Web3 digital identity service provider Unstoppable Domains has raised a $64 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital. Also participating were Polygon, CoinDCX and CoinGecko.

  • The raise gives the firm "unicorn" status, a term applied to startups with a valuation of $1 billion or more.
  • Unstoppable Domains provides domains in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT) in order to give users a digital identity suited to 150 different Web3 applications.
  • One such advantage of this would be to replace lengthy crypto wallet addresses, making them more user friendly.
  • The firm said that so far it has registered 2.5 million such domains.
  • Unstoppable Domains plans to use the $64 million to grow its partnerships with Web3 apps and improve its product.
