Unstoppable gets ICANN accreditation

Unstoppable Domains has become the second blockchain alt-root naming service to get its ICANN accreditation.
The company said today it intends to carry the “the vast majority of generic top-level domains”. It had already been selling .com names, alongside its suite of blockchain extensions, as a reseller.
It also said it intends to sell ccTLD domains, although ICANN accreditation is of course not required for most of those.
It’s the second purveyor of blockchain names to move into the domain name industry after Freename, which got its accreditation last month.
Unstoppable is also working with several blockchain technology companies to prepare applications for new gTLDs when ICANN opens its next application window in 2026.
