Unstoppable Domains Files Patent for Blockchain-Based DNS Record Resolution

The company currently holds multiple issued patents concerning blockchain technology and domain names. Unstoppable Domains has submitted a patent application for Off-chain domain name record resolution using blockchain assets. This patent application outlines methods for leveraging control over blockchain assets to modify DNS records on traditional domains, such as those ending in . com. According to the application: The present invention embodiments pertain to network domain access and security, specifically focusing on linking Domain Name Server (DNS) records for Web2 domains to a blockchain asset, and limiting DNS record modifications to authorized users who can authenticate with their blockchain public key. A blockchain asset may encompass any digital asset or item that identifies, is affiliated with, or contains objects stored on a blockchain, including sets of records, objects referencing record sets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), NFT domain names, fungible tokens, wallet addresses, and more.
Additionally, these embodiments may accept a Web2 domain name and return values resolved through the blockchain asset associated with that domain or particular DNS records. The company filed this patent in November 2023, and it was published just last week. Unstoppable Domains possesses several patents related to blockchain technology and domain names. Initially, the company provided alt-root blockchain-based domain names but has recently expanded into traditional domain registration and services, becoming an ICANN-accredited registrar.
