There are only two days left before the .locker top-level domain (TLD) launches to the public at 16:00 UTC this Wednesday, October 23.

.locker combines a traditional Web2 domain name with Web3 tokenized identities on the Bitcoin blockchain. This gives users the capability to securely utilize decentralized applications (dApps) and the advantage of managing cryptocurrency wallets with a .locker Web2 domain name.

.locker enters General Availability (GA) this Wednesday, October 23. Once in GA, all domain names will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-Register your desired .locker domains with EnCirca before Wednesday to increase your chances of securing your domains before someone else does.

EnCirca’s .locker Pre-Registrations will be automatically submitted for registration the moment General Availability opens to the public. Pre-Registration is the best opportunity to secure the .locker domains you want before anyone else.

“.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 with a secure way to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 technologies, unlocking the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) 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, 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.”

Availability and Special Introductory Offer

.locker domains will be available for general registration on October 23, 2024, on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-orders are currently open for a limited-time introductory price of $15.
