever government-backed NFT collection.2 On September 7, 2022, Fair.xyz announced a new partnership with leading NFT marketplace OpenSea to launch a feature named “Minter Token.” A Minter Token can cryptographically prove the minter of a specific NFT, even if they no longer own it. Each Minter Token is “soulbound,” which means it is non-tradable and belongs to the user forever.3
We are now on the verge of opening our doors for all of you to experience what we’ve been built, with 15,000+ of you having already signed up to our early access. Join them by visiting https://t.co/XsfP5JZgzc pic.twitter.com/hPm4kaaXSp
— Fair.xyz (@fairxyz) August 9, 2022
On August 9, 2022, Fair.xyz shared a tweet claiming that more than 15,000 people have signed up for the waitlist.4 The highly anticipated platform features proprietary blockchain technology focused on easier launches, while maintaining the creator’s full ownership rights to the project’s smart contract. Fair.xyz’s smart-queuing technology helps to eliminate transaction expenses like gas fees while reducing the number of unsuccessful transactions and bots from traditional minting activities. The platform’s current infrastructure has been optimized to considerably reduce gas fees during a mint on Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. The platform is also developing a solution that will help creators launch NFT collections quickly and simply. In an interview with crypto-focused news source The Block, co-founder Isaac Bentata Chocron explained “When you launch at scale — say 10,000 – you have to deploy your own smart contract, build a website and integrate the NFT fully into it, generate your artwork and decentralize it. It’s a very elaborate process that can take weeks for an experienced team.”5 Fair.xyz hopes to reduce the process down to a matter of minutes.
Fair.xyz is founded by Isaac Kamlish (a former web3 team member at Instagram), Nathan Cohen (a former software developer at Meta), and Isaac Bentata Chocron (a former credit algorithmic trader at Goldman Sachs). The group’s creator-focused innovations and humanitarian efforts are not uncommon in the .xyz community. Just as .xyz works to reshape the future of the internet, Fair.xyz’s founders are striving to reshape the future of web3. As Fair.xyz states on their LinkedIn page, they are starting with digital art, but aim to expand to digital wearables, social tokens, music, architecture, fashion, and more. We look forward to the launch and more accomplishments from Fair.xyz and their founding team. You can learn more by following the platform on LinkedIn @Fairxyz, Instagram @Fair.xyz, and Twitter @Fairxyz, and by visiting Fair.xyz.

Alt.xyz – Gandi customer – (United States)
The .xyz community is home to forward-thinking innovators pioneering the field of alternative assets. Ethereum-based cryptocurrency wallet Monolith.xyz makes it easier for users to buy, store, and spend their cryptocurrency assets. NFT platform Manifold.xyz helps web3 creators like Jay-Z mint their digital art with baked-in smart contracts. Music-focused platform Relics.xyz helps fans to collect and display music collectibles as digital assets, which can be traded or used as utilities in the Metaverse. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to a platform that is spotlighting collectible trading cards as an alternative asset: Alt.xyz.
Alt.xyz is the online home of Alt, an alternative asset platform for those looking to research, trade, and securely store high-value collectible trading cards. The platform, which can be accessed on desktop or mobile app, originated with a sports card focus but has since expanded to include non-sports collectible cards, such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh gaming cards. Alt.xyz launched in March 2021 with $31 million in funding. After four funding rounds, the platform has now raised a total of $306 million.2 Financial backers include early-stage investment fund BoxGroup, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian (who was recently wearing an Alt.xyz branded cap while watching Serena Williams play against Danka Kovinic in the US Open2), and professional athletes like NFL quarterback Tom Brady and NBA forward Kevin Durant.3
The platform features a marketplace for buying and selling trading cards, as well as a safe place to store them. In order to sell a card on Alt.xyz, its condition must first be reviewed and graded by one of the leading third-party trading card authentication and grading groups such as Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) or Beckett Grading Services (BGS). Users then send the card to the Alt.xyz vault, a light-controlled, temperature-controlled, fire-protected facility. Once your card reaches the vault, it is added to your Alt.xyz portfolio. Your card can now be displayed as part of your verified collection, sold on the Alt.xyz exchange, or even borrowed against using the platform’s new lending service called Alt Advance. If you opt to sell your card, ownership can be instantly transferred to the buyer (with Alt.xyz taking a 1.5% portion of each sale). Purchased cards automatically stay in the vault, but owners are able to have their cards pulled from the vault and shipped to them. Many buyers are primarily buying the cards as investments, so they opt to leave the cards in the vault for safekeeping.
Alt.xyz launched Alt Advance in July 2022, which helps collectors borrow up to 40% of their portfolio’s value for up to 12 months at an annual interest rate of 9%-10%. The platform has been rolling out this service on a state-by-state basis because lending regulations vary by region. Alt.xyz hopes to make the service available to all 50 states by the end of 2022.
Founder and CEO Leore Avidar is no stranger to investing or the world of tech startups. He is also the founder and CEO of direct mail platform Lob, and is an angel investor in such startups as performance management platform Lattice and online media platform Curio. Alt.xyz aims to expand into other alternative assets beyond trading cards such as luxury watches and sneaker collections. According to their LinkedIn profile, Alt.xyz envisions a world where anything is an investable asset. Alt previously upgraded their domain from OnlyAlt.com to the more memorable Alt.xyz.
As their team shared with us,
“We officially transitioned our domain from onlyalt.com to Alt.xyz in June when our company went through a rebrand. We are big proponents of Web3 and are excited about the future of it. One of our long term missions at ALT is connecting the digital and physical world, so changing our domain to Alt.xyz was an important step in our rebrand to reflect that mission.”
We are proud to have innovators like Leore defining the .xyz community, and look forward to seeing how their services evolve and continue expanding the world of alternative assets. You can learn more by following the platform on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and by visiting Alt.xyz.

