Optimism Launches Superchain Identity with 3DNS and .box domains

San Francisco, CA, July 12, 2024 – 3DNS and .box, in partnership with Optimism, are excited to announce the official launch of Superchain Identity. This innovative product introduces the subdomains .super.box and .chain.box, with the goal of securing .super and .chain in the next round of ICANN gTLD auctions.

Onchain Domain Innovation

Superchain Identity is designed to provide users with unparalleled control over their digital identities. Built on Optimism’s OP Mainnet, these subdomains offer the same functionality as traditional ICANN-accredited domains, including website hosting, email management, in addition to functioning as ENS names. It’s one Identity for onchain and online.

Paving the way

3DNS is the industry leader in onchain domains, leveraging blockchain technology to transform domain management. The collaboration with Optimism ensures that Superchain Identity operates with exceptional speed, security, and cost-efficiency.

3DNS has already formed a strong strategic partnership with Intercap Registry, a leading ICANN Accredited Registry with experience acquiring and launching innovative TLDs. Together, they have launched the first fully on-chain TLD, .box. 3DNS and Intercap aim to secure the .super and .chain TLDs in the upcoming ICANN gTLD auction.

Optimism and 3DNS: A Powerful Partnership

“Superchain Identity represents a significant milestone in digital identity management,” said Paul Gauvreau, CEO of 3DNS. “Our partnership with Optimism enables us to offer a seamless, secure, and affordable onchain domain experience.”

Mark Gerhart, Partnerships Lead at Optimism, added, “By integrating our scalable rollup with 3DNS’s domain management platform, we are paving the way for a new era of internet infrastructure and digital identity.”
