By now, you’ve heard the buzz around NFTs and crypto. But there’s one Web3 asset that’s flying under the radar — and making people money in their sleep:
Web3 Domains.
We’re talking .eth, .crypto, .nft, .dao — domain names that live on the blockchain, not on traditional DNS servers. And bhai, these are more than digital vanity plates. They’re income machines. 💸
🌐 What Are Web3 Domains?
Unlike .com or .in domains, Web3 domains are:
- Owned, not rented (once minted, they’re yours forever)
- Censorship-resistant (stored on decentralized servers)
- Wallet-friendly (can act as your crypto wallet ID)
- Tradable like NFTs on platforms like OpenSea
Example: SmartlyMinted.eth could serve as your brand wallet, Web3 identity, and even host a decentralized website.
💸 How You Can Earn from Web3 Domains
1. Domain Flipping (Buy Low, Sell High)
Like regular domain flipping, you:
- Buy trending keywords early (e.g., aiwealth.eth, desiblocks.crypto)
- Hold until demand spikes
- Flip them on OpenSea or Unstoppable Domains for profit
💰 Real Case: Some .eth domains sold for 5–6 figures in ETH
2. Rent or Lease Your Domain
You can lease high-demand names to Web3 startups or DAOs looking for branded URLs. Platforms like:
- Punk Domains
- Unstoppable Domains Leasing (beta)
…are building this monetization layer.
3. Monetize as a Web3 Website
You can host a decentralized site or portfolio that accepts:
- Wallet tips
- Sponsored content
- NFT sales
- Token-gated access (premium courses or community)
All tied to your domain.
4. Use as Your Web3 Brand Identity
Like a premium .com domain in Web2, owning a powerful Web3 domain can:
- Increase your credibility
- Make your content wallet-friendly
- Be bundled as part of a personal digital asset portfolio