Back in May 2022, we shared a feature about Paramount.xyz and their first NFT project, StarTrek.xyz. In a partnership with web3 studio Recur, Paramount.xyz has begun its mission of bringing the studio’s beloved entertainment characters into the metaverse.

In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we are introducing you to three of Recur studio’s latest NFT projects: Nickelodeon.xyz, CareBears.xyz, and HelloKittyFrens.xyz.

Interested buyers can visit Nickelodeon’s Marketplace tab, where the debut collection “Nickelodeon: Rugrats & Hey Arnold!” has generated over 1,700 ETH ($2.9 million) in total volume on leading NFT marketplace OpenSea (as of July 29, 2022).1 On August 2, 2022, Nickelodeon.xyz shared a collection of the statistics from the successful project, including its ranking as the #1 Trending Collection on OpenSea.2 Each unique NFT has a slime score, which ranks it by rarity compared to the rest of the NFTs in the collection. Nickelodeon NFT holders can earn slime by trading in their NFTs. The more slime you hold, the closer you grow to earning the new Mashup NFTs, which combine features of existing characters to create brand new ones. Grammy-nominated DJ and fellow .xyz community member Steve Aoki (a0k1verse.xyz) worked with Recur to introduce the new characters in a new theme song and accompanying music video.

Fans can collect Hello Kitty characters and earn new digital collectibles by completing challenges as they virtually travel around the world.
The collection of 10,000 NFTs launched on August 25, 2022. The NFTs serve as a ticket to play the Hello Kitty and Friends World game. As detailed on the How it Works page, players can purchase a suitcase pack from the Marketplace for $100. Each suitcase contains a Sanrio character NFT that will serve as your player. There are six characters in total, including Keroppi, Kuromi, and My Melody. There will be two sets of challenges creating an opportunity to travel to eight different cities around the globe. At each destination you can collect special Stamp NFTs to demonstrate your progress. Stamps can be Premium, Rare, or Ultra-Rare, and if you collect three matching Stamps you can exchange them for a surprise. Stamps can be bought or resold with other players on the marketplace. Beginning in October 2022, players will be able to swap their Stamps for special city Snapshots, which are NFT accessories that can be used to decorate their character NFTs with a fresh look from their travels. Players can always decide it’s time to start using a new character, and can sell their existing NFT included with the city Snapshots they have collected. This way, even if a player isn’t able to visit a certain city themselves, they can always buy a character who has visited that destination and unlocked a Snapshot. You can learn more and start your travels by visiting HelloKittyFrens.xyz.

Destiny.xyz – Google Domains customer – (United States)
.XYZ is home to many financial services and developers launching their projects on our versatile domains. Investment platform Launchpool.xyz aims to connect investment funds and communities to work together towards the same goals. Venture capital firm Paradigm.xyz is co-founded by Forbes-featured billionaire Fred Ehrsam and is focused on investing in web3-based companies. Social networking platform Lore.xyz works to make crypto investments more transparent. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to an innovative investment management company aimed at helping investors gain access to the private tech industry: Destiny.xyz.
Destiny.xyz is the online home of Destiny (also styled as D/XYZ), an Austin-based investment management company. The company plans to create a family of products and solutions that can help anyone with a brokerage account to invest in portfolios of private technology companies. In October 2021, Destiny.xyz closed a $100 million fundraising round.1 Early investors include Fred Ehrsam of Paradigm.xyz and seed-stage angel investment group Sand Hill Angels. The investment group shared their support via Twitter, stating “Pre-IPO investment has taken off in the past decade, but access today is still limited to insiders. It’s time to bring public access to private tech. Excited to be an early D/XYZ backer.”2
This fundraising success is helping with the development and launch of the Destiny Tech100, Destiny.xyz’s debut service. The Destiny Tech100 is intended to be a portfolio of the top 100 venture-backed private technology companies, helping everyday investors to have access to these private market leaders for the first time. The project is aimed to provide sophisticated, diversified, and liquid exposure to 100 of the top venture-backed technology companies while eliminating obstacles that limit private market access.
Destiny.xyz Founder and CEO Sohail Prasad previously created Forge Global, a private securities marketplace building trading, custody, and data infrastructure to service high-growth unicorn companies. Forge Global transacts billions of dollars in stock annually, and has raised over $250 million in financing from institutions such as Wells Fargo and German multinational insurance company Munich Re. Before developing Forge Global in 2014, Sohail was one of the youngest founders to go through technology startup accelerator Y Combinator at the age of 18 years old. Sohail has advised and invested in over 150 startups, including project management software company Notion and cloud-based software company Zenefits. Sohail continues to invest in seed stage companies through S2 Capital, and serves as its Founding Partner.
Innovators like Sohail Prasad continue to use .xyz domains to bring their new services to life. To align with their D/XYZ branding, Destiny.xyz also registered the D.xyz domain. This extremely memorable one-letter .xyz domain points to Destiny.xyz, which is a very smart idea. If someone is on the go and wants to quickly and easily reach the website on their mobile device, they just have to type D.xyz to reach Destiny.xyz. The company is still developing its services, but you can fill out their survey to stay updated as they prepare to launch. You can learn more by visiting Destiny.xyz.
