.locker Domains Available October 23 with Bitcoin Blockchain Integration

EnCirca is thrilled to announce the opening of pre-orders for the .locker domain extension, set to launch to the public October 23. This groundbreaking domain combines traditional domain registration with Web3 tokenized digital identities on the Bitcoin blockchain, offering users a secure and innovative way to access decentralized applications and manage cryptocurrency wallets.

Pre-orders are available now for a limited-time introductory price of $15 at https://www.encirca.com/locker

".locker is the first-ever ICANN-approved domain extension to introduce mainstream users to the Bitcoin blockchain," said Thomas Barrett, President of EnCirca. "Each .locker domain is tokenized to become the user's unique identity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, providing a seamless and secure entry into Web3."

Bitcoin Blockchain Meets Domain Names

With Bitcoin (BTC) currently dominating the market with a $1.2 trillion market cap and representing over 54% of the global cryptocurrency market, the .locker domain extension is positioned to leverage Bitcoin's power and reach. This new extension provides users a secure way to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, unlocking the future of decentralized finance and other Web3 innovations.

.locker: The Future of Domain Registration

The .locker domain offers a hybrid system:

• Part One: A traditional Web2 domain name, perfect for websites and emails.
• Part Two: A corresponding Bitcoin-based digital identity, enabling users to interact with Web3 applications like DeFi, cryptocurrency wallets, and Web3 social networks.

Upon registering a .locker domain with EnCirca, users will receive an invitation to install Leather, a leading Bitcoin digital wallet provider. After installation, the .locker domain is tokenized into a non-fungible token (NFT) and stored securely in the Leather wallet.

"Unlike many Web3 digital identity projects that often fail to adhere to consumer protection standards, .locker follows DNS industry standards to ensure security and safety for all users," added Barrett. "This provides essential safeguards against impersonation and fraud, distinguishing .locker from other Web3 identity solutions."
