.LOCKER Registration
Why .locker
The .locker solution offers end users a seamless connection between Web2 domain names and corresponding Web3 digital identities. Web2 domain names will be registered through ICANN-accredited registrars using the Domain Name System (DNS), followed by the Bitcoin blockchain minting of corresponding Web3 digital identities through Orange Domains using the BNS protocol. This protocol leverages the Bitcoin blockchain’s security and resilience for a fluid user experience.
The Web2 to Web3 Process
Web2 domain name registration will be conducted through ICANN-accredited registrars. This process mirrors the registration procedure of most TLDs, like .com. The only difference is that in order to mint and manage the corresponding Web3 Digital Identity, Orange Domains requires a valid registrant email address (no proxies are allowed).
The process to register a domain name and obtain a corresponding Web3 digital identity is as follows:
- User registers a .locker domain name using their email
- Users are sent an email to register/mint their corresponding Web3 Digital Identity through Orange Domains
- Users will be guided to set up a Bitcoin network-enabled digital wallet, or they can enter the address of an existing wallet
- Users can register/mint their corresponding Web3 Digital Identity. The .locker BNS registrar contact will mint the name to the user's address.

Blockchain FAQs
How will I be able to view a blockchain website?
You will need to use a mirroring service, a browser extension or a browser that supports blockchain domains. Brave is one that supports blockchain domains natively.
Will I be able to search for and find blockchain domain websites on Google or other search engines?
Major search engines do not currently index blockchain domain websites. For now, you will be able to search for them at unstoppabledomains.com, on partner applications that integrate our search bar, or on blockchain apps that index blockchain domain websites.
Are blockchain domains part of ICANN / traditional DNS?
No. Blockchain domains are what’s called alternate roots. They are not part of the current DNS.
