Announcing Nameserver Forwardings

Gasless Updates, Root Stability, and Flexible Forwarding

Gasless DNS record management

With this new feature, you can now manage your domain’s DNS records offchain, meaning you won’t have to deal with blockchain transaction fees, also known as “gas fees.” This is a big deal because it means you can make unlimited updates or changes to your DNS settings without worrying about the costs adding up. Whether you’re updating your site’s address or changing your records, doing so is now completely free.

Secure Link Between Your Domain and Its Onchain Asset

3DNS ensures your domain name remains firmly linked to its onchain asset by utilizing 3DNS nameservers as the root. This setup is important for keeping your domain secure and tamper-proof. No matter what changes you make to your DNS, your domain’s connection to its blockchain foundation stays intact.

Full Control for 3DNS Domain Owners

Owning your domain as an NFT on 3DNS offers you authority: you can disable forwarding on your domain by simply deleting the NS records. This means you can quickly adjust your site’s direction or make it private, putting you in complete control of your domain.

Wide Ranging Compatibility

One of the best things about nameserver forwarding is its ability to work seamlessly with a variety of platforms. Whether you’re using Cloudflare, Vercel, or Afternic, 3DNS forwarding connects your domain with these services while keeping the unique benefits of your onchain domain intact.
