ID.xyz – Internet.bs customer (Australia)
Happy Independence Day to all of the American members of #GenXYZ! Today the U.S. is celebrating the day that a group of inventors, pragmatists, and dreamers united and declared independence from Britain, and who went on to found what has become one of the most powerful nations in history. So, what better way to celebrate than to look at an .xyz adopter who also decided to declare independence from traditional social media and founded a new company that is aiming to disrupt the way we use our favorite social apps: ID.xyz.
ID.xyz is an app that centralizes your offline and online identities under one ID, meaning you can access all your social media apps, phone numbers, emails, and more all in one convenient place. But that’s not all, as ID.xyz also has a messaging feature with media playback, and an “invisible data” service they call XYZ. The XYZ feature hides your data and content without deleting it, meaning you can access it when you want, but you can keep it under wraps when you don’t.
You can have unique usernames and profiles for all your social media apps, email, etc. on ID.xyz as well, so you can have a profile to connect with friends, another to connect with family, and another to connect with co-workers all in one easily accessible place, without the hassle of switching apps and changing logins.
Another unique feature of ID.xyz is the ‘AIR’ feature, which allows you to take multi-media from your device and drop it into your surroundings via Augmented Reality. You can select a video and put it on the street in front of you, and you’ll be able to see it play as if it were really there.
Freedom and independence are great motivators that many of the brightest minds throughout history have used to bring about radical change to society. ID.xyz is hoping to found something great that will transform how millions of people live their lives both online and offline, and their intrepid spirit is another example of #GenXYZ’s impact in shaping our future.

EdgeArchitects.xyz – Network Solutions customer (Saudi Arabia)
Throughout our #WebsiteWednesday series we’ve highlighted #GenXYZ members from many industries who have embraced .xyz as their domain of choice. The design community, though, has developed a special attachment to .xyz. It has brought us some of our most inspiring users, like influential fashion designers PublicSpace.xyz and Goetze.xyz, prolific graphic designer SoaLee.xyz, and award winning design firm Vierkant.xyz, to name just a few. This week, we’re heading back into the world of design to look at an architecture firm that has received worldwide acclaim and an award from the World Architecture Festival; EdgeArchitects.xyz.
Since 2004, EdgeArch has been a leading international architecture practice that takes advantage of its global network of engineers, project managers, architects, and consultants to create beautiful and sustainable structures. EdgeArch has designed and engineered everything from major airports and hospitals to university buildings and diplomatic missions, and their work has risen to be recognized internationally, including garnering two nominations in the 2017 World Architecture Festival awards. EdgeArch won the category of “Future – Civic” for their design of the Saudi Consulate Building in Karachi, Pakistan.
In 2016, EdgeArch took the next step in bringing their brand to a global audience and announced the launch of their new home online, EdgeArchitects.xyz. The domain is a perfect fit for the firm; a world renowned and award winning architecture company deserves no less than the ability to brand on a memorable domain name using the world’s most popular new extension, .xyz.
EdgeArchitects.xyz are backed by experience, have proven their exceptional work time and time again, and are trusted with taking on the most important projects Saudi Arabia has to offer. With their .xyz domain they’re poised to not only continue thriving in their local market, but to expand their reach and influence and bring their genius to clients around the world.
Supernova.xyz – GoDaddy customer (Singapore)
Retail is one of the world’s oldest and largest industries, but with the dawn of e-commerce and the meteoric rise of social media use, retail is getting a big makeover in the 21st century. Want to know how to launch a retail brand that is positioned to harness these new technologies to take the market by storm? Then look no further than the work of this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, Supernova.xyz.
Supernova.xyz, founded by serial investor and entrepreneur Emily Hamilton, is a brand management company which has designed and launched 4 unique and highly successful retail products: fitness and nutrition program ‘bodyboss’, weight loss solution ‘SkinnyMint’, skin care system ‘Sand & Sky’, and hair nourishment lotion ‘Coco & Eve’. Supernova has pushed these brands to staggeringly impressive levels of social influence, including garnering a total of over 70 million views across their social media channels and amassing an audience of over 2 million women reached via social media per day. Even social media queen Kylie Jenner is a believer in Supernova.xyz’s products.
So, how does Supernova boost their direct-to-consumer brands to such high levels of social influence and commercial success? It’s all in their systematic approach, which maps out product development, branding and packaging, social media marketing, an e-commerce storefront, international shipping, and customer service to ensure the highest level of consumer satisfaction. This synchronization of product development and brand messaging gives each of Supernova.xyz’s products a relatable identity, paired with high product accessibility.
“The inspiration for Supernova.xyz was to combine innovative product development and social media marketing to create and build digitally native brands. We aim to grow our existing brand portfolio to expand the products on offer and the markets we reach. Plus we are incubating more brands to expand the brand portfolio to cover more beauty, fitness and health brands.
When it came time to build the Supernova.xyz website, we were inspired to use a .xyz domain when we saw Alphabet’s abc.xyz.”
– Emily Hamilton, Founder of Supernova.xyz
As members of Generations X, Y and Z, we live in a world with easy access to technology that is vitally connected by social media networks. This means that, with the right strategy, we have a truly unique opportunity to develop products we believe in and grow them into global brands. Supernova.xyz is a perfect example of how #GenXYZ is seizing this moment in history, and serves as proof to every young entrepreneur that their dreams of bringing their idea to millions can be a reality.
This Saturday is .xyz’s 4th birthday! We’re celebrating 4 years of supporting the next generation of internet users by giving them the freedom to get online with an affordable and memorable domain name, and the power to choose the domain that they want.
Our mission from Day 1 has been to reset the internet to give Generations X, Y, and Z a domain extension that’s made for them, and one that is dedicated to making the internet a better place for them. So, what we’d really like for our 4th birthday is a truly open and free internet for everyone.
That’s why during our 4th Anniversary campaign from today until June 30th:
We’ve pledged to donate a minimum of $10,000 during this campaign, but we’re confident that with your help we can make that number much, much higher. You can track the progress of our donation campaign on our gen.xyz homepage.
What we’ve accomplished with all of you in the #GenXYZ community of users and supporters these past 4 years has been everything we’d hoped and dreamed for when .xyz launched. But we’re just scratching the surface of what we can do, and with your help we’ll continue to shape the future of the internet for generations and make it the best it can be.
Are you ready to join us in protecting a free and open internet? Then renew your .xyz domain or register one for 2 years today!
