A one-time, upfront fee is needed to unlock one’s domain for life, with no further renewal payments required.
Since its launch in 2018, Unstoppable has registered 2.5 million domains integrated with over 150 Web3 applications and more than 80 wallets and exchanges. The company claims to have built more than 300 partnerships with leading Web3 companies like Polygon, Blockchain.com, and MoonPay.
