Acquire unique single-letter domain names with 1.country

For the first time, 1.country – a blockchain-based domain name provider is unlocking 1-character premium domains to be claimed. These domains offer a unique opportunity to own a piece of internet real estate that provides instant brand recognition, a strong online presence, and a memorable web address for businesses, organizations, and individuals alike.

Historically, single-letter domains have not been easily accessible to purchase on any domain registration platform as they are locked & reserved to be sold at high prices or auction. Domain names can be claimed for 3 months and then can be renewed.

Most importantly, with 1.country, users don’t have to choose. 1.country delivers an ICANN-approved secure top-level domain with the superpowers of smart contracts backed by the Harmony blockchain.

Innovative features designed to create a personalised brand

They are also announcing new powerful features to help creators and domain owners boost their brand and identity.

Using email aliases, users can create unique email addresses for different purposes, such as personal, work, or anything they desire. Ex: [email protected]. While Vanity URLs offer the ability to create custom, personalized URLs that are easy to remember and brand. Ex: 1.country/shop, 1.country/payment, 1.country/about

1.country also offers users URL parameters, the key benefit of which is the ability to add widgets from their .country page, pin posts, and stake. Their Profile Enhancements feature offersthe ability to add iFrames and directly pay and tip on 1.country sites.

1.country’s exclusive affiliate program

In addition to this, 1.country also announced the launch of its blockchain-based affiliate program, which gives all 1.country domain holders a chance to make up to 50% commission automatically on every new domain sold.

Every domain sale generated through the unique affiliate seller link will be automatically paid out after the transaction closes. Unlike traditional affiliate systems, 1.country partners get paid immediately.

“This opportunity is unprecedented on other platforms — and we are enabling it with Web3 functionality. Thanks to the support of our community, we are excited about the progress and adoption of 1.country and look forward to sharing future platform innovations. We remain focused on democratizing access to Web3 and further connecting the worlds of Web2 and Web3,” said Stephen Tse, Founder of Harmony.

Revolutionising the world of e-commerce

As Web3 evolves, creators need a solution to own their data and identity, figure out new business models, and capture the value the current web fails to deliver.

The current Internet is dominated by advertising business models which extract value from users — 1.country opens a new era of possibilities for digital commerce to empower them. Creators can use 1.country to showcase their work, engage their community, and connect directly with their fans globally without a central intermediary.

Web3 identity is rapidly growing, with projects such as Ethereum Name Service and Unstoppable Domains gaining over 5 million total registrations.

With the goal of building the Internet where users own their personal assets, data, and communities, 1.country is the extension of the digital nations or network state ethos. A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action. By claiming a 1.country domain name, users can start building their own digital communities and Web3 nations.

Conclusion

Launched in March by Hidden State, a Harmony ecosystem developer, 1.country is the world’s first integrated platform for Web2 domain names and Web3 profiles.

Before 1.country, users could buy a traditional web domain name through domain name registrars or a Web3 domain name based on smart contracts. Now, in just a few clicks, 1.country allows users to easily create their Web3 profile, build a unified digital identity and delivers a one-stop-shop for domain registration, management, and monetization.
