In the online space, we can express our ideas and creativity through various channels, including domain names. However, the possibilities for self-expression in domain names have been limited for a long time. But with the introduction of the “.ART” (dot ART) domain zone, everything has changed. In this article, we will explore how “.ART” opens up complete freedom of self-expression, allowing the registration of traditional Web2 DNS domain names and also utilizing ENS from the Web3 world. All these capabilities make “.ART” the perfect choice for those who seek complete freedom and individuality in their domain names.

So, what makes “.ART” so unique? Let’s find out.

👉 Here are a few reasons:
1. Registering domain in any language;
2. Using DNS like ENS;
3. Competitive prices for DNS and ENS domains.
4. All emojis are available without exception;
5. DNS & ENS AS NFT (Soon)

1. Registering domain names in any language:

The .ART domain zone allows for registering domain names in any language 🚩. This means you can use your native language or any other language that reflects your culture and self-expression. Such linguistic diversity enables the creation of unique and memorable domain names that truly represent your individuality.

.ART provides an excellent opportunity to choose a suitable domain for use as a regular DNS or an impressive ENS domain.

2. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and .ART domain names

.ART domains are fully compatible with ENS, which means you can register your .ART domain name and associate it with smart contracts and other blockchain addresses. This provides security and reliability for your domain and opens up additional possibilities for its use.

You can link your DNS domain to ENS using TXT record or mint ENS using emoji (✌️) without DNS involvement.

*The .ART domains have a close integration with Ethereum Name Service (ENS). They share the same root domain as .ETH domains, which means that in most cases where .ETH domains are supported, .ART domains are also supported.

3. Competitive prices for DNS and ENS domains.

The .ART domain zone supports both DNS domains and ENS domains. Each of these systems has its own pricing model.

  • The price of ENS domains.
    In the .ART zone was initially the same as .ETH domains upon its launch on March 1st. However, based on feedback and sentiments from the Ethereum community regarding domain pricing, the pricing for ENS domains in the .ART zone has been revised. The new pricing policy for ENS domains in .ART was introduced on April 11th and looked as follows:
  • The price of DNS domains.
    .ART domain zone is a premium top-level domain. The prices for domains range from low to high levels. Regular domains are available at a price starting from approximately $12, while premium domains can cost $10,000. Additionally, super premium domains with a negotiated price are offered in the .ART zone, which possess special value and uniqueness. The pricing for premium domains depends on their potential commercial value.

📖 If you link your DNS domain to an ENS domain, you don’t need to renew both of these domains and pay for each separately. Instead, you only need to renew the DNS domain and thereby confirm your ownership of the ENS domain. This is cost-effective as you only pay for the renewal of the DNS domain, and it will serve as the primary identifier for your domain on the Ethereum network.

4. Total freedom in emoji.

Protocol.art has revolutionized the traditional approach to emoji minting by offering the ability to create domains using 1x and 2x character emojis. This opens up endless possibilities for creative and unique domain naming.

📖 When you purchase a premium ENS domain name with an emoji, you don’t need to pay the minting price every year. Your renewal cost for such an emoji domain will be $20 or $40 per year. This allows you to maintain your unique and expressive domain without incurring the initial high cost of minting. By paying a reasonable annual renewal fee, you can continue to enjoy the benefits of your emoji domain and showcase your individuality in the Ethereum ecosystem.

5. DNS & ENS AS NFT (Soon)
On July 7, 2023, DNS trading as NFT ERC721 standard will be launched, and closer to this date, all the information will be announced. So, follow us on social media and stay tuned for the latest updates!
