Unstoppable now allows them to conveniently do so in one place,” added Sanket Shah, VP and Head of Growth at Polygon Labs.

“Unstoppable Domains becomes the industry’s first to offer both traditional .com domains and third-party Web3 domain names for use in web3.” this statement is a false, there are several other registrars that already do this and they are surely aware of.
They are now making .coms work like web 3 names…Now if they could just get web 3 names to actually to work like .coms they would have something.
.Com is and always will be the King of Domain names.
Web3 domain extensions are just fumes. Just like new gTLD domain extensions are.
“Unstoppable Domains becomes the industry’s first to offer both traditional .com domains and third-party Web3 domain names”
That’s a straight up lie as Namecheap, Porkbun, and others have been selling Handshake SLD’s for a couple years now. Unstoppable doesn’t seem to offer any advantage over regular domains and are just trying to grift on “web3” hype while downplaying actual solutions like Handshake or ENS domains.
